Lorenzo Tano, the son of adult film star Rocco Siffredi, is navigating the complexities of love and family in the public eye. After a lengthy 12-year relationship with his ex-girlfriend Laura Medcalf, Tano has found new love with his dance teacher, Lucrezia Lando, during his participation in the popular Italian show 'Ballando con le Stelle' (Dancing with the Stars). The couple, who have been together for over a year and a half, are now contemplating marriage and starting a family, despite facing challenges related to location and family ties.
The end of Lorenzo's relationship with Laura Medcalf, who is of Hungarian origin, was publicly announced via social media. Tano shared with his followers, "Thank you for asking. I actually have had better days. For the past two days, my girlfriend, now ex, and I have broken up after 12 years of being together. I didn't want to talk about it, but since you asked..." This candid admission highlighted the emotional weight of their breakup, which Lorenzo attributed in part to pressures from Laura's family. He explained, "Her parents said we could no longer be together. I tried to move on, but then came the decision to separate... For me, she was everything, my motivation for living, and I loved her. If something wasn't right, I wouldn't give up because I knew she was there. I lost my way after it ended. I wondered, 'Why should I work or move forward if she's no longer here?'"
Following the breakup, Lorenzo experienced significant emotional distress, losing 12 kilograms as he struggled with the separation. He candidly shared, "I was feeling very bad and thinking about very dark things. I lived this without seeing a way out. I dreamed every day of going to sleep and not waking up again. It was very hard, and I am not ashamed to say it."
However, a new chapter began for Tano when he met Lucrezia Lando on 'Ballando con le Stelle.' Their relationship blossomed from a professional connection into a romantic one, and they have since moved in together in Budapest, where Rocco Siffredi has established his Hard Academy, the first university for adult film studies. Despite their happiness, Lucrezia has expressed a desire to return to Italy to be closer to her family. In a heartfelt letter published in the weekly magazine DiPiu, she wrote, "I love you, I would like to build a family with you, but I feel the need to live this reality by returning to my parts."
Lorenzo, while understanding Lucrezia's feelings, is bound to Budapest due to his commitments with his father. He explained, "I have my job with Dad, and I can't leave it. However, things could change soon, as Dad is starting to talk about retirement, and Mom dreams of a bit of peace, imagining a new beginning in a warmer place near the sea, possibly Brazil. This idea excites me too..."
Despite the distance from her family, Lucrezia's commitment to Lorenzo remains strong. She has shown readiness to embrace the future with him, and Lorenzo has reciprocated this sentiment. He stated, "Let's build a family that travels, discovers, and grows freely. Then, one day, maybe we will settle down. Perhaps in Italy. Or in Brazil. Or who knows where. But it will be our place. Our nest. We have lived a beautiful year and a half. Now let's live our love freely and start working on forming our family."
The couple's relationship has garnered significant media attention, especially with Lorenzo's upcoming participation in 'L'Isola dei Famosi' (The Island of the Famous), a reality show set to air in 2025. This new endeavor will test his physical and mental endurance in a challenging environment. Lorenzo has chosen to maintain a discreet profile, similar to his approach on 'Ballando con le Stelle,' but he aims to showcase his resilience and character in this new setting.
Lorenzo has also made it clear that he does not feel overshadowed by his father's legacy. He expressed confidence in forging his own identity, stating, "I don't feel anxiety about the comparison with Rocco and want to find my identity, especially now that I am dedicating myself, in addition to television, to a technical role still connected to my father's world, but with a more professional touch." He has confirmed his intention to leave the adult film industry once his father retires, demonstrating a desire for change.
As Rocco Siffredi has publicly expressed his eagerness to become a grandfather, the pressure to start a family is palpable for Lorenzo and Lucrezia. Lorenzo dreams of having three children, saying, "My dad can't wait for us to become parents... I like big families and dream of having not one, but three daughters. I am willing to accept boys as well, but on the number, I won't compromise: I want three children."
In summary, Lorenzo Tano's journey from a long-term relationship with Laura Medcalf to a budding romance with Lucrezia Lando illustrates the challenges and joys of love in the public eye. As they navigate their relationship amid family expectations and career commitments, the couple remains hopeful about their future together, ready to embrace whatever comes next.
