It’s later revealed that her father is gay and has to leave New Jersey, leaving Francesca, her mother, and her brother behind. Just before he leaves, he kisses her and her brother goodbye while they’re asleep. (“Live Free or Die”)

Francesca and Vito Jr. are being teased about their father being bisexual at Phil’s grandson’s confirmation party. (“Luxury Lounge”)

After her father returns from New Hampshire, Francesca and her family eat lunch at Rockefeller Center, and after that, she and Vito Jr. go ice skating. Francesca and Vito Jr. learn about their father’s murder in the newspaper, and they are very devastated. (“Cold Stones”)

On Christmas in 2005 when her father was still alive, Francesca did a beautiful solo of ”Oh Holy Night” with him accompanying her on the piano at Patty Leotardo’s mother’s house. Patty mentioned this and wonders how the Spatafore’s Christmas is without Vito. ("Kaisha")[2]

  1. It’s mentioned in the episode Cold Stones that Vito has a son 13, and a daughter 9. This episode takes place in November 2006, which means Francesca had to have been born in 1997, so she turns 10 sometime in 2007. Tony mentioned that she still 9 years old in Chasing It and that episode takes place in 2007, so she was probably almost 10, so she may have born in autumn of 1997.
