ROME (Reuters) – Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced on Friday that she had separated from her partner, Andrea Giambruno, a television journalist, who has drawn criticism in recent weeks for sexist comments made to the ‘antenna.
“My relationship with Andrea Giambruno, which lasted almost 10 years, ends here,” Giorgia Meloni wrote on Facebook. “Our paths have diverged for some time, and the time has come to recognize it,” she added.
The couple have a little girl.
Andrea Giambruno is the presenter of a news program broadcast by Mediaset, part of the MFE media group owned by the heirs of the late Silvio Berlusconi, the former President of the Council and ally of Giorgia Meloni.
