Though the missing jewelry could indicate that Teresa and Joe’s time together is nearing the end, the Bravo star previously argued that the rock hadno bearing on the state of her marriage to husband.

“Who cares? Who cares if I wear my rings or I don’t?” Teresa told Cohen during aRHONJreunion at the end of February, adding that Joe wasn’t concerned with the item either. “Joe never wore rings!”

However, Teresa also has said that moving to Italy with the four daughters she shares with Joe — Gia, 18, Gabriella, 15, Milania, 13, and Audriana, 10 — just isn’t in the cards.

“Unless my kids say, ‘Mommy, we want to move to Italy,’ [we] are not going,” Teresa revealed during theRHONJreunion. “Gia’s going to college next year; I haven’t spoken to Milania or Audriana about it, we haven’t gotten there yet; and Gabriella already voiced her opinion to me. She was like, ‘That would be so hard for me, Mommy.’ She doesn’t speak the language. She’s like, ‘That would kill me even more.’”

“It’s like starting a whole new life,” Teresa added. “And they’ve been through so much already.”

That support has appeared to cross over to Joe’s deportation ruling, which came in October. Even though Joe has lived in the United States since he was a child, henever obtained American citizenship, and immigrants can be deported if they are convicted of “a crime of moral turpitude” or an “aggravated felony,” according to U.S. law.

While Joe’s attorneysappealed his deportation ruling in November, they are still awaiting a decision.

“I hope I don’t have to cross that bridge,” Teresa told Cohen of Joe’s future, during a previous installment of theRHONJreunion. “[The lawyers] are trying their best.”

Asked if Joe will have to go directly from the facility he’s in right now to an airplane, Teresa — who said she sees Joe about “once a month” — admitted she “[didn’t] know exactly the technicalities of it.”

She also gave some insight into Joe’s mental state, revealing to the host that her husband feels guilt over the possibly of leaving his family behind. “He has tremendous guilt, but he’s very positive, very strong,” she said.

Meanwhile, rumors have been swirling that Teresa is romantically involved with Blake Schreck, a realtor who is 20 years her junior. Speculation of a potential romance first sparked after photos of them holding hands in Miami were published last week.

Attorney Leonard Jr. has denied the affair to PEOPLE, sayingthe two were just friends and that their interactions were brief and completely amicable.

“There is no cheating, no divorce,” the attorney said. “End of story.”

Teresa’s sister-in-law and fellow HousewifeMelissa Gorgahas also said it’s not true, stressing onWatch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, “I know nothing about it, andif it were true, I’d know something.”
