Instagram Asia Argento has a new man!
The Italian actress, who was most recently linked to the late famed chef Anthony Bourdain, has moved on and is reportedly dating Fabrizio Corona.
In an interview with Domenica In, Argento,43, touched on her dating life, saying she and her fling are still new but that she hopes to see him more.
'We met twice, I hope there is a third," she said Sunday. "I am in Rome, he is in Milan. We are in contact every day, that's okay with me."
Paparazzi crashed the budding couple's first date so they made sure the second was more private, Argento said.
'I made an appointment at my house for fear of the paparazzi. During that meeting I was stunned: he is a sensitive, profound person,' she said of Corona, who is a famed paparazzo himself.
But Argento, who was recently involved with the Me Too Movement followed by a sexual assault accusation, said tabloids should not jump to conclusions about her relationship with Corona.
"Everyone tells me something but I do not listen, is like a buzz. Fallen in love? Please," she said. "I saw him twice and I do not fall in love for a long time. I am intelligent, educated, I can wait."
The two are an item but are not as serious as of now.
