Teresa Giudice on Sunday asked a panel audience to “pray” for her husband Joe Giudice amid news that he will be deported to Italy once he completes his prison sentence.

Giudice made her first public appearance on a panel with other “Real Housewives” stars at Connecticut’s Mohegan Sun Casino and addressed her husband’s impending deportation with one statement, People reported.

“Everybody, please pray for my family that my husband Joe gets to come home see our daughter Gia graduate,” the reality star said, according to a person at the event. “And that’s all I’m going to say.”

Another witness at the event told Us Weekly that Giudice said: “she cannot wait to see the light at the end of the tunnel.”

Earlier this month, a judge ordered Joe Giudice to return to his native Italy after he completes his 41-month prison sentence next March. Giudice, who is serving time for mail, wire and bankruptcy fraud, is currently being held at FCI Allenwood in Pennsylvania.
