The split comes as the 46-year-old prime minister celebrates her first year in office at the head of a right-wing coalition government that has defended the traditional family as one of its policy hallmarks.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Melon i said on Friday she had separated from her television journalist partner Andrea Giambruno, who has drawn criticism in recent weeks for sexist comments. Meloni told reporters last month she should not be judged over Giambruno's remarks and in future would not answer questions about his behaviour.
Meloni and Giambruno, who met in a TV studio in 2014, have a seven-year-old daughter. Giambruno, 42, is the presenter of a news programme transmitted by Mediaset, part of the MFE MFEB.MI media group owned by the heirs of the late Silvio Berlusconi, a former prime minister and Meloni ally.
