Overview
- Balti told Giulia Salemi on the podcast Non lo faccio x moda that she and Canalis are no longer as close and that diverging political views and values are the main cause.
- She emphasized there is no personal hostility and said Canalis sent an affectionate message during Balti’s illness, which Balti described as a mature gesture.
- Observers had noted that the two had unfollowed each other on Instagram, a visible sign that fueled public speculation about their split.
- Balti said she sometimes unfollowed accounts to avoid upsetting content and did not know at the time that profiles can be muted, a detail that complicated online readings of the rift.
- Coverage links the distance back to 2022 public comments by Canalis about the ‘politically correct’ debate and positions Balti described as more progressive, and it places the split in a wider pattern of public friendship breakups in celebrity circles.
