Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced on Friday that she had divorced her television journalist partner Andrea Giambruno, who had been on fire in recent weeks for making sexist comments on the broadcast.
On Facebook, Giorgia Meloni wrote, “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”.
They have a little daughter.
Giambruno hosts a news programme on Mediaset, which is owned by the heirs of the late Silvio Berlusconi, the former premier and Meloni ally.
Another Mediaset show aired off-air excerpts from Giambruno’s show this week, showing him using obscene language and making approaches to a female colleague.
“Why didn’t I meet you before?”, he asks.
On Thursday, an explicit recording aired, Giambruno is heard boasting about an affair and promising female colleagues they can work for him if they participate in group sex.
In August, the TV journalist was publically chastised for making apparent victim-blaming remarks in the aftermath of a gang rape case.
In the course of his talk, he stated, “If you go dancing, you have every right to get drunk – there shouldn’t be any kind of misunderstanding and any kind of problem – but if you avoid getting drunk and losing your senses, you might also avoid running into certain problems and coming across a wolf”.
Meloni stated after that episode that she should not be judged for her partner’s words and that she would not answer inquiries regarding his behavior in the future.
