You've seen the breakups and makeovers of Tony and Carmela Soprano. But when it comes to romantic fury, the TV mafia couple has nothing in common with Joe and Nancy DeFede. Defedes is the real deal. For four years, Joe served as acting boss of the Lucchese crime family until 1998, when he pleaded guilty to the destruction of a clothing business.
Living in close quarters under assumed names in a state far from Howard Beach was the kiss of death for their romance. “I’ve had enough,” Nancy tells us. "This is not life." Their looming split isn't stopping them from working together on what could be the first memoir about a mob marriage.
