Every Time Tony Soprano Cheated on Carmela, in Order

Tony Soprano’s infidelities are a recurring thread throughout The Sopranos, and the series makes clear that having a goomah was common in the mob. Carmela enjoyed the comforts of being a mob wife but was repeatedly hurt by Tony’s affairs, which ranged from brief flings to longer, complicated relationships.

Some liaisons predate the series: Charmaine Bucco reveals she and Tony slept together in high school, a detail that underlines his long-standing wandering eye. Lorraine “Lady Shylock,” a loan shark tied to the Lupertazzi family, also slept with Tony before the show begins; when she later refuses to kick up payments to Johnny Sack, Phil Leotardo sends men after her, and Tony treats their reunion as little more than a onetime encounter.

On screen, Tony’s longest and messiest entanglement is with Irina Peltsin, a relationship that alternates between tenderness and toxicity over several seasons; Irina even alerts Carmela when she learns of Tony’s other affairs.
