Tina Sinatra: Frank had a vasectomy, couldnt be Ronan Farrows father
Back in 2013, Vanity Fair published a lengthy interview with Mia Farrow and some of her children. The VF story caused a stir for many different reasons, but let’s just focus on the part about Ronan Farrow’s paternity. Ronan apparently believed that Woody Allen was his biological father for much of his life. But! Mia told VF that at the time she conceived Ronan, she was not just sleeping with Woody, but she was also fooling around with her ex-husband Frank Sinatra. As in, Ol’ Blue Eyes could have been Ronan’s biological father.
Frank’s widow said it was a bunch of crap and Ronan barely talked about it beyond saying it was a “ridiculous situation.” It doesn’t seem like Ronan ever got a paternity test or anything, so we really don’t know. But now Roger Friedman of Showbiz 411 spoke to Frank’s daughter Tina Sinatra and Tina says that Frank could not have fathered any child at that point because Frank had a vasectomy. Huh.
Ronan Farrow isn’t Frank Sinatra’s son. Tina Sinatra laughed when I asked if Mia Farrow’s son Ronan (with Woody Allen) was her brother. Mia let that slip in November 2013 and the rumor caught fire.
“Couldn’t be,” Tina told me. “Frank had a vasectomy before that. I don’t know whose son Ronan is.”
Mia Farrow had been invited to the dinner but was a no-show. Tina added that Ronan looks “just like Mia’s late brother.”
I think Ronan does look a lot like the Farrow side of the family no matter what. I’ve always been doubtful of his alleged biological connection to Woody Allen because even with those strong Farrow genes, you would expect to see something of Woody Allen’s genes in there, but there’s nothing. Does it follow that Ronan is Frank Sinatra’s son, come hell or high water? Eh. There could be a mystery third potential baby-daddy in the mix too. Maybe Mia was banging her other ex-husband, André Previn? Why not?
