I didn't even know. He's like, 'We're coming out there. I would like for us to all have dinner.'" "We went out to the Bahamas because Joe is living six months in the Bahamas and six months in Italy," she continued. "So we had dinner with him and it went really well. Joe thinks Louie's a great guy."
