Liotta is survived by his 23-year-old daughter, Karsen, whom he shared with his ex-wife, Michelle Grace.
Ray Liotta’s fiancée Jacy Nittolo is speaking out for the first time since the actor’s sudden death. Liotta was in the Dominican Republic filming a new movie titled Dangerous Waters when he died in his sleep. Nittolo, 47, was with him, according to Page Six.
Nittolo had been engaged since 2020 to the Goodfellas star, who died at the age of 67. Though more details have not been revealed, TMZ reported that no one suspects any foul play.
In a moving tribute shared on Instagram on May 28, 2022, Nittolo remembered their “deep love.” She also shared a handful of photos of the couple exchanging kisses with each other and loved ones.
“My life these past couple of years have been nothing but truly magical," she wrote in the caption. “Ray and I share a deep love that I will cherish in my heart forever.” She then went on to describe herself and Liotta as an “inseparable” duo who “laughed daily” and shared chemistry that was “wild in the best way.”

“He was everything in the world to me and we couldn’t get enough of each other,” she added. "The kind of real love that one dreams of.” In concluding her post, Nittolo wrote, “He was the most beautiful person inside and out that I’ve ever known … and even that is an understatement.”
Liotta and Nittolo got engaged around Christmas 2020 and announced the news on social media. “Christmas wishes do come true. I asked the love of my life to marry me, and thank God she said yes!!!” he captioned a photo at the time, which featured Nittolo showing off her engagement ring.
Just two days before his sudden death, Liotta and Nittolo dined at Naca’n Restaurant, an upscale steakhouse, according to Page Six. “We were fortunate to host Ray for dinner on Tuesday night,” the restaurant’s Instagram account posted after the sad news broke. “He was a special person and talented actor that will be missed – your friends at Naca’n will remember you fondly – 🖤 #RestinPeace.”
Naca’n shared a photo of the couple at the establishment after they dined.
“Mr. Ray Liotta joined us for dinner with friends,” the caption read. “We had a nice chat about the history of our building and our business. Very friendly and generous gentleman. #Nacan #NacanLikes #FineDining #goodfellas.”
Liotta is survived by his 23-year-old daughter, Karsen, whom he shared with his ex-wife, Michelle Grace.
