The reality TV lifestyle just got really real. Seven months after pleading guilty to multiple mortgage and bankruptcy fraud, Joe Giudice, Teresa Giudice's husband from The Real Housewives of New Jersey, was sentenced today to 41 months in prison, two years of supervised probation and was ordered to pay $414,588 in restitution.
So, no more trips to the Brownstone.
As for Teresa, her sentence will be handed down today as well, and according to Deadline, it's looking like she'll see some jail time too. Update: And right on cue, Teresa has reportedly been sentenced to 15 months in jail:

— Us Weekly (@usweekly) October 2, 2014Teresa read a letter in court according to the New Jersey Record: "I fully take responsibility for my actions. I deeply love my family... My four daughters are my life. I wrote this last night because I knew I was going to be nervous... I'm scared, I'm not going to deny it, I'm really scared. I have heard you. I need to live to do things for myself. It's time for me to wake up... I will make this right no matter what it takes."
The judge has already decided to stagger Teresa and Joe's jail sentences, so at least one parent will be able to be home to take care of the children. As it turns out though, we actually got a hold about how the couple is feeling about their impending future:
