He started being called “Grandpa Playboy”, and quickly rose to be one of the biggest social media stars in recent years. He mentions that he goes to the gym every day of the week, and is a big fitness enthusiast, as working-out is a part of his life and the results of his daily routine have shown in his numerous posts, and a strict diet is also one of the keys to his physical appearance. More free time for him also allowed him to explore other things, rekindling his passion for music and becoming a DJ, releasing several singles over the next few years, including “Trump-It” and “Viento” in 2017.
Personal Life
For his personal life, it is known that Gianluca has been in several high profile relationships throughout his life. He was engaged to Melissa Satta, but the engagement never reached marriage and they broke up. In 2010, one of his viral dance videos featured him alongside model Giorgia Gabriele, which led to the public discovering that they were in a relationship. Giorgia is known for being a fashion designer with the company Wandering and she also found a lot of popularity online through social media. Prior to their relationship, she was involved with soccer player Christian Vieri. Gianluca and Giorgia stayed together for several years, releasing videos and photos together until it was confirmed in 2017 that they had ended their relationship, without explanation. As a result, they no longer appear in each other’s social media profiles, and both of them seemed to have moved on to other relationships in the last few months.
