Ghighlights were bachata, cha cha, jive, samba and so on and so forth. In almost twenty years of honored career, Dancing with the stars – broadcast on Rai 1 with the 19th edition – it was the home of many loves born between dancers and competitors. In fact, thanks to the training and the search for an affinity as a couple, several relationships have blossomed in the rehearsal room and among the corridors of the Foro Italico. Some were simple flings for a season, while others turned into real lasting loves.
Dancing with the starsthe couples born on the track: from Chiabotto and Fulco to Rosolino and Titova
To inaugurate the list of competitors of Dancing they ended up in love Hoara Borselli and Simone Di Pasquale, winners of the first edition and broke up after a few months. In the second edition, broadcast in autumn 2005, it was the turn of Cristina Chiabotto and Fabio Fulco. Chiabotto had been crowned Miss Italy the year before; Fulco was one of the most popular drama actors of the time.
A pairing, She’s 19, he’s 35with characteristics of a flash in the pan. Instead the meeting turned into a love that lasted over ten years. They said goodbye in 2017. Today Chiabotto is married to Marco Rosciowith whom she had two little girls. Fulco, married to Valeria Papa, has a daughter.
2006 is the year of Massimiliano Rosolino and Natalia Titova. The Olympic swimming champion and the program’s hottest dancer placed fifth, but the chemistry went beyond the dance moves. Once they left Milly Carlucci’s talent show, they never left each other again. They have been together ever since and have two daughters.

To find other couples you have to reach 2021, when the love between Arisa and the dancer Vito Coppola was born. The two won the sixteenth edition of the program and, from the first episodes, an understanding that went beyond dancing was evident. Although they never made it official during the episodes, a few months later Arisa announced the end of their love story.
In 2022 the gossip instead concerned Ema Stokholma and Angelo Madonia. The presenter, Radio 2 speaker, and the dancer placed third. Their story became public knowledge already during the program. A liaison that seemed destined to last, instead came to an end after about a year.
Lorenzo Tano and Lucrezia Lando
2023 was the turn of Lorenzo Tano and Lucrezia Lando. The arrival of Rocco Siffredi’s son on the track Dancing had intrigued the public even before the program began. Then, however, attention shifted to his relationship with the dancer. The first to throw out some clues was Guillermo Mariotto.
Between laughter and denials, love broke out between the two and they are still together. At the end of the eighteenth edition, Lando left the program. A break defined as temporary by the dancer herself. Will he come back?
