On Friday, the personalities of the “True Hosts of New Jersey” – who broke up in December 2019 – posted touching tributes on Instagram in honor of the 20th birthday of daughter Gia.
“Happy 20th birthday @_giagiudice I love you to infinity and beyond β€οΈππΎππππ I can’t wait to celebrate with you tonight,” Teresa, 48, captioned back
In a separate post, Teresa called Gia “strong” and “ferocious,” adding, “you are doing everything wrong in the world right.”
“I love you more than you will ever know, and I admire your strength and beauty. I love you girl and I hope this is the best birthday so far !! Thank you for always being such a wonderful role model for your sisters, I am so proud of you !! “Teresa continued.
Teresa shares Gia and daughters Gabriela, 16, Milania, 15, and Adriana, 11, with Joe, 48. Giudices finalized their divorce in September.
Joe, who lives in his native Italy after a tumultuous battle for deportation, also shared a video message on Friday dedicated to his firstborn.
“Happy birthday to my beautiful princess, GIA! βFrom my little girl playing with dolls, you grew into a strong and independent woman that I am proud of. Your achievements make me smile and be proud [sic] from you, βJoe breathed.
“I love you, girl, more than words could ever describe. Thank you for being you and for being so special. I always want you to know that you are the best big sister, daughter and friend of many. Thank you daily for being an understanding and supportive daughter. You are not only my daughter, but also my best friend, βhe continued.
In November, Gia and her younger sister Milania visited Joe in Italy and documented their travels on social media.
