Finally some good news for imprisoned "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giudice.

The Bureau of Prisons records indicate that Giudice will be released from the Danbury Federal Correction Institute in Danbury, Conn. earlier than her original 15-month prison sentence, which she began on Monday.

The reality star, who was convicted with her husband of mail, wire and bankruptcy fraud in a New Jersey federal court on Oct. 2, is expected to be freed on Feb. 5 in 2016, as opposed to April 5.

Her husband, Joe, is set to begin his 41-month sentence immediately after she is released. The agreement to serve their time seperately allows them to take care of their four daughters.

Giudice's reps did not immediately respond to TheWrap's request for comment.
