Who is Karin Trentini, Riccardo Fogli’s wife
Karin Trentini is a 43 year old model and entrepreneur. Between her and Riccardo Fogli, therefore, there is a very important age difference, given that the former Pooh singer was born in 1947. Born in 1979, Karin began her career in the world of fashion from a young age. However, dance was her true passion, leading her to work as a dancer in various television programs, both for Rai and Mediaset. His life took an unexpected turn when she met Riccardo Fogli at one of his concerts: at the time Karin was only 16 years old and was encouraged by her parents, big fans of Fogli, to participate in the event. Initially skeptical, Karin talks about how her opinion changed instantly, making her fall in love with the music and the artist.
The love story between Karin and Riccardo it has blossomed over timeculminating with the marriage proposal in 2010, in a romantic atmosphere during a dinner in Puglia. From their union Michelle was born, who today brings an extra smile to the lives of both of them. Karin has also been able to build a career outside the world of fashion, managing the bed and breakfast Home Sheets and creating his own line of cosmetics. Also, in 2007, he starred in the film A beautiful wife by Leonardo Pieraccioni, thus demonstrating his talent also in the field of acting. In 2019, while Riccardo Fogli was participating as a contestant on the Island of the Famous, his wife Karin ended up at the center of controversy due to Fabrizio Corona, who publicly accused her of having a clandestine relationship with another man, without however providing evidence in support of the news. Informed of the ‘gossip’ on live TV by the presenter of the Island of the famous Alessia Marcuzzi, Riccardo Fogli responded to Corona by challenging him to a duel, specifying that he did not believe in the slightest the unverified allegations of the former king of the paparazzi.
Family and history with Patty Pravo
Riccardo Fogli’s life was also marked by previous love stories, in particular the one with Viola Valentino, his first wife, and with Patty Pravo. The marriage with Viola, which lasted over twenty years, led to the birth of AlexanderRichard’s first son. However, Fogli’s relationship with Patty Pravo, which caused quite a stir at the time, was a turning point in his life: not only did it interrupt his relationship with Viola, but it also led to his exit from Pooh, as he himself explained in various interviews.
Fogli described that period as a difficult but necessary choice to assert one’s freedom. “I don’t let anyone decide which women I should date.”he said, underlining the importance of living your life by your own rules. Despite the difficulties and sacrifices, Fogli has always put his personal freedom first, and today he can say he is satisfied with the life he has built with Karin and Michelle.
