This Wednesday (July 20th), Franciele Grossi and Diego Grossi announced the end of their relationship after nine years. They had been together since they met on BBB 14, took part in the 2018 season of Power Couple and had a son, Enrico, aged one year and ten months. Speaking exclusively to the LeoDias column, Fran said the crisis in the relationship has been coming for a while.
When you announced the breakup, you cited “an accumulation of things” as the reason for the breakup. Can you say a little more about that, about issues that used to cause disagreement?
“It was really an accumulation. We had already talked about this and we had been in a crisis for about a year. We had a disagreement and we always tried for our relationship, our family and our son, but there are situations where we mature and see that suddenly investing so much is not going to change much and this is not where we are want to stay more.

It is better for our mental health if everyone goes their own way. I don’t see myself performing at his side anymore because he dreams a lot of his dreams, you know? So we had a lot of disagreements because everyone wanted to do something. For example, he wants to travel somewhere and I have other priorities, I want to do something and he doesn’t think it’s cool, and then there were these little conflicts that we didn’t understand each other anymore.”
Although you mentioned that the disagreements have been going on for a while, was the decision to end it now, or did you choose to make it public?
“We talked a lot and had as much dialogue as possible… In situations that we had already decided to end, we went two or three days without speaking, but we decided to try again and it repeated kind of , you know? I lived in a loop of things I wasn’t happy about anymore. I think I’m still very young. We have a wonderful son who needs us to be okay, especially mentally, and I think that has affected my life in general emotionally and professionally, I couldn’t organize myself anymore. So I went back to therapy to try to salvage as much of my selfesteem as I could to put an end to the relationship. Now I thought it would be the moment I feel stronger. I know I’ll suffer a little at the beginning, I haven’t stopped liking him yet, but we have to think of ourselves first, get well, and then make someone happy.”
Can you tell us when the crisis in the relationship actually became more apparent?
“It comes from other situations… We’ve tried everything, even couples therapy. We got pregnant and our relationship has really changed a lot, from water to wine, I can’t deny it, Enrico is here to prove that everything we invested was worth it, he is our greatest treasure. But right now, I want to look more at myself, at my future, at my dreams, rather than investing in a relationship that I don’t see changing.”
When he spoke up, Diego said he was going on a field trip to clear his head. Are you planning something like this too?
“The fact that he commented that he’s going to travel I meant I think it would be really nice for him to relax and focus on that issue and be alright. He had already arranged for this trip and it was a trip that didn’t have any particular problem but we didn’t have that priority as a couple and anyway he put his foot down and said he was going. So that was one of the reasons. It was situations like this that happened and for me it was enough. I’m not in the mood to extend to live the same things every month, ends and comes back and then tries again and the same thing always happens.”
You mentioned that you will use this moment to invest in your dreams. What are the professional plans for 2022?
“Take care of my son and my life first. I intend to invest in my career, take care of my emotional health and my body. Save my dreams and my projects that have been kept in the box for so long. I have an influencer marketing agency that I would like to cover even more, alongside other projects, as a channel I plan to create soon. I will also do some surgeries that I had already planned… I want to look good, I want to look good and that’s what I strive for. I think we need to take care of ourselves, love each other, respect each other and protect each other as best we can. And that’s it. Ball forward, new life.”
