Chef Alessandro Borghese marked his 17th wedding anniversary with Wilma Oliverio by publishing an emotional tribute on Instagram, celebrating a relationship that spans more than a decade and a half of personal and professional partnership. According to the post published on the platform, Borghese reflected on their life together through music, travel, and family, concluding with a promise to seek her out in another life.
The Instagram Tribute and Family Life
According to Alessandro Borghese’s Instagram statement, the milestone marks 17 years since the couple married on July 25, 2009, less than a year after their initial meeting in September 2008. The couple shares two daughters, Arizona, born in 2012, and Alexandra, born in 2016. In his public message, Borghese wrote that his wife is present in “every record I listen to” and described her as the hand he reaches for when times are difficult, while noting that they have consistently chosen to protect their daughters’ privacy away from excessive media exposure.
From a Professional Introduction to a Quick Marriage
According to accounts shared by the couple, their relationship began through a business connection when Wilma Oliverio was working in the commercial sector for Digital Bros and sought a young chef for a project tied to the video game Cooking Mama. After obtaining Borghese’s contact information from Alessia Ventura, the professional meeting quickly developed into a relationship, leading to their wedding in July 2009. Among the anecdotes surrounding their early relationship, Borghese has frequently recounted an incident during an airplane flight where turbulence prompted him to ask if she wanted to change seats, which Oliverio misinterpreted as a spontaneous marriage proposal—a misunderstanding that preceded their actual wedding shortly thereafter.
Business Partnership Through AB Normal
Beyond their domestic life, Oliverio maintains a central role in Borghese’s professional enterprises. She serves as the chief executive officer and commercial director of AB Normal, the company that manages the chef’s restaurants, television projects, and public image. While Borghese handles the creative direction, Oliverio oversees the operational execution of these business initiatives, creating a sustained partnership that integrates both family and commerce without heavy reliance on tabloid coverage.
