He is the “guru” of Italian TV. The King of Quizzes and the most loved (it seems) by viewers. Gerry Scotti, an endless career as a television host, has always kept his private affairs aside, without flaunting them. But we know that it was married once, beforecurrent partner Gabriella Perino. Unfortunately, the love ended in divorce, with a pain that not even the reserved Gerry could really hide. Then the meeting with the current soul mate, who is also the secret of serenity obvious from the presenter. Even if the two, who have been together for over twenty years, do not seem (yet) to be interested in getting married. Because they have opposing views on the big move. Let’s see below all the details and curiosities.
Gerry Scotti, the (painful) divorce from his ex-wife Patrizia Grosso
He basically only talked about it once, then that’s it. Gerry Scotti still struggles to recall the painful divorce from first wife, Patrizia Grosso. The mother of his son Edward finally separated from him. And he really suffered. “I’m going back to my parents,” Gerry said in an interview with Today“I learned from them that there is nothing more sacred than familyeven more than religion, the State and the country. It is in my DNA. And the fact that the first family to fail was mine was a pain that lasted years. I could no longer wake up with my son Edoardo. Over time I managed to build a such a deep relationship with him who named his first daughter Virginia, and I am Virginio Scotti at the registry office”.
On the reasons for the breakup with Patrizia GrossoGerry had shed some light by speaking with Vanity Fair: “We did not get along anymore also my faultwork absorbed me a lot. And my wife asked for separation because he had found another person”. It’s at very true he also added: “When I separated and then got divorced I was ashamed to have finished my family history. I had to pack my bags and leave my house, the place where my son was born and lived.” In short, a great suffering, at times unsustainable.
Yet thanks also to work, which occupied and distracted him a lot, Gerry Scotti managed to rebuild his life. Even sentimental. For years is in a steady relationship with Gabriella Perinorightfully the light of his eyes. Gerry and Gabriella met thanks to the “paw” of their respective childrenwho were schoolmates. Now, thanks to her and her extended family, life goes on smoothly: “My son Edoardo, my partner Gabriella and her children, who grew up with us and are also a little bit mine, they brought me back to real needs and newspapers. Being a father keeps you grounded. Now I enjoy being a grandfather to Virginia and Pietro, my grandchildren.”
Who is partner Gabriella Perino
Gabriella Perino, Gerry Scotti’s partnerhas been together with the host since 2004. Born in 1965, Gabriella is not part of the world of entertainment but is architectand she is also quite reserved. “She is a woman of great character”, Gerry Scotti said of her, “she helps me in the practical aspects of life; she tolerated living next to me despite the spotlight”. And despite living together for decades, the two have not yet married. “We have different positions on marriage”, explained the TV presenter, “she had chosen not to get married in her first experience, while I had chosen to get married…For the moment we are not talking about it, but oh well”. Never say never. And even if they don’t get married in the end, love will win anyway.
