Natalie DiDonato, best known for appearing on Season 5 of the VH1 reality series Mob Wives, is reported missing after failing to board two flights recently, TMZ reports.
DiDonato's family contacted authorities in Philadelphia, where she was reported to have visited earlier this month, after she missed two flights back to her home in Florida, which resulted in a missing person's report being filed on Tuesday (January 21). The reality star's friend, Ben, initially expressed concerns on January 5 and her mother, Denise Fuoco, told TMZ that she last made contact with her daughter on a FaceTime call last week.
Fuoco said her daughter looked "nervous and distressed" and described their conversation as being "brief." DiDonato, 44, was reportedly "rushed off the phone" without revealing her location and it was unclear whether was alone, according to her mother.
Ben, who is believed to be the last person to speak to DiDonato prior to her disappearance, said DiDonato contacted him via WhatsApp and asked for money for a flight home four days prior to her reported disappearance, claiming to have been in Las Vegas at the time.
DiDonato hasn't been active on social media, having most recently shared a post in December 2024.
"Not bad for 44 đ„° I love me some me. 44 sitting on 24âs still. đ«đđđ (itâs not my bdayâŠIâm just feelin myself, dropped 10 lbsâŠhit that goal weight) đŻđȘ," she wrote at the time. "Getting older is a blessing, can't believe I made it this far. I'm embracing my age because to me it's a badge of honor to have made it to 44."
DiDonato is the cousin of late mobster Frank 'Frankie Flowers' D'Alfonso and appeared on Season 5 of Mob Wives: Trust No One in 2014, two years before the show's final season in 2016.
