(In the video above, Belen talks about the relationship with Stefano De Martino)
“I’m in a happy moment. I’ve learned to love myself more. And that makes me function better.” For the first time, Belen Rodriguez speaks with an open heart about the return of the flame to Stefano De Martino, the ex-husband she’s returned to since last January after having a daughter with another man. Together since 2012, married since 2015 and Santigo’s parents, the showgirl and the dancer, have broken up twice, then always get back together. And today Belen screams loudly that “Stefano never left”.
The law also says that Stefano was always there. Yes, because on a bureaucratic level, the two never really divorced. “We asked for a divorce once, but it didn’t come because we got back together right away — says the showgirl — then we broke up again, we filed for divorce again, but the judge told us to wait. And so, since we’ve been back together for the second time, the divorce petition has expired for the second time. Stefano is my favorite villain, we’ve always been officially married. We’re still husband and wife.” Belen’s eyes speak clearly. The host of Tu si que vales is madly in love, just like the first day.
However, in between a breakup, Belen had a second daughter with another man. We’re talking about Luna Marì, 1.5 years old, born of a brief love for Antonino Spinalbese, former hairdresser, now competitor of Big Brother Vip. Well, during the interview with Silvia, Antonino is never mentioned, although he himself is currently being embarrassed in the media for being “confined” to the Canale 5 reality show. Many in the audience have wondered why. It’s likely that it was the showgirl herself who asked not to bring up the subject during the interview, perhaps to make arrangements with the Verissimo writers. And maybe just so as not to scratch the balance built in his extended family.
Although Belen actually speaks of the second daughter, Antonino’s name is never pronounced. “I allowed myself to give myself another chance, which didn’t go well, even though I was hoping at first – says Belu only – then I met Stefano again, who is actually there. That was it always like that.”
But what relationship do Stefano and Luna have today? “It wasn’t easy for him because when he came back I had a child with another person. And coming back into my life involved adopting a daughter who wasn’t his. He won everything for me for that reason alone. That attitude. For me it is unbelievable what he has achieved. As for Santiago, the couple’s son, he is delighted at the return of his parents: “Like all children, they want their parents together, so he’s very happy.”
The conclusion of the interview is marked by the purest sincerity. “It’s very nice – says Belen of Stefano’s return to the house – in all this chaos and lack of balance, it was nice to have the further confirmation of loving him so much. Because when these things happen, you choose yourself once again, it means there’s a lot of substance.
