Francesco Stephen Castelluccio, who goes by the stage name Frankie Valli, is beloved for his signature falsetto voice and hits like “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,” “The Proud One,” and more with his Four Seasons bandmates.
Outside of music, Frankie is a family man and the father of six children—Celia, Antonia, Francine, Francesco, Emilio, and Brando. The singer, who recently turned 90, has been married four times to Mary Mandel, Mary Ann Hannigan, Randy Clohessy, and Jackie Jacobs, whom he married last June. Meet Frankie’s kids from his first and third wives.
Celia Sabin Valli
Celia was born to Mandel in 1954. However, Frankie adopted her when they got married in 1957. He was a dedicated stepfather to Celia for over two decades until her tragic death from an accident in 1980. Long after losing her, Frankie remained traumatized by the unfortunate incident, as he noted in 2013 that losing a child was not something to get over.

Antonia Valli
Frankie also had his first biological daughter with Mandel. His second child, Anthonia, married Four Seasons band member Gerry Polci against his will. He later gave his blessings to their marriage, which produced two kids, Olivia and Dario, before the couple’s divorce.
Francine Valli
Frankie lost his second biological daughter, Francine, just six months after her older sister, Celia, died. Celia was only 20 when she passed away from an accidental drug overdose in August 1980. She was a promising singer with a budding music career with a voice that Frankie considered “wonderful.”
Francesco Valli Jr.
Frankie moved on to his third wife, Randy, with whom he had three sons, the first being Francesco. The 36-year-old ventured into acting with roles in the Full House series, The House Bunny, and Reach Me. Recent reports reveal that Francesco is “addicted to opiates” and is isolated from the rest of his family.
Emilio and Brando Valli
Frankie’s youngest sons grew up close to him, often appearing on his tours and observing their famous dad perform. They both play musical instruments, including the drums and guitar and have forged their careers in music and film so far. Brando has released two singles, “Imagine” and “Numb With U,” while Emilio has worked on movies like Ray Donovan and Agent Carter.
