    “If I had a boyfriend, the first to find out would be my children, who are very attached to me.
    “I think only time will tell what will happen. But it’s a distance with collaboration because Mauro has a contract in Istanbul until May.
    “So what I did was rent an apartment in the same building where he lives.
