With Mara Venier the actress took the avenue of memories, retracing the first, fateful meeting with the artist from Brescia. “I didn’t feel worthy of any type of engagement, I had suffered from a disease that was difficult to manage for years: bulimia”, recalled Ambra, who often opened up about the eating disorder she suffered from in the years following her exploit. It’s not Raithe hit program that launched it in 1993.

“Fra stole my heart,” he reiterated, then revealing an intimate and delicate detail of their first night together. “The first evening I don’t know how we got to the bedroom. I lowered the shutters, I turned around and he was in his underwear. But the truth is that he wanted to show me his scar and his flaws. That night we just hugged and it was the most romantic thing that ever happened to me. Our looks today remain unique.”

The couple started dating in 2003, when she hosted the radio program
Amber & the Imbeciles and he was at the height of success with the song “Raccontami”. That first meeting in the workplace during Ambra’s broadcast later turned into a lasting bond, marked by the arrival of the firstborn Jolanda Renga in 2004 and then by Leonardo in 2006.

Ambra Angiolini and Francesco Renga, their relationship today and why they broke up

In the years after the breakup, the couple embarked on new sentimental paths, while maintaining their friendship stable, not only for the love of their two children but above all by virtue of the bond that united them for over a decade. “I respect her private life a lot, we still hang out as a family, even if I try to be not very ‘noisy’ we also hang out with her, because we have decided not to have any closure”, said Ambra speaking about her relationship with Francesco Renga today. The artist, who is preparing to take the stage at Sanremo 2026 with the song “Il Migliore di Me”, has established a long relationship with Diana Polonihis partner for almost 10 years, while Ambra, after a long history with Massimiliano Allegrihas had several flirtations, not all of them happy. In an interview with Corriere della Sera he had recounted his experiences with men after the end of the relationship with Renga, calling them “human cases“. “Maybe my men, apart from the father of my children, were human cases, and they left them to me.” And on the relationship with the former historian, even on that occasion, he reiterated: “Once we had overcome the disappointment, overcome the anger of the breakup, we found each other for the reason why we had chosen each other, that is, for a crazy love.” Because “it can happen that two separated people still say I love you, and it is clear that it has a value linked to something great from the past that we share happily.”

Having come to an end after years of harmony, their bond failed for various reasons and above all at the right time, before hatred and mutual recriminations invaded their friendship. Upon the release of his album A beautiful dayin 2023, Renga had told the reasons for the breakup with Ambra and the esteem that survived that painful farewell. “Ambra and I had the intelligence to realize that the moment had come when, in order not to make the situation implode, we needed to throw our hearts beyond the obstacleout of responsibility towards a family that nevertheless continues to exist. Arguing, hurting yourself, can be gratifying in the moment but in the long run it destroys everything”. Breaking up as a gesture of love, in short, is not a utopian scenario, but a demonstration of love and indulgence towards the person with whom one has shared one’s life, at least for a while.

Ambra Angiolini’s new love

Always at DomenicaInthe actress said she was in love and engaged again (“even if he doesn’t know it”, she joked), although she did not reveal the name of her new partner. At the end of 2024 Ambra was spotted with Damiano Micheletto on the red carpet of the Rome Film Festival, a relationship that seems to continue today, albeit in the most absolute discretion. “I have had a reckless life, if Francesco is the Christmas village I am Gardaland with all the roller coasters“, he confessed when talking about his sentimental situation. “Now I understand that people don’t change and that they must be accepted as they are in the world.”

The children of Ambra Angiolini and Francesco Renga

Jolanda and Leonardo, 21 and 19 years old, are the fruit of the love of this very solid couple, which has remained strong for twenty years now despite the blows of life. Renga and Angiolini’s eldest daughter is a university student and writer (in 2024 she published her first book, Something about the way he yawns), but also a face much loved by GenZ: he has often shared his thoughts and his vision of the world on social media, recently also opening up about his bad experience as a victim of revenge porn. Leonardo studies in Brescia, where he lives with his mother (and close to his father) and keeps his life private even on a social level. When the second child turned 19, in May, his mother entrusted words of profound love to her Instagram profile. “I’ve been crazy about you since before I met you and more than I thought I could love. You’ve far exceeded my limits.”
