Italian PM Meloni Announces Split from Longtime Partner After His Lewd Behavior

Italy's PM Giorgia Meloni announced she has separated from partner Andrea Giambruno after 11 years together. They have a 7-year-old daughter.

The split comes after Giambruno made lewd off-air remarks to female colleagues at the TV network he works for.

Meloni thanked Giambruno for their years together and for their daughter, saying her family is her priority.

Giambruno was previously criticized for victim-blaming comments about rape. Meloni defended him at the time.

Meloni's political allies rallied around her following the separation announcement, while a political opponent said she should leave other families alone.
