Ray Liotta’s fiancée, Jacy Nittolo, has broken her silence on the actor’s death.
“My life these past couple of years have been nothing but truly magical,” Nittolo captioned a Saturday, May 28, Instagram slideshow of memories of the pair. “Ray and I share a deep love that I will cherish in my heart forever. We laughed daily and we were inseparable.”
She continued: “The chemistry was wild in the best way. He was everything in the world to me and we couldn’t get enough of each other. The kind of real love that one dreams of.”
The statement comes after Liotta died while working on a movie in the Dominican Republic. The actor’s publicist confirmed on Thursday, May 26, that he passed away in his sleep at the age of 67.
Ahead of his death, the Goodfellas actor was candid about his evolving family. Liotta was adopted when he was 6 months old by a couple from New Jersey. In 2014, the Hannibal star recalled what happened when he decided to track down his birth mother.
“I realized when I met her that she did it for very valid reasons and then realized that almost 99 percent of kids that are put up for adoption, it’s for the betterment of the kid,” he said during an interview with Larry King in September 2014. “The household, the situation, the age just dictate that’s the best thing to do for the child.”
Liotta later admitted that learning more about his biological family didn’t change the way he viewed his loved ones. “The reality is, in terms of ethnicity, I have no idea what I am. I found out a lot of things from meeting my birth mother, but it didn’t change anything,” he told The Guardian in September 2021. “I just relaxed into, ‘This is the way my life turned out.’”
