Nicolo Robert Tucci is actor Stanley Tucci’s eldest son, born alongside his twin sister from his dad’s first marriage. Since he was young, Nicolo’s father shielded him and his siblings from the limelight. Now he’s grown up and ready to face it on his own.
Nicolo Robert Tucci was born to loving parents. Unfortunately, he lost his mother at a young age, but his dad, Stanley Tucci, remembered her fondly, wishing Nicolo and his sisters had more time to know her as well as he did.
Although Stanley guards his personal life against prying eyes, especially his children, he has shared glimpses of his family dynamic from time to time. Little information is available about Nicolo, but as he joins the film industry, the world will likely get to know him more.

Nicolo Robert Is One of Tucci’s Twins
Nicolo Robert Tucci drew his first breath after his twin sister Isabel Concetta in January 2000. He was born to Stanley and Kate Tucci. Nicolo inherited his dad’s Italian roots and Calabrian ancestry; his mother is a San Fransico native.
According to Closer Weekly, Nicolo’s mother juggled different jobs, including being a social worker, philanthropist, and TV producer for shows like “Full Circle” and “American Idol.” Before meeting his dad, Kate was previously married to Alexander R. Scott.
The pair had two children but separated in 1994. Nicolo’s older half-siblings remain unidentified to the public, and it’s unknown if he has a relationship with them. Even though his dad talks about him and his siblings, the actor hasn’t mentioned his ex-wife’s other children.

Kate then moved on to Stanley, and the pair tied the knot on April 18, 1995. Throughout their union, they welcomed Nicolo, his twin, and their younger sibling, Camilla. After he was born, Nicolo moved with his parents and sister to New York City, where the family mainly resided.
His Mother’s Death & Familial Problems in His Early Childhood
Nicolo Robert Tucci witnessed his parents’ separation when he was only a toddler. In 2002, his dad abandoned the family when he developed romantic feelings for his colleague and actress, Edie Falco. The affair began after the actors co-starred in a nude scene for the Broadway show “Frankie and Johnny.”
Stanley Tucci made no formal announcement about leaving his wife and kids, but when he frequently appeared with Edie in public or on the red carpet, it was apparent that he and his wife were no longer together. Still, the romance was short-lived, and the pair separated.

Stanley Tucci returned to his family afterward, but more turmoil awaited in the following years. Nicolo’s mother, Kate, received a breast cancer diagnosis in 2006. After a three-year battle with the sickness, she sadly passed on at age 47 in 2009. Nicolo was only nine years old.
Eight years after his ex-wife’s death, Stanley sat down with The Guardian in 2016 and opened up about his grief. The actor was apologetic as he felt he could have done more to save Kate. Stanley wished he had been by her side when she took her last breath but feared the devastation would have been paralyzing.
Nicolo Robert Tucci Appeared in a TV Series
Nicolo Tucci made his acting debut in the mini-TV series “MotherFatherSon.” Starring alongside Richard Gere, who plays Max Finch, and Billy Howle, who plays Caden Finch, the series explores systems of power in the media, politics, and police.
Nicolo brought to life the role of the adolescent Max Finch; however, this is the only known part in which the young actor has appeared. He still lives a private life and currently has no social media pages. Nicolo also makes no appearances on his father’s socials.
Nicolo Robert Tucci Is on Good Terms with His Father
Nicolo and his dad, Stanley Tucci – who also battled cancer – seem to maintain a strong and healthy relationship. Last year in July, the pair was spotted enjoying a stroll in the streets of West Sussex.
During the height of the pandemic in 2020, Stanley had a chaotic quarantine with his five children, Nicolo and Isabel, 22, Camilla, 20, and his two youngest kids from his current marriage to Felicity Blunt, Matteo, 7, and Emilia, 4. The last addition to their home during quarantine was the girlfriend of one of Stanley’s eldest kids.
