Personal life

In 1984, Carmine Agnello married Victoria despite her parents' disapproval. The couple had three sons, Carmine, John, and Frank. The family lived in a mansion in Old Westbury, New York, which was the filming location in 2004 for the reality television series Growing Up Gotti.

In 2003, while Agnello was in jail, Victoria Gotti divorced him on the grounds of constructive abandonment.

In May 2009, foreclosure was approved on the $3.2 million mansion that Gotti was awarded as part of her divorce from Carmine Agnello.
