on


Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has announced that she has separated from her partner of almost 10 years, Andrea Giambruno, who is a television journalist. The couple has a 7-year-old daughter. Meloni wrote on her social media accounts, “My relationship with Andrea Giambruno, which lasted almost 10 years, ends here. Our paths have diverged for some time, and the time has come to acknowledge it”

Giambruno has been criticized recently for making sexist comments both on and off air. On two days this week, another Mediaset show broadcast off-air excerpts from Giambruno’s program showing him using foul language and appearing to make advances to a female colleague. In the second, more explicit recording aired on Thursday, Giambruno is heard boasting about an affair and telling female colleagues they can work for him if they take part in group sex. The TV journalist had already been widely criticized in August for apparent victim-blaming comments following a gang rape case

Several international media outlets have covered this story. According to CNN, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has separated from her partner, Andrea Giambruno, after his recent sexist comments on and off air.
