Reports initially surfaced suggesting that the long-standing friendship between former television personalities Elisabetta Canalis and Maddalena Corvaglia had ended. These reports, including commentary from journalist Selvaggia Lucarelli, claimed the rift was caused by a failed financial investment in Los Angeles that resulted in significant losses for Corvaglia.

Elisabetta Canalis addressed these rumors during an appearance on the talk show Verissimo. She denied the claims of a fallout, stating, ‘The truth is much simpler’ and asserting that there are no grievances between her and Corvaglia. Canalis specifically refuted the suggestion that failed business deals were the cause of any distance between them.

During the same interview, Canalis also addressed her separation from surgeon Brian Perri after ten years of marriage. She explained that the decision to live separately was mutual and aimed at maintaining an honest relationship for their daughter, Skyler. She noted that Perri remains a primary reason for her continued residence in the United States, a move she described as being for her personal serenity. Regarding her romantic life, Canalis described herself as an ‘eternal single’ but expressed openness to future relationships, provided they meet her daughter’s approval.

Canalis’s appearance on Verissimo was part of a high-profile weekend lineup for the program, which also featured guests such as Amanda Knox, Antonia Salzano Acutis, and Olympic speed skater Francesca Lollobrigida. In addition to discussing her personal life, Canalis used the platform to discuss her upcoming role on ‘Tu sì que vales’.
