Those who follow Alessandro Egger remember him as a Beijing Express competitor alongside his mother, Cristina Vittoria Egger Bertotti, known as the Grand Dame of the Royal House of Savoy. However, in his own words, something has changed in his existence that was not linear and was only revealed to the general public through the show after “Dancing with the Stars”.
Prior to Milly Carlucci’s TV show, she went through a series of personal and professional events. Cristina Egger is not a prominent figure. Her only television appearance alongside her son Alessandro da Ballando was on the Beijing Express. His work is anything but public. She was born in 1969 and worked for Versace in the 1990s. In 2007 she was hired as a liaison manager for Dutch designers in Italy, working with the Dutch Fashion Foundation, a very popular organization in the country.
Throughout her career, Cristina Egger has gone through various roles, worked for various companies and taken on various positions such as consultant, talent scout and project manager. Apart from what his son Alessandro Egger partially shares, not much is known about his personal life. Appearing on the Beijing Express, she said she is married and has three children. However, there is no information about the other two. According to Alessandro, he and his mother no longer have a relationship and they no longer communicate with each other. On Milly Carlucci’s show, Alessandro explained that Cristina had decided to live without him, which he had to accept. He also said he was forced to leave home at the age of 17 without family support.
Alessandro Egger speaks to his mother
After her son Alessandro Egger accused her of wanting a life without him, Cristina Vittoria Egger did not label him a liar. Instead, he observed that the events of his childhood were told according to his interpretation and that he perceived them as if they were real.
In summary, he managed to convince himself that his ideas were a reality. In addition, the grand dame of the Savoyard royal family also recalled that Alessandro was always tormented by the feeling of not being valued, even though Egger, her second husband, had raised him as his own son, without prejudice towards other two brothers. The former Beijing Express member, who was with his son for an interview with a weekly newspaper, said he didn’t throw the Dancing with the Stars star out of the house as a teenager because he was bitchy and, most importantly, not diligent warned that if he failed academically again, he would have to find a job to make a living.
In trying to make him do well in school, his mother did her best. Unfortunately, the situation did not improve and at the age of 19 Alexander left home due to a heated argument about his lack of promotion. Initially, the mother was supportive of her son, but he wanted to make his own way, so he took a job as a garbage collector in London and then found success as a model. Cristina Vittoria Egger then answered the question that many are asking: Why don’t we talk to each other anymore after we’ve done the Beijing Express together? The bitter argument happened after the disappearance of Alessandro Egger’s beloved great-grandmother. The troubles caused by the inheritance issue led to their split and they have not heard from each other since. However, the contestant’s mother – who dated Tove Villfor on Dancing with the Stars – said she still loves her son dearly.
Alessandro Egger’s father
The identity of Alessandro Egger’s father is unknown to the public and few rumors suggest that he is an entrepreneur. The mother, Cristina Egger, revealed that the first husband, Alessandro’s father, was always absent. When Alessandro was 3 years old, Cristina met her current husband who, in her opinion, treated him like a son, like their next two children.
Dancing with the Stars contestant Alessandro Egger was born on September 6, 1991 in Belgrade, Serbia. At the age of 6 the family moved to Como, Italy and later to London and Milan. At 13, an ad for kids’ bars opened the door to the world of entertainment. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Alessandro spoke about his childhood and youth but didn’t mention his parents. He was reportedly a mischievous and headstrong child, but also a very polite one.
The House of Gucci actor said he lost weight to become a model and weighs 100 kg. Thanks to his new slim figure, Versace and Dolce & Gabbana quickly caught the eye and he became one of the most sought-after young models. Anyone who has been following Egger for a long time will know his drag character Alessandra. Alessandra often shares videos of herself in women’s clothes, from which she rose to fame with Tommaso Zorzi. Apart from the bond with his parents, which is part of his personal life, Alessandro hopes to live peacefully with his fiancé and to have a family, even if he doesn’t think the time is right.
