Former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi has announced he is engaged to a woman almost 50 years younger than him - an age gap he admitted was "a little excessive".
Speaking on one of his own TV channels, the tycoon, 76, said he was due to marry his 27-year-old girlfriend Francesca Pascale.
He told an interviewer: "Yes, I'm engaged, to a Neapolitan (a person from Naples). It's official. She is so much younger that there is an age difference of 49 years between me and her - so a little excessive.
He added: "She is 27-years-old, she is called Francesca and she is a beautiful girl, beautiful from the outside, but even more beautiful inside.
"She brings continuous joy. She's very close to me, she loves me very much and I love her back."
Mr Berlusconi has been married and divorced twice and has five children.
In October, he was sentenced to four years in prison for tax fraud connected to his television channels.
At a separate trial that month, he denied hosting raunchy parties, having sex with an underage girl and abusing his powers by pressuring police.
We should give the guy a break; at 76, you need all the love you're ever gonna get. At an age when old folks are getting dumped in retirement homes, Berlusconi is getting love.
Everyone should just back off!
