Patrizia Reggiani (also known as Patrizia Gucci) was born on December 2, 1948, making her 77 years old as of January 2026, having celebrated her birthday in late 2025.
Do They Still Keep in Touch With Their Mother? The short answer is, allegedly, no. Though the sisters were extremely close to their mother throughout childhood, over the years, their relationship has taken a turn for the worse. In a 2016 interview, Reggiani revealed that her daughters cut ties with her entirely.
While he falls out of love with Patrizia for being too brutal in business, he abandons her and their child to profit upon all of Patrizia's work at Gucci. Patrizia is exiled from the brand she was accused of being too invested in, only for the accuser to reap its rewards.
Once known as Italy's "Lady Gucci" in the 1970s and 1980s, today Reggiani lives in Milan with a pet cat and is often seen walking the streets of upscale neighborhoods with a parrot on her shoulder. She still maintains her innocence, but never speaks of her time in prison.
Gucci is owned by the French luxury conglomerate Kering, which also owns brands like Saint Laurent and Balenciaga, with the Pinault family's holding company, Groupe Artémis, being the largest shareholder in Kering. After significant family disputes, the Gucci family lost control in the early 1990s, leading to Kering (then PPR) acquiring full ownership, making Gucci a key part of its luxury portfolio.

After the tragic death, Franchi got involved in a charity for troubled teens called L'amico Charly. During the time, she also spent her days writing and painting. Her writing later led to an autobiography in 2010, titled L'amore strappato (meaning, Broken Love). Today, the interior designer and author is 67-years old.

At this year's Grammy Awards, she began to 'bleed' from clenched fists while performing her hit “vampire,” spreading fake blood across her arms and neck as the song progressed.
