Cristian Mascolino post‑show romance and social media rift

Overview

In late July 2026, Italian reality‑show participant Cristian Mascolino was reported to have ended his on‑screen partnership with Soraya Sabetta after “Temptation Island” and to be pursuing a new relationship with fellow contestant Flavia Punzo. Rumors also suggested that, despite the split, Mascolino remained employed by the family firm owned by Soraya’s father, although some fans disputed this claim.

A few days later, Mascolino publicly confirmed another new romance, this time with model and media personality Nicole Cena, during a televised confrontation with Sabetta. The announcement indicated that his post‑show dating life had shifted focus to Cena, adding another chapter to the public’s interest in his personal affairs.

By mid-August 2026, social media activity indicated deepening tension between Sabetta and Mascolino. Following rumors regarding Mascolino’s alleged private chats with other women prior to the show, Sabetta reportedly removed Instagram story highlights featuring the former couple and liked a critical post on X questioning Mascolino’s character. In response, Mascolino has reportedly stopped following Sabetta on social media.

In early September 2026, it was announced that Sabetta and Mascolino would face a heated confrontation during a special broadcast on Canale 5. The upcoming two-part special aims to address unresolved tensions and rumors regarding Mascolino’s alleged infidelity that surfaced after the original program concluded. The second installment of the special is scheduled for September 14.
