DiGiorgio and Gotti first met back in 1958 while both of them were hanging out in the same local bar. John was just a simple low-level mobster back then and didn't earn much, so, their initial days of marriage went by with a lot of struggle and hardships. Even more so, the duo had to face eviction issues almost every month.

Victoria and John Gotti Shares Five Children

The couple had three sons, John Gotti jr., Frank Gotti, Peter Gotti, and two daughters, Angel and Victoria Gotti.

Born in 1961, Angel Gotti is the eldest among the five siblings. As a matter of fact, she was born before her parents married. In 2014, Angel launched a Footwear company of flip flops under her own name, which did not last very long.

Victoria Gotti is the family’s second-born. She married Carmine Agnello on December 9, 1984, which ended in the year 2002.

She is a writer and has published numerous books throughout her career. The writer has three sons, Carmine Gotti Agnello, Frank Gotti Agnello, John Gotti Agnello.

John Gotti Jr. is the eldest son of the family. So naturally, he succeeded his father as the head of the Gambino family after his father went to prison. It was only later that his mother discovered her son's involvement in the mafia.

Peter Gotti Jr. is her youngest son. Peter avoids public appearances and is secretive about his life.

Frank Gotti was her fourth son. Tragically, Frank passed away in a car accident when he was only 12-years-old. Reports claim while Frank was driving his minibike, a man named John Favara, accidentally hit his minibike.

Frank's sister alleged Favara was drunk and showed no remorse to the crime he committed, however, the driver reported to the police that the kid came out of a sun-glazed blindspot. The court then announced it as an accident and released Favara.

After Frank's death, Favara started receiving frequent threat calls which he ignored. Five months after the incident, he was abducted on his way from work. Witnesses reported that he was strangled and shot on the leg before getting picked off from the parking lot on a van.

A series of investigations was put forward after he went missing. Some sources stated that John Gotti has dismembered his body with a chainsaw and dissolved the remains into acid. Although the public accused John Gotti of ordering the hit, no arrests were made.

Victoria Suffered From Strokes

The wife of the deceased mob-boss rarely makes any public appearances. Nevertheless, Victoria attracted some media attention in 2013 when the news of her stroke surfaced.

At the time, her family denied all the details about the situation and requested privacy.
