The love story between Enrico Brignano and Flora Canto continues to blossom, having tied the knot on July 30, 2022. Their romantic ceremony took place against the backdrop of the stunning sea at Palo Laziale, marking the beginning of what they describe as a beautiful fairy tale love.
This marriage joined the showman and the former contestant of Uomini e Donne, solidifying their relationship, which is now brightened by the arrival of two beautiful children: Martina and Niccolò.
Flora Canto, now both actress and host, shared insights about their relationship during her interview with Nuovo Tv, stating, "Enrico Brignano l’ho conosciuto dopo la fine di un matrimonio e quando non aveva figli: con me ha creato la sua famiglia." This reveals the dynamic of their relationship, where Brignano, who previously had no children, created a new family life with Flora.
The initial connection between Enrico and Flora can be credited to the matchmaking efforts of renowned television personality Giancarlo Magalli, as disclosed by Brignano during his chat with Io Donna. The actor also humorously recounted how he used his love for food to win Flora's heart. "Per me era una strada in discesa, sono figlio di fruttivendoli. Sono cintura nera di frutta e verdura ed è così che l’ho conquistata, con cassette di frutta e ortaggi," he joked, illustrating how he charmed her with his culinary prowess, rooted in his background as the son of greengrocers.
The couple welcomed their first child, Martina, in 2017, followed by their son Niccolò three years later. Their family life seems thriving, highlighted by Brignano's heartfelt proposal during a performance at the iconic Arena di Verona in 2021, where he expressed, "Lei è la parte migliore di me nell’elaborazione di pensiero, non posso più fare a meno di chiederle: che faresti al posto mio?" This touching sentiment emphasizes his deep appreciation of Flora.
Flora Canto’s backstory adds another layer to the narrative. Born on February 12, 1983, she first gained public attention through her previous relationship with Filippo Bisciglia during Grande Fratello 6. After their breakup, she participated as a tronista on Uomini e Donne and pursued acting, enhancing her profile as both actress and host. Eventually, she met Brignano on the beach at Sabaudia back in 2013, which sparked the beginning of this captivating love story.
Despite their 17-year age difference, Flora has expressed confidence and pride in her relationship with Brignano, stating, “Feci un provino per essere sua moglie in scena, già li ci piacevamo molto. Io a quel tempo uscivo con un altro, ma pensavo già a lui." Her candid reflections on their romantic history indicate the complexity behind their strong bond, including times when communication stalled after he left her, only to return months later, to which she admitted, "Io ed Enrico ci siamo amati, poi lui mi ha lasciato ed ha cambiato anche cellulare. E’ tornato dopo mesi, ma l’ho tenuto sulla corda prima di dirgli si.”
Indeed, their relationship sometimes invites scrutiny, as Flora has shared her experiences facing perceptions of being 'favored' as Brignano's partner. "Devo dimostrare sempre qualcosa in più delle altre, essere la signora Brignano rappresenta sempre un impegno doppio," she explained, highlighting the pressures she feels of being known primarily as Brignano's wife, emphasizing the felt need to constantly prove herself.
Looking toward the future, Flora has made it clear she does not intend to expand their family, dispelling rumors of her being pregnant. Her and Brignano’s commitment to their two children is the priority—a sentiment echoed by Enrico, who expressed, "Spero che i miei figli un giorno possano dire che il loro padre è una brava persona," underscoring his hopes for them to see him as a good role model.
These snippets of their life together paint the picture of not just two individuals deeply in love, but of parents striving to create the best environment for their children. Enrico and Flora's relationship showcases the beauty of love blossoming after previous challenges, thriving through shared interests and commitments. Their story remains captivating, assuring fans of their enduring love.
