Frank Sinatra was full of regrets in his final moments, his daughter shared, as she opened up about a rift between them as Tina Sinatra said he became “physically distant”.
Tina Sinatra, daughter of the legendary Frank Sinatra, revealed that her father experienced feelings of guilt in his final moments. At 75 years old, she shared insights into Sinatra’s regret over his separation from her mother, Nancy Barbato, who had to raise their older siblings, Frank Junior and Nancy, alone after he left the family home.
In a recent interview, Tina recounted her father’s struggle with “terrible guilt,” recalling how he expressed apologies during his last days. She reflected on a conversation she had with him near the end, where he expressed regret for the pain caused, particularly highlighting the impact on her as a young child.
Despite the passage of time, Sinatra remained remorseful, acknowledging the lasting effects of his actions. Tina shared that her father’s affectionate nickname for her was “Pigeon,” and she vividly remembers his poignant apology during his final moments, where he uttered the words, “I’m sorry, Pigeon.”
Tina was only seven months old when her father left the family home, and although they maintained regular contact, he remained emotionally distant. She also addressed a strained relationship with her father in his later years, particularly after his fourth marriage to Barbara Marx.
