During her recent appearance on the Italian talk show Verissimo, singer Sarah Toscano tackled the swirling rumors surrounding her personal life, particularly those involving high-profile figures such as rapper Fedez and tennis star Matteo Berrettini. The 19-year-old, who rose to fame after winning the talent show Amici and participated in the prestigious Sanremo, has been the talk of the gossip columns lately, but she refuses to let unfounded speculations define her.
Facing the allegations head-on, Toscano expressed her frustration over the gossip, firmly stating: "Non c’è assolutamente nulla di vero" (There is absolutely nothing true) when discussing the supposed link between herself and Fedez. These rumors had gained traction through social media and celebrity gossip sites, creating what she described as unnecessary drama. "Fa parte del gioco" (It’s part of the game), Toscano acknowledged, reflecting on how public figures often become the subjects of wild tales, yet such stories can take their toll. "Fa male quando leggi assurdità sulla tua vita privata" (It hurts when you read absurdities about your private life), she pointedly remarked, illustrating the pain of dealing with public misconceptions.
The accusations about her relationship with Berrettini were no different. Toscano clarified her position on the young tennis star, emphasizing respect over romance. "È un grande atleta, lo stimo molto" (He is a great athlete, I respect him greatly), she declared, highlighting her admiration for his achievements. The singer has publicly stated her fondness for Berrettini, but she assured fans and media alike there was no romantic relationship, stressing, "Non c’è nulla di vero" (There is nothing true) about the rumors.
During the interview, Silvia Toffanin playfully prodded her about her earlier declaration of love for Berrettini, which brought forth an amused reaction from Toscano. She cleverly sidestepped the intimacy of the topic by responding, "Ho molti idoli sportivi" (I have many sporting idols), demonstrating her ability to navigate the conversation with poise and humor.
Toffanin attempted to tease out more details, joking about the potential of Berrettini surprising her on set, which led Toscano to momentarily boggle with excitement. "Cosa possiamo dirgli se non complimenti?" (What can we say to him but compliments?), she noted, giving kudos to Berrettini’s stellar performance and work ethic. "Una voce mi ha detto che nei camerini ascolta Amarcord" (A rumor told me he listens to Amarcord backstage), she added jokingly, providing insight on the lighthearted relationship she hopes to maintain with the public and the media.
Beyond her handling of rumors, Toscano opened up about her personal life, candidly expressing her approach to relationships. She stated, "Non voglio accontentarmi" (I don’t want to settle), indicating her selectiveness when it came to love. At such a young age, she portrays maturity and wisdom, preferring to wait for someone who can genuinely connect with her. She confirmed she has not yet experienced any significant relationships since her rise to fame.
On discussing her future, Toscano remained focused on her career. She mentioned the desire to continue thriving in the entertainment industry, stating, "Voglio guardare avanti e concentrarmi su ciò che amo fare" (I want to look forward and focus on what I love to do). Her clarity and honesty not only reflect her personal growth but also strengthen her relationship with her audience, who continue to follow her with interest and admiration.
With the haze of gossip now settling, Toscano emphasizes staying true to herself and her passions, always striving to refine her artistry. After all, she is committed to building her own narrative rather than allowing others to define it through speculation. Through the ups and downs of fame, she stands firm, ready to face the challenges of public life with grace and confidence.
