How many children did Frank Sinatra have?

Singer and actor Frank Sinatra had three children with his first wife, Nancy (née Barbato), to whom he was married from 1939 to 1951. Their first child, Nancy Sinatra, was born in 1940; she became a successful actress and singer. The couple’s second child, Franklin Wayne Sinatra, was born in 1944. Known as Frank, Jr., he also became a singer and survived being kidnapped in 1963 when he was 19. Their third child, Christina (Tina) Sinatra, was born in 1948; she became an actress and producer.

Sinatra was married three more times, including to actress Mia Farrow from 1966 to 1968, but he had no more children. However, rumors persist that he fathered Farrow’s son Ronan Farrow (an award-winning journalist who was born in 1987) while Sinatra was married to Barbara Blakely Marx and Farrow was in a long-term relationship with Woody Allen. This claim has been disputed by Farrow and Sinatra family members and friends.
