Italian Premier Meloni Announces Split From Partner

Meloni announces split from partner amid lewd remarks scandal

Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni announced separation from her partner, an on-air television personality, Andrea Giambruno, and the father of her young daughter, marking the end of their nearly decade-long relationship.
The split follows a scandal where Giambruno was caught on audio making lewd remarks to colleagues, which led to widespread criticism.
Meloni, who was raised by a single mother after her father abandoned the family, and Giambruno share a 7-year-old daughter, Ginevra.
Meloni praised Giambruno for being a 'fantastic' and very present father in her 2021 memoir 'I am Giorgia', highlighting that he complemented her in caring for their daughter despite being messier than she.
Meloni's separation from Giambruno has added a new dimension to the Italian political landscape, considering that her party's junior partner is Forza Italia party, founded by the late Silvio Berlusconi whose television company Mediaset exposed Giambruno's lewd comments.
