We found our new celebrity crush thanks to the 2020 Polish film 365 DNI, or 365 Days as it’s known in English.
Italian actor Michele Morrone plays Sicilian mafia boss Massimo in the film series, and after doing a little cyberstalking, we learned that Michele has two beautiful kids... and is currently single!
Michele Morrone's kids take after their father.
Michele welcomed son Marcus in 2014 and son Brando in 2017 with ex-wife Rouba Saadeh. The young boys clearly share a close bond with their dad, who fawned over them in a July 2019 Instagram post. "I have brought two lives into the world #nothingelsematters," he wrote in Italian.
Underneath a 2017 photo in which he’s holding his firstborn, Michele’s words roughly translate to: "Look at the [infinity] of this sea, Marcus... the same infinite love that I feel for you."
Given the adoration he has for his family, it wasn’t surprising to hear that Michele’s split from Rouba in 2018 hit the singer hard. "A year-and-a-half ago, I was about to leave everything, I didn't want to act anymore. I was in a severe state of depression after divorcing my wife," he admitted to social media followers in February.
"I found work as a gardener in a remote village of 1,000 inhabitants because I had no more money in my pocket," Michele explained. "But life is strange, when you're down destiny puts the right train in front of you and if you're strong you can take it. Always believe in yourself... ALWAYS."
For fans desperate to know the status of Michele’s dating life in 2024, the model is reportedly single, meaning he’s not hooking up with his co-stars Anna-Maria Sieklucka or Megan Fox.
Instead, he is focused on being a dad — what he considers to be his most difficult job.
"Well, it’s actually the most difficult job. My kids are seven and three years old, and they don’t know anything about life," he told Elle India in 2021. "They’re like sponges; they just absorb everything that you do and say. So, you have to be really, really, careful. The most important thing that I am teaching my kids is to have passion. I am not the kind of parent who would want to push them to be a doctor or a lawyer. I just want them to be passionate about what they do."
