He Married at a Young Age

Al Capone’s life took a different turn when he met Mae Josephine Coughlin, an Irish teenager, on the streets of New York. Despite his scarred face and a questionable past, Mae fell deeply in love with him. Their love quickly bore fruit as they welcomed their son, Sonny Capone, into the world while still in their teen years.

With the blessings of their parents, Capone and Coughlin married just three weeks after Sonny’s birth. Mae saw Capone as a loving husband and dedicated father, working hard to provide for their family. Little did she know, Capone was a notorious womanizer, constantly unfaithful to her during his “business” trips.
