  • by

Frankie Valli is an 86 years old American legendary singer and lead vocalist. He is famous for being the frontman for the ‘Four Seasons Band, an internationally recognized pop and rock band. Frankie is widely known for his unique ‘falsetto voice’; powerful tenor voice.

In this article, we will not dwell on his successful music career but shift focus to his personal life. Frankie has been married three times, but that is just a tip of the iceberg, we will get into details of these failed marriages and get you facts about them. You will also get to know about his children and other family members.

Frankie Valli’s Spouse.

First Wife Mary Mandel Valli.

Frankie married his first wife, Mary Mandel, when he was 23 years old. They were in the same age set with his wife, who came to the marriage with a toddler, a two-month baby girl named Celia, who Frankie took in as his own.

Mary bore him two more daughters, Antonia and Francine. In 1971, that was 18 years later, and the couple decided to terminate their marriage prematurely. Mary did not get married after her divorce, but Frankie once again retied the loosened knot by marrying the second wife.

Second Wife MaryAnn Hanning.

After three years of being a single singing father, Frankie met another lady to settle down. Interestingly, her first name was slightly modified but very similar to that of his first wife. Her name was Maryann Hanning.

Frankie Valli and MaryAnn Hanning got married in 1974 and stayed together for eight years before divorcing in 1982. This is the shortest of all his marriages.

Also, it is the only marriage that did not bear any child. It is not clear if MaryAnn got married again. According to her LinkedIn profile, she has been involved in youth development for many years, having been the ‘Teen Director’ for ‘Boys and Girls Clubs of Yellowstone County’ since 2013. Other than that, there is no personal information about her.

Frankie Valli’s Third and Last Spouse Randy Clohessy.

From 1982, Frankie took another two-year break before giving it one more try. According to a scientific study, a person can fall in love with a maximum of three individuals, and this can only occur at different times.

We can argue that Frankie is a perfect example; his marriage was with a lady named Randy Clohessy that took place in 1984. This marriage lasted for 22 years, the longest of all, and they were blessed with three boys, Francesco and twin brothers, Emilio and Brando.

Frankie’s last divorce did not go as smoothly as the previous ones, matters rose, and it took the jury to give the final word. Randy claimed life insurance worth 3.75 million Frankie took in her name when she got terminally ill in 2013, before the divorce.

However, the Supreme Court had to overturn a ruling made earlier by a lower court in favor of Randy. The Supreme Court ruled that the money belongs to the California community, and not any of the two. Being a philanthropist, Frankie accepted the ruling, but his former wife was not pleased.

Children.

Francine Valli.

Francine was passionate about music, just like his father. However, death cut short her promising journey. She did a few songs which are available in the internet. Francine died on 6th August 1980, at the age of twenty, from a drug overdose. It was claimed that Frankie Valli’s daughter Francine committed suicide, but the family said those are a hoax. She overused a drug called Quaaludes, a sedative and wrong prescription for hypnotic.

Celia Valli.

Celia was the adopted daughter Frankie took in in his first marriage. Celia’s life was cut short when she was very young. The same year that Francine died within six months.

Emilio Valli.

Emilio is a real estate agent and has also had a successful film career. After his parent’s divorce, they were left with a house that required some real estate management skills, and he stepped in and filled those shoes; that was the start of his interest in the real estate business.
