January 15 was no ordinary birthday for Bianca Guaccero. The television presenter and actress turned 45 — and, true to her personality, she chose to share the moment with her followers using the tool she knows best: irony.
On Instagram, Bianca posted a light-hearted, self-mocking video. Smiling, she approaches a birthday cake topped with 35 candles, ready to blow them out. But then the number changes — the three becomes a four. Her smile fades instantly. She steps away in mock disappointment, only to return moments later with a playful pout and blow out the candles anyway. The clip delighted fans, offering a genuine and humorous glimpse into her relationship with the passing of time.
But behind that cheerful social-media moment, something much bigger was quietly taking shape.
Giovanni Pernice’s Birthday Surprise
What truly made the day unforgettable was the surprise planned by her partner, Giovanni Pernice. First came a public declaration: an Instagram story featuring Bianca’s photo, accompanied by the message “Happy birthday to the most beautiful woman in the world”, followed by a heart and the words “I love you.”
Then came the mystery.
The full story emerged during a live radio appearance on Un Giorno da Pecora on Rai Radio 1, hosted by Giorgio Lauro and Geppi Cucciari. Calling in from abroad, Bianca revealed — step by step — the surprise that had left her genuinely stunned.
“I’m on the Champs-Élysées in Paris right now,” she explained, laughing.
“My boyfriend surprised me. He woke me up at 6:30 this morning and said, ‘Come with me.’ He told me we were going to visit his relatives in Palermo. Instead, we went to the airport — and when I saw we were boarding an Air France flight, I understood exactly where we were going…”
Paris, Romance… and a Suspenseful Question
Her story instantly captured the imagination of the radio hosts and listeners. After all, when a man takes a woman to Paris — strolling along the Champs-Élysées, no less — it often raises one inevitable question: was there a ring involved?
Caught off guard but smiling, Bianca handled the moment with her trademark elegance and a touch of playful mischief.
“I’ll pass you my partner,” she joked.
“He’s here with me — he’ll answer.”
Giovanni Pernice, however, chose to keep the mystery alive. Rather than confirm or deny anything, he laughed and replied with a perfectly timed joke:
“Let’s play the advertising jingle…”
No answers. No promises. Just laughter — and romance hanging in the air.
A Birthday to Remember
And so the curtain closed on a birthday that began with irony and ended in Paris. No grand announcements, no dramatic declarations — just affection, humour, and a surprise trip to one of the most romantic cities in the world.
For Bianca Guaccero, turning 45 begins this way: with a smile, a little irony, a lot of love, and Paris as the perfect backdrop for a story that, for now, is still being written.
