The Italian socialite depicted in the Ridley Scott Hollywood drama is reportedly estranged from daughters Alessandra and Allegra Gucci, both based in Switzerland

Reggiani once worked for jewellery firm Bozart, enjoyed perks in prison thanks to her powerful status and was released after 18 years for good behaviour

The House of Gucci puts the spotlight on the members of the Gucci family and their power struggle to control the Italian fashion brand, but the true star of the biopic crime drama is no other than Patrizia Reggiani, played by the talented Lady Gaga, whose ambition and descent into madness led to the murder of her ex-husband, Maurizio Gucci.

If you’ve watched the drama, you might be curious about what happened to Reggiani after she was found guilty of hiring a hitman to kill her ex-husband. So where is she now, what has she been up to, and what does her life look like?

Her sentence was reduced

In 1997, Reggiani was sentenced to 29 years in prison, but that was reduced to 26 in 2000. That same year, she attempted suicide but was found by security guards, according to CNN. She was then eligible for parole, which required her to find a job, but the socialite turned it down in 2011 because the idea of working horrified her. “I’ve never worked in my life and I don’t intend to start now,” she told her lawyer, according to The Guardian.

Now 72, she was released in 2016 due to good behaviour after serving 18 years.

She was employed as a consultant at a jewellery firm
