Italian PM Giorgia Meloni splits from partner after his sexist TV comments
Rome, October 20
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said on Friday she had separated from her television journalist partner Andrea Giambruno, who has drawn criticism in recent weeks for sexist comments made on air.
“My relationship with Andrea Giambruno, which lasted almost 10 years, ends here,” Meloni wrote on Facebook. “Our paths have diverged for some time, and the time has come to acknowledge it,” she added.
La mia relazione con Andrea Giambruno, durata quasi dieci anni, finisce qui. Lo ringrazio per gli anni splendidi che abbiamo trascorso insieme, per le difficoltà che abbiamo attraversato, e per avermi regalato la cosa più importante della mia vita, che è nostra figlia Ginevra.… pic.twitter.com/1IpvfN8MgA
