“A painful separation began for some time. I dealt with it quietly, protecting everyone’s confidentiality. We recently started divorce proceedings. At this moment all my attention is focused on the protection of my two children.” Tiziano Ferro thus announced, via Instagram, the end of his marriage to her husband Victor Allen.
Margherita and Andres (the two children) «currently spend most of their time at home with me. At this moment I cannot leave them, and I cannot take them with me to Italy – adds the singer, explaining that for this reason he cannot honor the appointments made in Italy to present his novel -. You know: I went on a tour against the advice of doctors. I would never have canceled those concerts. This time, however, it’s different. It’s not about me and my health, it’s about two very young children and their serenity. I apologize immensely, but now they are my priority.”
Here is another blow to the “normalization” of Tiziano Ferro, because the public image of any artist is almost never adherent to a private experience which – apart from money and celebrities – is made up of suffering that affects everyone. At 20, Tiziano Ferro had all the right passwords of a teen idol: thin, handsome, a slap-in-the-face smile, a scary voice. His success was growing outside, but inside there was also a growing desire to escape from a cage in which over time it was not clear whether he had locked himself in or whether others had imprisoned him. At 30, in 2010, he decided to reveal that he was homosexual: «I did it for myself, because I lived a life in complete denial in a society that didn’t accept who I was, and I didn’t accept myself. Nobody had ever done it in Italy.”
Double marriage in the USA and Italy
It is the first step towards a stable and recognized relationship. The chosen one is Victor Allen. They got married on June 25, 2019 in Los Angeles and on July 13 of the same year they repeated their vows in Sabaudia. “It was Victor’s idea, when I saw him on his knees with the ring I burst into tears. For me he is ready to become a parent” the singer told Vanity Fair. It was the period of commitments also made as a public figure. «With the marriage Victor becomes part of my family and this is a truth that cannot be silenced, a truth that, as at the time of my coming out, I hope can be useful to someone. I say this as a citizen, as a son, as a singer-songwriter on stage. But also as a brother and a friend. Let’s put the human being at the center: women, men, children, all human beings. And family in all its meanings, as long as there is always love and protection at the center. Yes, in recent years the inequality of rights has made me feel disappointed, embittered, angry.”
The children of Tiziano Ferro and Victor Allen: Margherita and Andres
The children arrived in February 2022: Margherita and Andres were adopted when they were 9 and 4 months old. “Two phone calls made me the happiest man in the world. The first a few months ago: a little girl. The second a few weeks later: this time a baby. For Victor and me, the experience of being parents represents the highest of honors, the most demanding of burdens” Tiziano Ferro had written, again on social media. Someone who has always made few concessions: «Alcoholic, bulimic, gay, depressed, famous. Even this, famously, seemed to me to be a flaw, perhaps the worst”, is how Titian described himself in the documentary film Ferro. A portrait – very conscious – in which he dismantled piece by piece the external image, glossy, always a little photoshopped, for use as a cover that public figures are often forced to portray.
