Eva Herzigová married Giorgio Marsiaj in Turin, Italy, on Saturday, July 11, ending a 25-year relationship with a private family ceremony that was kept under wraps until a notice from the City of Turin made it public. The wedding brought together their three sons and about 50 family members and close friends.
Church of San Vito
The religious ceremony took place at the Church of San Vito, where the church was decorated with white and peach roses. Herzigová was escorted down the aisle by her father, wore a boho-inspired midi dress by Lanvin, and finished the look with sandals embellished with delicate bows at the toe, a softly styled updo, and a classic bouquet of white flowers.
Marsiaj arrived shortly before the ceremony in an Aston Martin V8 with the couple's three sons: George, 18, Philip, 15, and Edward, 12. Rain greeted the newlyweds as they stepped outside after the service, then the day moved to Palazzo Carignano for the civil ceremony before ending with a champagne toast and wedding reception at Ristorante Del Cambio.
Varigotti in Liguria
Herzigová and Marsiaj first met in 2001 in Varigotti in Liguria, when she was stranded there because of the worldwide air travel shutdown following the September 11 terrorist attacks. That long timeline gives the marriage a simple reading: this was not a sudden romance, but a formal close to a relationship that had already become a family unit before the vows.
The guest list kept the event in the same lane, with Marpessa Hennink, Carmen Kass, David Brown, Jill Cooper, Mariacarla Boscono, and Francesca Barra among the roughly 50 attendees. Herzigová’s name still carries the weight of the Wonderbra campaign and the Wonderbra 'Hello Boys' advertisement, but this wedding was less about a public image than a private milestone that finally matched the length of the relationship.
Prague in 2011
The story also carries friction: in 2011, paparazzi photographed Marsiaj in Prague with another woman, and Herzigová later said on Belve that she stayed “for the children.” That detail sits uneasily beside the wedding, which followed years of private life, three sons, and a relationship that had already outlasted more public scrutiny than most couples face.
For readers, the takeaway is straightforward: the headline is not a new romance, but the formalization of one that had been functioning for 25 years. The unanswered piece is the motive for marrying now, and the ceremony itself gives no public explanation beyond the fact that it finally happened.
