The world knows him as the powerhouse tenor with the infectious laugh, but Ignazio Boschetto, 31, has officially taken on the most EXCLUSIVE role of his life: fatherhood.
In a SOUL-BARING chapter that has left fans REELING with emotion, the Il Volo star has traded the roar of stadium crowds for the gentle lullabies of the nursery. The arrival of Baby Gabriele on September 4, 2025, has turned the singer’s world upside down, marking the culmination of a whirlwind romance that looks like it was plucked straight from a GLAMOROUS Hollywood screenplay.
But the journey to this HEARTBREAKINGLY sweet milestone began beneath the shimmering moon of Lake Como, where Ignazio and his stunning bride, Michelle Bertolini, 31, said “I do” in a ceremony so LAVISH it stopped the local traffic.
THE SECRET ‘I DO’ IN TREMEZZO
REVEALED: While the world’s press was hunting for the trio in the world’s major capitals, Ignazio and Michelle—a former Miss Venezuela and professional tennis star—were tucked away at the Villa Sola Cabiati.
The STARK beauty of the Italian lakeside provided the backdrop for a “total white” wedding that insiders describe as INTIMATE yet GLAMOROUS. With only 50 guests in attendance, the atmosphere was thick with a HARROWING level of emotion as Ignazio delivered his vows.
“He didn’t just promise to love her,” a wedding guest EXCLUSIVEly told the Daily Mail. “He promised to be the anchor she never had. There wasn’t a dry eye in the villa.”
BABY GABRIELE’S ‘SHOCKING’ ARRIVAL
The couple’s joy reached a FURIOUS fever pitch just one year after their nuptials. Baby Gabriele—a name chosen for its STARK spiritual strength—arrived following a pregnancy that was full of surprises.
REVEALED: The couple was initially convinced they were expecting a girl, even picking out the name Bianca. It was a DRAMATIC final scan that revealed they were actually welcoming a son! Ignazio’s mother, Caterina, reportedly had to FURIOUSLY rework the baby’s wardrobe, swapping pink knits for blue just days before the birth.
Now safely home, the new family is enjoying a rare moment of peace before Ignazio rejoins his bandmates, Piero Barone and Gianluca Ginoble, for their LAVISH 2026 World Tour.
