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.

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.
