Social media often makes us long for an idyllic life, an ideal relationship, and an existence surrounded by luxury and all the goals society sets at an early age. It seemed this standard was set by the love story between the Italian blogger Chiara Ferragni and the rapper Fedez.

Attractive, wealthy, famous, and powerful, they became global superstars by sharing their daily lives (and later, their children’s) on social media. They appeared to be the perfect couple, with the perfect job, the perfect house, and the perfect family. However, we know that perfection is not inherent to human beings, and a few months ago, ‘the Ferragnez’ clan stopped shining as brightly as they once did.

Following Chiara’s financial scandals and Fedez’s health issues, the couple agreed that their relationship had worn out over time, leading them to take a break on February 2024. But what has happened since? Why do they keep making headlines? Why have they stopped showing their children on social media? To understand this better, we need to create a timeline of their relationship and current status.

How Did Fedez and Chiara Ferragni Meet?

Fedez and Chiara met at a dinner with friends in 2015, where they first connected, as Ferragni was interested in his music.

A few months later, Fedez released a song that became a summer hit in Italy, ‘Vorrei ma non posto’ with J-Ax. In it, he dedicated a verse to Chiara: “Chiara Ferragni’s dog has a Vuitton bow tie and a collar brighter than an Elton John jacket.” This reference led to them continuing to talk and stay in touch.

When Did They Start Dating?

It was a few months after their initial conversations, in 2016, when the influencer and the rapper began to openly show that they were dating. In October of that year, the media captured the couple, and from then on, they started posting photos together on social media, confirming their relationship.

When Did They Get Married?

In 2017, Fedez used his concert at the Arena di Verona, coinciding with Chiara’s birthday, to propose to her to the tune of «Favor The Feelings,» a song he wrote for her. The moment was broadcast live, making thousands of fans believe in love again.

The couple married in Sicily, in the town of Noto, specifically at the stunning Palazzo Duzecio, on September 1, 2018. The celebration continued at the boutique hotel Dimora delle Balze. Chiara wore an impressive haute couture design by Maria Grazia Chiuri, Dior’s creative director.

When Did Fedez and Chiara Ferragni Have Their Children?

Fedez and Chiara welcomed their first child, Leone Lucia Ferragni, on March 19, 2018, in West Hollywood, Los Angeles, just a few months before their wedding. Three years later, their daughter Vittoria Lucia Ferragni was born in Milan, on March 23, 2021.

When and Why Did They Separate?

Following the release of the documentary FALSSISIMO by Italian paparazzo Fabrizio Corona, many unanswered questions about Chiara Ferragni and Fedez’s separation and divorce are now starting to surface.

When the couple announced their split in February 2024, the cause of the breakup was initially linked to the Pandoro incident, which allegedly led to their growing distance, with Fedez not offering Ferragni the same support she had given him throughout their six years of marriage.

While it originally seemed that legal issues and Chiara’s reputation were the primary reasons behind the separation, recent «leaks» have revealed that Fedez had been involved in a parallel relationship with Italian designer Angelica Montini, suggesting that the situation is far more complex than initially thought.

Ferragni reportedly didn’t find out about the affair until December 2024, when Fedez confessed that before their marriage, he had asked Montini whether she truly wanted to be with him or would leave everything behind. These revelations are documented in FALSSISIMO, prompting Ferragni to release a statement sharing her current feelings on the matter.
