Antonia Lofaso's Life After The Loss Of Her Husband

It's close to impossible to put the feeling of the loss of a dear one into words. But their physical absence doesn't mean they have bid goodbye to us forever. We keep them alive with our remembrance, and it is believed that they have become our guardian angels who protect us from heaven. 

Similarly, the executive chef, Antonia Lofaso, believes she remains under the constant protection of her former husband, who sadly passed away many years ago.

So, without further ado, let's get in touch with the personal life of Antonia Losafo. 

Antonio Lofaso's Husband's Tragic Demise

Although being a busy chef doesn't offer enough personal time, Antonia Lofaso managed to keep a successful relationship with her husband, Heavy D. However, the timeline of their dating affair remains away from the media.

Even though the couple didn't marry, they did share a husband-wife bond. They also welcomed their baby girl in 2000 and named her Xea.

After getting blessed with their bundle of joy, they tried their best to manage their busy schedules to give her proper time. 

Unfortunately, in 2011, about a decade down the road, Antonia had to suffer the tragic loss of her husband, Heavy. Some sources state that the reason for his demise was his illness, as he was a victim of pulmonary embolism, but Antonia has not confirmed it.

It was really hard for Antonia to lose her husband but she didn't give up for the sake of her child.

The loving husband and father, Heavy D, will forever remain alive in their memories. Xea, who is currently 22 years, shared a picture via her Instagram remembering her late father.

However, the mother and daughter duo have a great relationship. In February 2017, she shared a photo with her girl on her Instagram.

Back in 2015, during an interview with Mom, when asked how she balances time between her work life and home life, Antonia asserted that she gives importance to the quality of the time and loves to spend it with her daughter on vacations. 

The only way that I find balance is the constant reminder that it isn’t the quantity of time but the quality of time. Spending four days in Mammoth with my daughter over Valentine’s Day weekend and snowboarding with her—it’s that kind of experience. As soon as we step into Los Angeles, I was like, "Gotta go!" But, when we were snowboarding it was like an excursion together and we have these hilarious fun stories to talk about, and we have us tumbling down a double black diamond that was totally caught on her GoPro. It’s like that, the quality of time spent together where the balance comes.

On her daughter's 21st birthday, the 45-year-old took to her Instagram to wish her a happy birthday. The post featured her all-grown-up girl's selfie flaunting her curls and a heartwarming caption that reads,

Light the world on fire baby girl...... happy 21st birthday XEA. I used to tell her when she was young that she was mine , every part of her I grew so therefore she was mine. XEA is hers and hers alone. The most confident and determined chicken little I’ve ever met. Command a room. Speak up. Listen above all. Love above all.

She further dropped a piece of amazing information. Turns out that Xea has an interest in music. Xena's song as a lyricist was dropped on February 25, 2020, called IDK.
