Italy's Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, has announced the end of her nearly ten-year relationship with Andrea Giambruno, a television journalist known for making controversial and inappropriate comments. Meloni expressed gratitude for the years they spent together and for their daughter, Ginevra, whom she referred to as the most important part of her life. The couple's paths had diverged over time, leading to this decision.
Meloni, who assumed office in October 2022, was raised by a single mother and had a strained relationship with her father. She first met Giambruno in a Mediaset studio, and their relationship began after a day of political rallies. Giambruno humorously recounted their initial encounter, when Meloni, exhausted from campaigning, mistook him for her assistant.
Giambruno has faced controversy for several lewd comments he made on various occasions, including comments about a female colleague and a statement about women avoiding getting drunk to prevent rape. Meloni had previously defended him, claiming that his words were misunderstood and drawing a parallel to her mother's advice to remain vigilant.
The announcement comes amid growing attention to Giambruno's behavior and remarks, raising questions about the impact on Meloni's political career and personal life.
