The king of Italian television, Pippo Baudo, who has died at the age of 89, marked the history of the spectacle with his talent and charisma, but his private life, filled with intense love stories, marriages and an extended family, often attracted the attention of the public. Behind the impeccable presenter hides a man who experienced meaningful relationships, moments of joy and difficult decisions, always maintaining a certain discretion.
His first marriage to Angela Lippi and the birth of Tiziana
In 1970, Pippo Baudo married Angela Lippi, a woman who supported him during a critical period of his career. From this union, they had a daughter, Tiziana, who made Baudo the grandfather of twins, Nicholas and Nicole, born in 2010. The couple separated after five years, but their bond with their daughter remained strong.
Relationship with Mirella Adinolfi and her son Alessandro
Before marrying Angela Lippi, Baudo had a relationship with Mirella Adinolfi, with whom he had a son, Alessandro, in 1962. However, the story is complex: at the time, Adinolfi was married to Tullio Formosa, an executive at RAI, and Alessandro grew up believing that Formosa was his father. It was only in 1996, after a legal dispute, that Baudo officially recognized his son, building a deep relationship with him. Alessandro, in turn, made Baudo grandfather to Sean, born in 1990, and great-grandfather in 2010.
Love in the spotlight with Katia Ricciarelli
The most famous chapter in Pippo Baudo's love life is his marriage to Katia Ricciarelli, a world-famous soprano. Their wedding, celebrated on January 18, 1986, created one of the most admired couples in the world of Italian entertainment. Their relationship, in the spotlight for years, was intense but not without its challenges. A pregnancy was interrupted early in their relationship and attempts at assisted reproduction marked painful moments. The couple separated in 2004, finally divorcing in 2007, but maintained a relationship of respect and love.
Baudo's other loves and his privacy
In addition to his marriages, Baudo had other significant relationships, including a seven-year relationship with actress and singer Alida Chelli, who passed away in 2012, and a brief fling with actress Adriana Russo. Despite his fame, Baudo always tried to keep his private life away from gossip, protecting those he loved from the media spotlight.
