Joe Giudice is one “proud” dad. Over the past several days, The Real Housewives of New Jersey ex-husband shared a series of messages for daughters Milania Giudice and Gabriella Giudice, who each recently arrived at exciting milestones.
On Monday, February 2, Joe celebrated Milania’s 20th birthday — that’s right, little Milania is officially out of her teens — with a heartwarming tribute that included a mix of older and more recent photos of The Real Housewives of New Jersey daughter.

“Happy Birthday my beautiful Milania,” he captioned the carousel. “From the moment you came into my life, you’ve been nothing but pure fire, love, and strength. You’ve always had your own voice, your own mind, and the biggest heart. Watching you grow into the young woman you are today makes me so proud words can’t even explain.”

Joe reassured Milania that she’d “always be [his] little girl” before emphasizing just how much he missed her as she continued her college journey in Tampa, Florida.
“I love you more than you’ll ever know, and I’m so grateful to be your dad,” he added. “Never stop being you — bold, fearless, and real. Daddy loves you always.”
About a week before the birthday post, Joe shared a photo of himself and Milania in the Bahamas, where he’s resided since 2021. The throwback was accompanied by a brief but sweet message in which Joe reiterated his unconditional love for Milania.
“No matter where life takes us, my love for you never changes,” he wrote on January 24. “Counting the days until I see you again.”

Joe shared the message just days after Gabriella said goodbye to the U.S. and headed overseas for a semester abroad. The 21-year-old economics major will study in Barcelona over the next three months with some travel adventures in between. As seen in her frequent TikTok vlogs, Gabriella has already visited Portugal, Budapest, and Amsterdam.
“So proud of my girl. Watching Gabriella chase her dreams, study abroad, and see the world is one of my greatest blessings,” Joe wrote in a January 31 Instagram. “Europe looks good on you, but your heart and hard work make it even better. Love you always. So grateful, so blessed.
In addition to Milania and Gabriella, Joe shares two other daughters — Gia Giudice and Audriana Giudice — with his ex-wife, Teresa Giudice. The former couple divorced in 2020, about two years after Joe was deported from the U.S.
