Italian television personality Giulia Salemi and Pierpaolo Pretelli are reportedly experiencing a relationship crisis and no longer live under the same roof, according to reports published by the weekly magazine Spend.
The Separation and Family Dynamics
The reported split comes just months after the birth of their first child, Kian, who was born in January 2025. According to Spend, Salemi and Pretelli were recently photographed during a family outing in Milan that included Salemi’s mother, Fariba, and their dog, Prince. Upon parting ways, the couple exchanged a hug and a cheek kiss before Pretelli left with the child, heading to a separate residence rather than the family home. Gossip outlets and social media users previously noted that recent video content shared by Pretelli appeared to be filmed from a different location, prompting widespread speculation from fans.
Public Response and Industry Reactions
Neither Salemi nor Pretelli have publicly confirmed or denied the separation reports, opting for silence regarding their current domestic status. However, gossip commentators have weighed in on the situation. Deianira Marzano reported via Instagram that a source indicated the couple reached an end point, while Amedeo Venza stated that he spoke directly with Pretelli, confirming a delicate crisis period but ruling out any infidelity. Venza added that the pair intend to continue co-parenting their son despite the separation.
History of the Relationship
Salemi and Pretelli first met during the Big Brother VIP reality television house, which aired from late 2020 to early 2021. Their romance developed inside the reality television house and continued into their professional and personal lives. Pretelli, a former television figure known for Striscia la Notizia and Such and Which Show, shares a son named Leonardo from a previous relationship with Ariadna Romero. Salemi has built an extensive television and digital career, hosting projects such as Beijing Express and the podcast I don’t do it for fashion. The couple previously weathered significant relationship hurdles, including a rough patch between late 2023 and early 2024 before eventually reconciling.
