Kirsty Bertarelli, renowned as Britain's wealthiest divorcee, is facing a profound personal crisis following a medical emergency involving her long-term partner, Fabio Boglione. The 62-year-old Argentinian financier suffered a severe stroke, prompting his urgent admission to a Swiss hospital.
The couple, who have been together for over a decade, were in their luxury Swiss residence in St Moritz when the incident occurred. Miss Bertarelli, 52, has remained a constant presence at his bedside since he was hospitalised, a source close to the family confirmed.
A Life of Extraordinary Wealth and Recent Tragedy
Bertarelli's life has been a tapestry of immense fortune and high-profile relationships. Her divorce from Swiss biotech heir Ernesto Bertarelli in 2019 concluded with a settlement rumoured to be one of the largest in British history, securing her vast wealth and properties, including a £70 million mansion in London's Chelsea.
Her partnership with Mr. Boglione, a successful businessman in his own right, has been a central part of her life post-divorce. The couple are frequently seen at elite social events and are known for their extensive art collection and luxurious lifestyle across Europe.
The Gravity of the Situation
Details regarding Mr. Boglione's current condition remain private, with close associates requesting respect for the family's privacy during this challenging time. A stroke, a serious life-threatening medical condition, occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off, requiring immediate and often extensive treatment and recovery.
The news has sent ripples through their wide social circle, with friends and acquaintances expressing their concern and support for the couple. The coming days and weeks are likely to be critical for Mr. Boglione's recovery.
