“Mob Wives” Star Natalie DiDonato Reported Missing After Missing Flights

LAS VEGAS, Nev. — Natalie DiDonato, a reality TV star best known for her appearance on season five of “Mob Wives,” has been reported missing after failing to board two separate flights home, according to law enforcement and family members.

A missing-persons report was filed Tuesday morning in Las Vegas after DiDonato, 44, missed a January 5 flight to Florida and a subsequent flight arranged by a friend. Her family expressed growing concern over her sudden disappearance and unusual behavior in recent weeks.

DiDonato’s mother, Denise Fuoco, told TMZ she last spoke to her daughter seven days ago during a brief FaceTime call. Fuoco described DiDonato as appearing “nervous and distressed” during the conversation. “She rushed off the phone and didn’t say where she was,” Fuoco said. “She just told me she had to go.”

Fuoco added that she attempted to contact DiDonato on both of her cell phones but was unable to reach her. Over the following days, repeated attempts to connect with her daughter failed, prompting Fuoco to contact police in Philadelphia, where DiDonato had reportedly visited earlier this month.

According to Fuoco, the last update came from one of DiDonato’s friends, identified only as Ben. Ben allegedly informed Fuoco on Monday that DiDonato had reached out to him from Las Vegas, asking for help to return to Florida. Ben claimed DiDonato contacted him four days earlier on WhatsApp, sounding “distressed” and requesting money for a flight.

Ben reportedly purchased a ticket for DiDonato, but she never boarded the flight to Florida. He is believed to be the last person to have spoken with her and filed the missing-person report in Las Vegas.

Fuoco expressed deep concern over her daughter’s well-being, stating that DiDonato had been “distant” and “not right” for the past month. “I’m sick over this,” Fuoco said. “I can’t sleep. I don’t know what’s going on with her.”

DiDonato’s last Instagram post, dated December 2024, showed her reflecting on turning 44. She wrote, “Not bad for 44. I love me some me. 44 sitting on 24’s still… 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.”

Authorities in Las Vegas are actively investigating the case, and no further details about DiDonato’s whereabouts have been released.
