Francesco Facchinetti Addresses Marriage Rumors and Couples Therapy on Rai1
Francesco Facchinetti addressed public speculation regarding his marriage to Wilma Helena Faissol during an appearance on the Rai1 talk show “Ciao Maschio,” hosted by Nunzia De Girolamo, on October 3, gossip.it reported. The 46-year-old producer confirmed that he and his wife attended couples therapy and admitted that the thought of a permanent separation crossed his mind during difficult periods.
The interview marks the first time Facchinetti has spoken publicly about his private life following months of rumors surrounding the stability of his marriage.

Facchinetti reflects on cultural temperament and emotional arguments
During the broadcast, De Girolamo asked Facchinetti if he ever genuinely believed his relationship with Faissol was over. He acknowledged that the thought occurred to him, describing it as a normal reaction heightened by cultural temperament.
Sì, vabbè, ma dai, cioè è una cosa normale pensare ‘è veramente finita’. Poi è anche nel nostro DNA italiano un po’ di sceneggiata: ‘È finita, è terminato tutto, oh Dio!’
Facchinetti reflected on his past relationships, noting that previous partnerships with South American women involved intense emotional arguments. He recalled asking a former Venezuelan partner where she learned such explosive conflict styles, to which she reportedly answered that she learned them from telenovelas. He stated that experiencing those extreme emotional cycles helped him appreciate boundaries and recognize the value of what he shares with his wife.
When asked by De Girolamo if they had moved past the worst of their difficulties, Facchinetti responded with a laugh, saying, Dipende… Che ora è? Vediamo tra un’oretta cosa succede…
He continues to refer to Faissol as his wife.
