DANBURY, Conn., April 1 (UPI) -- Teresa Giudice is missing her family "terribly" while in prison.
The 42-year-old reality star opened up in an interview with Us Weekly, her first since entering Danbury Federal Correctional Institution in January. Giudice is serving a sentence for fraud, and spoke through her attorney, James J. Leonard, Jr.
"I miss [husband] Joe [Giudice] and my girls terribly, but we are going to get through this as a family one day at a time," she declared to the magazine. "We will be stronger because of this. Nothing can break us apart."
Giudice and Joe Giudice were sentenced to 15 and 41 months in prison, respectively, on multiple charges of fraud in October 2014. The couple will serve their terms separately on account of their four daughters, with Teresa expected to be released early in February 2016.
"When you have four kids you have to stay strong," husband Joe Giudice shared with Extra. "Her being away definitely makes me appreciate her way more, a lot more, and you know everything she did ... We're not bad people, we're not you know, these criminals or whatever."
Giudice and her family came to fame on Bravo reality series The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Joe Giudice said it is unlikely they will return on the show, saying, "The numbers would have to be very big in order to go back ... as of right now, there's nothing."
