8. Long History
Teresa and Joe were friends for a long time before they got married. In fact they knew each other even before they started dating. Teresa has talked about her past with Joe briefly on the show, usually to reinforce that she’s known Joe her whole life. They met when they were only 16-years-old so they kind of grew up together. “I’ve known him my whole life. Our parents were friends and so we’ve known each other our whole lives. Our first date was when I was 17. I would say when I started driving, that’s when our first date was. We didn’t start [seriously] dating until I was 23,” said Teresa.
