Teresa Giudice confirms she'll split from husband Joe if he's deported

Teresa Giudice confirms in the final part of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" season 9 reunion on Wednesday night that she and her husband, Joe, will split if he's indeed deported back to Italy, citing her daughters as the reason for such a decision.

Her admission came after a prompt from Andy Cohen during a frank discussion about a judge's October order that Joe be deported once his prison sentence is up -- an order that the couple is appealing.

"This man is the one and only love of your life, but what you're saying is that you would split up ... that's what you're saying," Cohen said in a clip that premiered on People.

"I mean, unless my kids say, 'Mommy, I want to move to Italy,'" Giudice responded. "Gia's going to college next year; I haven't spoken to Milania or Audriana about it, we haven't gotten there yet; and Gabriella already voiced her opinion to me. She was like, 'That would be so hard for me, Mommy.' She doesn't speak the language. She's like, 'That would kill me even more.'"

Forcing her four daughters to move to Italy at such pivotal times in their lives is something she wouldn't want to do, especially because they've "been through so much already" with both of their parents serving back-to-back prison sentences -- Teresa served 11 months in prison, three months before Joe's current 41-month sentence for fraud.

"I'm not doing a long-distance relationship," Giudice added. "I'm not doing it. You know, I want somebody with me every day. I know exactly what happens. You know, I'm sure he'll be with other women. It happens. We do the long-distance thing, it's not going to work. I'd be like, 'Bye, bye!'"

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Teresa's sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, who also stars on "RHONJ" with her, backed up her stance on the situation, also pointing to how difficult such a move would be for their children.

"I did not think that she was gonna just pick up with her four daughters, who are about to enter college and high school, and move over to Italy," Melissa said. "I didn't think that that was even an option or something that she was considering."

Joe and Teresa Giudice, who are both 46, got married back in 1999. His deportation order comes on the basis that, though he has lived in the United States since his childhood, he never officially became a U.S. citizen.

In the past few weeks, Teresa has been romantically linked to Blake Schreck, with photos showing them hand-in-hand on a recent beach vacation. All parties have denied the rumored romance.

Part three of the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" reunion airs on Wednesday, March 6, at 8 p.m. EST on Bravo.
