Lorraine Bracco is opening up to the idea of finding love again at 70. In a recent interview, the Sopranos star shared that, although she is single, she remains hopeful that someone special will enter her life. However, she is not in a rush despite being optimistic about dating.
While Bracco hopes to find a loving partner soon, she has been married twice. Her first marriage was to French hairdresser Daniel Guerard, who she met while modeling in Paris. The couple married in 1979 after learning Bracco was pregnant with their daughter, Margaux. However, the relationship ended just a few years later.
Lorraine Bracco’s past relationships
Lorraine Bracco has shared that the most important qualities she wants in a partner are self-assurance and a great sense of humor. Although she has experienced her share of heartbreak, the actress remains optimistic about love and hopes her next chapter will be filled with joy and companionship.
Following her first divorce, Bracco began dating actor Harvey Keitel. Their relationship lasted over a decade, and they welcomed their daughter Stella. But it ended after Bracco admitted to falling in love with another man, actor Edward James Olmos. She married Olmos in 1994, though their relationship also ended in divorce. Bracco’s split from Keitel came with a brutal custody battle over Stella, which lasted several years and resulted in millions in legal fees. The emotional toll from the dispute pushed Bracco into a period of depression that she eventually addressed through therapy and medical support.
Career success
Lorraine Bracco joined The Sopranos in 1999, choosing to play the role of Dr. Melfi instead of Camela Soprano, the lead character. Her decision was a success, and she earned multiple award nominations, which brought her recognition in the industry. Still, Bracco admits that memories of The Sopranos and Goodfellas are bittersweet.
She often mourns the loss of her former co-stars, James Gandolfini and Ray Liotta. Recently, Bracco has stepped into comedy with her latest movie, Nonnas, which means ‘grandmother’ in Italian, alongside Vince Vaughn. In real life, the actress also enjoys being a grandmother to her daughter Margaux’s children.
