Mae’s Heartbreak and Confession to Their Son
Mae and Sonny Capone often found themselves isolated at home while Al immersed himself in objectifying women, eliminating rivals and business adversaries, and indulging in his extravagant lifestyle. They rarely glimpsed the darker side of Capone’s world. Regrettably, Capone excelled in many aspects of life but faltered in resisting the temptation of other women.
Mae reached a breaking point, eventually confessing to her son the profound heartache Al had caused her, urging him never to follow in his father’s footsteps and break a woman’s heart. At just 28 years old, Mae’s hair had turned entirely gray, a testament to her anguish as Capone’s wife. “Don’t do what your father did. He broke my heart,” she implored, sharing the painful lessons of her tumultuous marriage.
