In Joe's defense, he was married and clearly didn't want to answer that question on Howard Stern and was very uncomfortable having to do so. I think he was being as diplomatic as he could and saying that's how he felt about her currently. Imagine being married and deeply committed to someone and someone else you were with many years ago is telling the world that you're the love of their life. What do you say to that when you're put on the spot by Howard Stern? Other comments he's made have shown his deep respect and admiration for her. It's not always easy to talk about an ex and Joe's not necessarily one who wears his heart on his sleeve.
