The pair have been living their best lives since Sorrentino’s prison release. They have shared plenty of photos and videos of themselves enjoying lavish dinners and meals recently. Mike was released from the Otisville Federal Correctional Institution in Otisville, New York on Thursday, Sept. 12.
“We are elated to finally close this chapter of our life. Thank you to our family, friends and fans for the continuous love and support during this time, it brought us so much peace and comfort,” Mike and Lauren said in a statement at the time. “We look forward to continuing our life as husband and wife and working on baby situations!”

Mike pleaded guilty to one count of tax evasion in January 2018, and Marc pled guilty to one count of aiding in the preparation of a false and fraudulent tax return. In October 2018, Mike was sentenced to eight months in prison and two years of supervised release. Marc was sentenced to two years.
The reality star was also ordered to complete 500 hours of community service and was given $123,913 in restitution, which he had already paid, plus a fine of $10,000.
