Pellegrini and Giunta Publish Joint Memoir Revealing Traumatic Birth and Early 'Baby Blues'

The two-voice diary presents a private journey from a discreet courtship to early parenthood shaped by sport.

Overview

  • The couple are promoting their new book, In un tempo solo nostro, a dual-perspective account of their relationship and early months as parents.
  • They recount Matilde’s birth on January 3, 2024 as a 48-hour ordeal that ended in an emergency cesarean after doctors lost the fetal heartbeat.
  • Pellegrini says she experienced intense evening crying consistent with baby blues that did not progress to postpartum depression, noting that breastfeeding helped her feel better.
  • They trace their evolution from athlete–coach to spouses married on August 27, 2022, sharing a Halloween first-kiss anecdote and Giunta’s early habit of hiding in a car trunk to keep the relationship private.
  • Looking ahead, they hope to share their passion for sport with Matilde, though they differ on whether participation should be required.
