In his private life Francesco is married to the former showgirl and TV presenter Ilary Blasi. They have two children, Cristian who was born in November 2005 and a daughter, Chanel, born in May 2007. The 'Tottis' are an Italian equivalent of the English 'Beckhams' and their lives, both professionally and privately are a constant source of material for tabloids and gossip magazines. They are adept at using this attention to their advantage and when they married in 2005 their wedding was aired on TV and all the profits were donated to charity.
