The 78-year-old Michele Placido, known as a heartthrob, has tied his life to 41-year-old Federica, who waited years for a marriage proposal. Federica has fully devoted herself to her husband and raising their son, finding happiness in family life and supporting her older spouse.

Michele and Federica married when their son turned six. Despite their significant age difference, Federica has always supported Michele, accepting him as he is and dedicating herself to family life. She set aside her ambitions, choosing the role of wife and mother, surrounding her family with warmth and care.

Photos of the couple have sparked mixed reactions online. Many commenters expressed surprise and disapproval, pointing out the age gap:

“I’ll probably never accept couples like this. They have nothing to talk about. There’s a gap between Placido and his wife.” “The main thing is that they are comfortable together.” “I love this actor, but I can’t accept such an age difference.” “I adore Placido.” “Beautiful woman, but couldn’t she find a younger man?” “Would she have married him if Michele were just a simple retiree?”

Despite the criticism, Michele Placido’s fans emphasize that the most important things in a relationship are love and support. Michele and Federica, regardless of others’ opinions, find happiness in family life, showing that true feelings aren’t bound by age or prejudice.
