The trip marked Milania and Gia's first in-person reunion with their dad in almost a year.

Although Joe wasn’t able to spend time with all his children during the overseas trip, he made sure to extend a loving message to all four of his daughters.

“Forever my babies love them so much,” he wrote on Friday alongside a throwback photo that showed the proud dad posing with his girls. “Best daughters.”

He also went on to post a video from a recent workout with Milania. “This kid’s my little rock,” he said in the clip.

Shortly before his daughters were able to make the trip overseas, Joe opened up about how much he was looking forward to the reunion.

"I'm excited," he told E! News. "It would be nice if all four came, but the little one's got dance and Gabriella is very on top of her game, she doesn't like to miss anything. Which is understandable."

"We want to set something up for Christmas, we're talking maybe meeting at an island," he added. "Hopefully everything opens up."
