Italian pol dumps TV star boyfriend after raunchy ‘threesome’ chat revealed

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced she called it quits with her longtime boyfriend shortly after his explicit comments to colleagues publicly surfaced. “My relationship with Andrea Giambruno, which lasted almost ten years, ends here. I thank him for the splendid years we spent together, for the difficulties we went through, and for giving me the most important thing in my life, which is our daughter Ginevra,” Meloni posted on X. The Italian PM’s message came just hours after a TV show broadcast explicit comments made by Giambruno, who works as a news presenter for Italy’s largest broadcaster Mediaset, the BBC reported. Satirical TV show called Striscia La Notizia ran off-camera remarks made by Giambruno where he appears to flirt with a colleague.ITALY’S CALL FOR NAVAL BLOCKADE MAY BE ONLY WAY TO STEM EUROPE’S MIGRANT CRISIS, EXPERT SAYS Giorgia Meloni, leader of the Brothers of Italy party, during an interview with Reuters, in Rome, Aug. 24, 2022.

The two never married.”Our paths have diverged for some time, and the time has come to acknowledge it. I will defend what we were, I will defend our friendship, and I will defend, at all costs, a seven-year-old girl who loves her mother and loves her father, as I was unable to love mine. I have nothing else to say about this,” Meloni continued on X, in a tweet that was translated to English. Meloni made Italian history last September when she became the nation’s first female prime minister. She is a member of the right-wing Brothers of Italy party, which campaigned on a nationalist platform while championing lowering taxes and protecting traditional family values. ITALY’S MELONI DRAWS COMPARISON TO LEGENDARY EUROPEAN LEADER AHEAD OF VISIT WITH BIDENIn her post on X, the PM also shot down criticisms from “all those who hoped to weaken me by hitting me at home.” “However much the drop may hope to dig out the stone, the stone remains stone and the drop is only water,” she added in her comment to critics.  Giorgia Meloni made Italian history last September when she became the nation’s first female prime minister.
