Irene Grandi is single again. The 52-year-old Florentine singer hinted at the end of her marriage to Lorenzo Doni in an interview with Corriere Fiorentino, where she traced her artistic career and also focused on her private life.
Reflecting on how and how much the pandemic has changed her, Irene Grandi explained that the event has affected her in both positive and negative situations. “I’ve seen fragile bonds break, both in private life and at work,” she confided: “I got married (in 2018 to the lawyer Lorenzo Doni, ed.) to understand if I feel grown up, maybe to “soothe me” certain sides of me that I had always channeled into music with passion, but in marriage I understood that there is a healthy selfishness within me that I cannot break away from, that work has always priority, and that’s why it didn’t work, it’s already finished”.
Regarding the reasons for the end of the marriage, the singer explained that the problem in her way of seeing the relationship as a couple is not the hypothetical incompatibility of work and family, but the “couple concept today”. “Or you’re lucky enough to find a soul mate…but it’s just ‘amazing’.

It is difficult to understand today what love is. But I know it.” I keep singing it because it’s the only way I can really get close to it.”
