Federica Pellegrini: Jealousy & Matteo Giunta’s Swimmers

Even after eight years of marriage, Federica Pellegrini is jealous of her husband Matteo Giunta: even if she says that she no longer has time to be jealous and that «over the years I have improved, that is, since I have been with him I have improved», he denies it by recounting a series of hilarious episodes to SuperNovawhere the couple was hosted by Alessandro Cattelan.

“Come on, tell me the last time I was jealous,” Federica asked defiantly. Matteo’s response was ready: “Last week.” And, to clarify, he said: «I also have a message, if you want I’ll show it to you. I was in Riccione, I had the Italian swimming championships and he wrote to me something like, now maybe I’m paraphrasing, but: “May I know what my husband does in the evening”. Non-question mark”Giunta said. And Cattelan: «Passive aggressive».

The Olympic champion, however, is keen to point out: «Because he never tells me anything, that is, he’s the one who says: “I’m here, everything’s fine, bye”. You have to think about me at home, right? Because I experienced that environment there as an athlete. Meaning what this one is in the middle of the tub with his asses passing in front of his face. They are all in costume, all beautiful, all splendidshining and he doesn’t tell me anything.”
