'Miss him every second': Ray Liotta’s fiancee Jacy Nittolo BREAKS SILENCE after his death
Jacy Nittolo is still mourning the passing of her fiancé Ray Liotta at the age of 67. On Thursday, June 23, the 47-year-old posted on Instagram about the late 'Goodfellas' actor, who died on May 26 while filming in the Dominican Republic, saying, "I miss him every second of every day.”
Nittolo and Liotta got a second shot at love after their separate divorces. In 2020, just after Liotta had featured in the universally praised film 'Marriage Story', the actor and the California resident first made their relationship public. The duo made their red carpet debut at the Film Independent Spirit Awards in February of that year, when the Noah Baumbach-directed movie was up for numerous awards. Nittolo further said on Instagram, “Our lives right now are so fragile yet we are each holding each other up. It’s as if we are one big blended family that was predestined beyond our wildest imaginations.”

“Through such deep pain I find so much love and laughter,” Nittolo continued in her post, which included multiple images of the actor from 'Something Wild' and herself during the course of their relationship. “Our lives right now are so fragile yet we are each holding each other up. It’s as if we are one big blended family that was predestined beyond our wildest imaginations.” Spending time with her kids and Liotta's daughter, Karsen, whom he shares with ex-wife Michelle Grace, gave the former hairdresser a "hint of some light," she continued. She added, “There are no words to properly describe what one goes through with this type of unexpected loss. I miss him every second of every day.”
Nittolo’s heartbreaking social media post comes two weeks after Karsen's emotional tribute to her father. “Those who knew him, loved him. You are the best Dad anyone could ask for. I love you. Thank you for everything ❤️,” the 23-year-old wrote alongside a childhood photo shared via Instagram. The sweet snap showed the 'Place Beyond the Pines' actor holding his little girl close to his chest as she wrapped her arm around his neck.
Liotta announced his engagement to Nittolo in December 2020. “Christmas wishes do come true,” he expressed via Instagram. “I asked the love of my life to marry me, and thank God she said yes!!!”
Liotta's demise is still under investigation for an official cause of death. The late actor's native Newark, New Jersey, is preparing to pay tribute to his life in a huge way, despite the fact that many people are still in profound sadness over his untimely demise. Union Township Mayor Manuel Figueiredo stated there are plans to commemorate Liotta. His family has not yet made a final choice because they are still in mourning.
