Opening up about Joe’s 41-month prison sentence in an ABC News interview, Tuesday, Teresa said she didn’t necessarily need to give her husband advice for prison because “he lived through the whole thing.” Tearing up, Teresa turned away from the camera lens and told ABC’s Mara Schiavocampo, “I’m getting emotional,” and momentarily left the couch. Teresa and Joe, 44, who were married in 1999, were both sentenced to prison terms for mail, wire and bankruptcy fraud in 2014. Teresa completed 11 months at Danbury Correctional Institute last December, and Joe turned himself in three months later.
