The tragic news was shared by the Neapolitan footballer himself through a message posted on social media, asking for respect and silence in a moment of absolute pain.

Izzo’s announcement: “He will remain forever in our hearts”

It was Armando Izzo who broke the silence with words filled with suffering and dignity. In the post published on Instagram, the footballer wanted to clarify the situation immediately to avoid rumors or distorted reconstructions:

“Before any false speculation arises, my partner Raffaella Fico and I wish to communicate that we have suffered a great loss. Unfortunately, our 5-month-old baby has left us too soon and will remain forever in our hearts.”

A direct, essential message that tells of a devastating loss that came just a few weeks after the official announcement of the pregnancy.

The request for respect and silence

In his statement, Izzo also wanted to make a clear appeal to the media, fans, and public opinion, asking for discretion and sensitivity:

“In this moment of immense pain, we ask for respect, silence, and sensitivity, avoiding any form of speculation about such a delicate loss. The only strength that allows us to move forward is our love. Thank you.”

Words that reflect the couple’s desire to live through their grief away from the spotlight, protecting a suffering that belongs exclusively to their private sphere.

A story interrupted too soon

The loss of the baby abruptly interrupts the story of a relationship that Izzo and Raffaella Fico had described as a moment of newfound serenity. After the first rumors circulated during the summer, the couple made their relationship official last October, sharing some photos together on social media.

The following November came the announcement of the pregnancy, accompanied by images of the showgirl’s baby bump. Izzo had also revealed that he had already chosen the baby’s name: Vincenzo, a tribute to his father who died prematurely at 29 from leukemia, when the footballer was only ten years old.

A family already marked by complex stories

For Armando Izzo, the baby would have been his first son, after two daughters born from his marriage to his ex-wife Concetta. For Raffaella Fico, instead, it would have been her second child after Pia, now thirteen, born from her relationship with Mario Balotelli.

A complex family story, often under the spotlight, which today leaves room only for pain and reflection.

The condolences of the football and entertainment world

In the hours following the announcement, numerous messages of support arrived from the world of football, entertainment, and fans, united in showing affection and solidarity to the couple in such a difficult moment.

A loss that goes beyond sports and celebrity news, touching a universal dimension made of loss, silence, and respect.
