Joe and Teresa Giudice have got problems.

They might both be headed to prison soon, which obviously has them worried about how to provide for their four daughters in the coming years.

So Joe and Teresa are selling their $4 million dollar mansion in Jersey, a move they probably should’ve made months ago, as they might get locked up as early as October 2.

Why did they wait, you ask? Well, for the same reason they do just about everything – to keep up appearances!

Yes, Teresa apparently insisted that the sale of the house be delayed until after filming for the sixth season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey had ended. Riiiight, because that way they’ll be able to keep it a secret.

 

“The upcoming episode will feature Teresa looking for a new house,” says one insider. “Producers wanted her to discuss selling the house, but she refused. She purposefully waited until filming finished.”

To make matters worse, friends say that Teresa frequently referred to the house as her “dream home,” and both she and Joe feel that being forced to sell it is the ultimate humiliation.

“The decision to sell the house was a very tough one, because it had been Teresa’s dream house,” says one source.

“Joe has just been crying so much recently because he feels the house is a symbol of everything that has put them in the crosshairs of prosecutors.”

Joe and Teresa’s sentencing has been delayed several times, but they’re expected to finally face the music in early October. Joe could be incarcerated for up to four years, while Teresa might be sentenced to 27 months.
