Joe popped up in the comments and said, "Hot mamma looking good babe," followed by three heart emojis, a thumbs up, and a rose.

Later he commented again, writing, "Cougars" with fire and heart emojis.

"Continue working on you. Let her go. Of she doesn't run after you, she's simply not worth it," one fan replied to Joe.

"Don’t ever give up. I’m praying for you guys!!" another said.

"Don’t listen to these trolls. U guys been through hell. I hope and pray ur happy if not with each other then apart. Love u guys," a fourth fan wrote.

In a second Teresa Instagram post showing off her new hair for the new year, Joe commented, "Are you getting younger??"

A judge ruled that Joe, who never became an American citizen, had to be deported back to his native Italy after serving 41 months in prison. He is currently in immigrations custody while he awaits a ruling on his appeal of the decision.

In December, the couple decided to separate, but not official divorce.

"They discussed their future when Teresa and the girls went to Italy in early November and they agreed that each had to move on. They are doing so amicably and very slowly," a source close to the family told PEOPLE last month.

"Joe has been out on a few dates, Teresa has not. She has been too busy with the girls, with work obligations and taking care of her father. She is happy for Joe . They have been very friendly with one another and are very supportive of each other's happiness. They still love one another, but as Teresa told Andy Cohen on the [Watch What Happens Live] special, they are separated by the Atlantic Ocean. Neither is interested in a long distance relationship."
