A tragedy hit the presenter Maria De Filippi. Here’s what happened
When we think of Maria De Filippi, let’s imagine a strong and determined woman, but also very reserved. Although it is she who tells and tries to solve the drama of other families on TV with You’ve Got Mail, this does not mean that she is immune to tragedy.
During an episode of Domenica In, in fact, she let off steam and explained the difficult situation who was forced to live. Viewers were taken by surprise because no one was expecting anything so serious.
The Milanese presenter is one of the best known personalities of Italian television. Her career began in the 90s as a replacement for her colleague Lella Costa ad Friends, a show for young people and teenagers that aired on Saturday afternoons. By a coincidence of fate, a few years later one of his most popular broadcasts would also take that name. Few remember, in fact, that during the very first editions, the singing and dancing talent of Canale 5 was called They will be famous, like the series. The title was changed precisely because of a question of rights.
Maria De Filippi, the terrible disease
Maria De Filippi is a strong woman reserved. Precisely for this reason, he does not appear often in the gossip newspapers and not much is known about his private life before his marriage to the journalist. Maurizio Costanzo.
The couple married in 1995 but first met in the late 1980s when she was working as his assistant. Love broke out shortly after and for the first time it was very difficult why the well-known Roman presenter was already married to his colleague Marta Flavi. Only after the separation, they were able to formalize their relationship and a few years after the wedding, in 2002, they took care of a child who then adopted officially in 2004.
Not long ago, during a guest at the famous program of Mara Venier, the queen of Men and Women has indulged in a heartbreaking confession.
He said he had lost his father when he was very young, at 28, due to a pancreatic cancer. After a failed operation, he ended up in intensive care and stayed there for a year and a half, but ultimately lost his battle. Maria De Filippi still bears the signs of this traumatic experience: “These pains accompany you throughout your life, you learn to live together and metabolize them“.
