Very well, doing job as always says Meloni after split

(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 21 - Premier Giorgia Meloni said Saturday she was very well and doing her job as usual a day after splitting from her eight-year partner and father of their seven year old daughter, TV journalist Andrea Giambruno, a day after a string of lewd comments and apparent admission of infidelity with female colleagues were broadcast on another Berlusconi channel.
    "I am well, I am very well, I am doing my job as always", said Meloni meeting the press in Cairo on the sidelines of the peace summit, responding to those who asked her how much it cost her to make this trip in the aftermath of her separation from Giambruno in the wake of a string of gaffes culminating in him talking of threesome and foursomes off air and apparently admitting the affair.
    Challenged that there was also a political side to her post announcing their separation after they had parted ways "some time ago", she replied: "There is no political side".
    She stressed: "I don't know what is not clear about the fact that I don't want to talk about this anymore." Giambruno, 42, met Meloni, 46, in 2015, and they have a daughter, seven year old Ginevra.
    Before his off-air sexist remarks on Retequattro were broadcast by satirical show Striscia la Notizia on Canale 5, Giambruno also got into hot water by telling women they should not get drunk if they wanted to avoid getting raped, by describing migrant movements as "transhumance", and by denying climate change and telling the German health minister that he should stay at home in the Balck Forest if he found it too hot in Italy.
    Meloni's critics have latched onto the split to renew criticism of her self-characterisation as a Christian mother and her campaigning on a God, motherland and family platform, with gay rights activists also saying she and her ruling rightwing Brothers of Italy (FdI) party should stop policies against the registration of gay marriage and surrogacy outside Italy.
