John Gotti Agnello Is Now a Dad of 2 - Life of Victoria Gotti’s Son
After growing up in front of the camera, John Gotti Agnello is now a proud father and husband who enjoys a private life away from the public eye. However, the grandson of a famous mobster joked he might make a return to the small screen.
John became a well-known face after he had his daily life chronicled in his family reality TV show, "Growing up Gotti." The TV series also followed the personal lives of his mother, Victoria, and his two brothers, Carmine and Frank.
However, the TV show was canceled in 2004 following two seasons on the air, and John took a step back from the spotlight. John has since gotten hitched and welcomed two children. And he often takes to social media to document his most significant role– being a father.
John Gotti Agnello's Mega Wedding Raked in $2.5 Million in Gifts
In 2015, John had a wedding ceremony like a scene from "The God Father." The guest list of around 500 people was reportedly asked to leave their wedding gifts– of nothing less than $ 5 000– at the door before entering the venue.
Then, they were welcomed into a lavish celebration at the Oheka Castle on Long Island. John and his wife, Alina's wedding allegedly began at 5 p.m. on a Friday and lasted until 1 p.m. on a Saturday.
The wedding included multi-course meals for dinner and breakfast and operated much like Vanity Fair's annual Oscar party, with guests coming and going in intervals.
His mother sent the happy couple well-wishes via Twitter and shared a picture of John and Alina from their big day in a dimly lit room. Alina wore a figure-hugging mermaid dress and veil, while John wore a classic black two-piece suit and opted for a bow over a tie.
In 2020, John celebrated his fifth anniversary and took to social media to share a sweet message with his wife. The newlyweds were the only ones in the shot he posted, and in the caption, John wrote:
"There is no one else I would rather share this journey with. Happy 5-year anniversary and to forever more."
John Gotti Agnello Said Becoming a Father Is His Greatest Accomplishment
John became a first-time dad in 2016 when he and his wife welcomed their son Johnny, whom they named after him. Before John shared pictures of his son from the day he was born, he posted snaps of the expecting parents in the hospital.
Johnny was born on November 25, and his first photos featured the newborn in a stripped blanket and hat. Since his son's birth, John regularly took to Instagram to share pictures of his son.
From age milestones like celebrating Johnny turning two months to birthday cards to trips to see Santa, John documented his son's growth, who he dubbed his "mini-me" and "best friend."
On January 31, 2022, Alina gave birth to their second son, Michael. After becoming a proud father to two boys, John took to Instagram and said:
"My greatest role is being the best father to my boys."
John Gotti Agnello Hasn't Forgotten "Growing up Gotti" as He Joked a New Season Is Coming Up
In January 2021, John teased fans that there would be a fourth season of "Growing up Gotti" after he posted a photoshopped picture of himself and his brothers when they were younger and his son.
Although the show has not returned for an additional season, the Gotti Agnello brothers proved they still share a close bond when they were present to celebrate John's birthday in May.
His birthday is also the same month as Mother's Day, and John made sure he wished his mother a happy Mother's Day in 2021 and 2022, followed by heartfelt captions. In November 2020, John also celebrated his mother's birthday.
While it's unclear what John does for work now that he is no longer in the entertainment industry, he has shown an interest in fitness following a winter-to-summer body transformation.
In 2016 and 2017, John praised his friend and sister-in-law, who, like Arnold Schwarzenegger, competed in muscle-building competitions and showed off their impressive physiques.
