Liotta proposed to his fiancée Jacy Nittolo in December 2020. Nittolo has four children of her own, and they actually played a role in setting them up. In a 2021 appearance on Live with Kelly and Ryan, Liotta explained that their children helped bring them together.
“Karsen, my daughter, met Jacy and said, ‘I want you to go out with my dad. I think you’d be perfect for my dad,'” he recounted. When Nittolo asked Liotta’s daughter what he did and she said he was an actor, Nittolo immediately shut the whole thing down, insisting she wanted nothing to do with an actor whatsoever.
Obviously, the two ended up hitting it off. They continued to date as an engaged couple through 2021 and early 2022.
In the aftermath of Liotta’s death, Nittolo shared a heartfelt sentiment in an Instagram post of the two together.
“My life these past couple of years have been nothing but truly magical,” she captioned the post. “Ray and I share a deep love that I will cherish in my heart forever. We laughed daily and we were inseparable. 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.”
“He was the most beautiful person inside and out that I’ve ever known… and even that is an understatement,” she concluded.
