In October 2005 her boyfriend Albano Carrisi was a contestant on L'Isola dei Famosi, the Italian version of Celebrity Survivor, when she announced their separation through an article in the Italian magazine Gente;[10] Albano was notified of the decision during the weekly live broadcast of the show[11] and decided to leave the show.
