Bonolis opens up about Sanremo and Mediaset: “I stand by my word”. Then he talks about Bruganelli

Paolo Bonolis was one of the first names proposed for the post-Amadeus. Strengthened by the public’s approval and a great professional, the host could certainly achieve success again if put at the helm of the amazing ship of the Sanremo Festival. There has already been a lot of talk about it and he himself thought about clarifying it. On the possible trio (after the encore in 2009), he extinguished the hopes of his supporters: “At the moment we cannot see the circumstance”, he said in an interview granted to Corriere della Sera, also specifying that next year he will remain in Mediaset. “I promised Pier Silvio that I would do another season of Avanti un Altro and I am a person of my word”, he declared.

A question about the end of the love story with Sonia Bruganelli certainly couldn’t be missing. In June 2023, the couple announced their decision to separate in an interview with Vanity Fair. How are things now? Is there still unity? “Of course. We have three children, we need harmony… what do you say? Parental, that’s it”, said Bonolis, who however also admitted that he had suffered the choice: “I suffered it, sharing it. How can you expect that a does a person do what they no longer want, feel what they no longer feel, let them be what they no longer are?”. “For me it wasn’t easy, but it was right,” she specified. On the future and on a possible new relationship, he confessed: “Now I’m fine like this. I’m full of friends, I have five children, two grandchildren and a third who will be born in July. If it happens, it will happen. And if it doesn’t happen, as they say to Rome, dammit.”
