Filippo Scarafia, known for playing Roberto Landi in the Rai 1 soap opera The Ladies’ Paradise, announced on November 8, 2026, that he has become a father for the first time, as reported by DiLei.
The Italian actor shared the news on Instagram with a post dedicated to his newborn son, Duccio. “Yesterday my life changed forever. Long live Duccio. Long live the mother,” Scarafia wrote on his profile, according to Blasting News.
Alongside his announcement, Scarafia posted a video filmed behind the scenes on the set of The Ladies’ Paradise. Blasting News reported that the 36-year-old actor gathered his castmates to share the news by holding up an ultrasound image.
“What do you think, does he look like me? I’m becoming a dad,” Scarafia joked to the crew, prompting laughter and surprise from his colleagues. DiLei noted that the actor used his Tuscan background and a touch of fiction-style irony to break the news to the production team.
The arrival of baby Duccio marks a new milestone in Scarafia’s relationship with his partner, Giulia.
Scarafia previously discussed his domestic routine with Giulia in past interviews, noting how they balance their demanding schedules. Regarding the possibility of marriage, the actor explained that he values children over a formal wedding, stating they have already shared so much that a ceremony would simply be a minor detail.
The Instagram announcement quickly drew hundreds of comments and congratulatory messages from viewers and fellow cast members. Both DiLei and Blasting News highlighted the warm reception from fans who follow the actor’s daily work on the afternoon series.
With the birth of his son, Scarafia steps into fatherhood after expressing a long-held desire to have children. The actor now balances his television career with his new family life in Rome.
