Cast changes and developments for Uomini e Donne

Overview

The 2026 season of the Italian dating program ‘Uomini e Donne’ premiered on Canale 5 on September 21, achieving strong viewership with a 26.50% market share. The season features Alessandra Mussolini, winner of ‘GF VIP 8’, as a new commentator alongside Tina Cipollari and Gianni Sperti. Mussolini’s presence has reportedly caused friction with Cipollari due to her active participation style.

In the ‘Trono Classico’, several ‘tronisti’ have emerged, including Giacomo Vacalebre, who has pursued a connection with Martina Calabrò, and Giovanni Grazioso. Grazioso, a former ‘Temptation Island’ participant, faced scrutiny after a woman named Rosaria alleged he had contacted her in 2024 while in a relationship. Grazioso is also collaborating with entrepreneur Steven Basalari on a new business venture.

In the ‘Trono Over’, returning figures include Gemma Galgani, who is engaging with suitors Fabio and Andrea, and Marco and Cinzia Paolini, who announced their intention to marry despite skepticism from commentators. Tensions remain high for Marina Brochetta, who has engaged in heated confrontations with Cipollari and Sperti.

Notable departures and personal updates include Antonio Marino and Paola Fatuzzo, who decided to leave the program together in October 2026 after Marino declared his feelings for Fatuzzo; however, reports later indicated the pair has struggled to maintain a relationship outside the studio. Additionally, Ciro Solimeno and Elisa Leonardi are moving in together in Rome, and former participant Marco Ferri announced he is expecting his second child.
