Francesco Totti and Ilary Blasi move forward with divorce after court hearing
After a court hearing in Rome, former football captain Francesco Totti and television presenter Ilary Blasi confirmed they are proceeding with their divorce. The couple, married since 2005, began the legal process that will take about two months for notification and an additional 30 days before either can remarry.
Immediately after the hearing, Ilary flew to Frankfurt to join her partner Bastian Müller, while Totti travelled on vacation with his new companion Noemi Bocchi, sharing photos from a seaside destination. Discussions over assets continue, including a handbag worth roughly €4,000 displayed in court and the broader evaluation of their joint wealth to determine alimony and child‑care arrangements. The split ends a 21‑year relationship that has long been the focus of Italian media.
The proceedings highlight the financial and custodial disputes typical of high‑profile separations, with both parties publicly expressing affection for their new partners while navigating the legal steps toward finalizing the divorce.
