Elisabetta Canalis talks again about her private life. 2023 was not an easy year for the showgirl, starting with the separation from her ex-husband Brian Perri. The weekly Grazia has indeed published the first interview of the last months, in which the model and actress talked about her life as a separated woman, her daughter, and also about her new boyfriend.
The separation from the ex-husband
One of the first points of the interview with Elisabetta Canalis concerns the separation from her ex-husband Brian Perri, announced in July 2023 after months of crisis. The showgirl reveals: 'We are separated but not yet legally divorced. If I look back, when I got married, I did not expect things to go this way. But over the years I have understood that we are constantly changing and that the relationship can inevitably change. You can face separation in a traumatic way, or by looking each other in the eye and trying to understand each other. Brian and I are part of this second group.'
The daughter and the responsibility
A separation that occurred after about ten years of marriage. 'To us women they always attribute the responsibility of the failure of marriages or of not having committed enough to save them. We are pointed out as irresponsible. I disagree. Being a parent is a great responsibility and, when you are a single parent by choice, that does not change. You just take back your individuality, your life. Many times life puts us in front of events for which it is necessary to grow and move on. And change can be positive, not just a symptom of uncertainty and fear. We must not give space to the idea of failure, but learn to evolve. If I could go back I would do everything I have done, even just for the daughter we had.'
The love for Skyler
Canalis also talks about her daughter Skyler Eva, born in 2015. She is the reason why the showgirl still lives in Los Angeles and does not return to Italy: 'I do not move. My daughter is 8 years old and attends elementary school. My priority and Brian's has been, from the beginning, not to upset her life. With Skyler, constancy works, she needs to be encouraged with homework, sports, and social relationships. We have committed ourselves not to change her habits. Not easy, of course. But I would never take away a father like Brian from my daughter. I took into account that I have to sacrifice myself to make things go well. When she will be older, if she ever wants to have a study experience in Italy and if the father will agree, it will be done. But now it is premature even just to talk about it.'
The boyfriend Giorgian Cimpeanu
Elisabetta Canalis also talked about her new boyfriend Giorgian Cimpeanu. 'I waited to talk about it, I want to respect everyone's sensitivity. I have a wonderful relationship with my ex-husband, we have no secrets of any kind but we put the interests of our daughter Skyler Eva before ours. I can only tell you that I am very well and I am happy. And it was not easy. Whoever is close to me has understood the delicate moment I was going through. And only a non-oppressive and invasive person could be with me. There are moments in life when for love you have to wait, know how to look at 'the big picture', the general picture, to believe in the future.'
Who he is
Georgian Cimpeanu was born in Romania in 1983 and is a kickboxing champion. Known as 'Iceman', he was Italian champion and three times world champion of his kickboxing category. The common passion for this sport led them to know each other.
