Who is Bastian Muller, the latest flame of Ilary Blasi (who dreams of Sal Da Vinci singing at her wedding)

A flash on the left ring finger, an unambiguous caption and Paris as the backdrop: sometimes, more than a press release, it is the images that tell a decisive moment. In the realm of gossip, photos are worth as much, if not more, than words, and those published by Ilary Blasi between the end of 2025 and the beginning of 2026 seem to clearly indicate the arrival of marriage with German entrepreneur Bastian Müller.

The recent trajectory of the Roman host intertwines personal rebirth, legal disputes, and a now-established emotional bond. After weeks of rumors and romantic getaways, a diamond has become the "silent protagonist" of this phase. The first hints surfaced between December 2025 and January 2026, when a ring appeared in more than one shot on Instagram, fueling speculation of an imminent "yes."

The turning point came during the Valentine's Day 2026 weekend: a photo at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, accompanied by the phrase "My forever Valentine", highlighted a classic engagement solitaire. Unlike past rumors — notably the "fake" proposal on Lake Como in May 2025, which was quickly denied — the signal this time was direct and intentional, entrusted to Blasi herself. But who is the man who has brought a smile back to Ilary's life? Bastian Müller, an entrepreneur based in Frankfurt with a background as a model, entered her life in 2022, amid the turbulent separation from Francesco Totti.

In an interview on Verissimo in January 2025, Blasi described him with sobriety, calling him a "surprise" and a true "added value". No fairy tale rhetoric or the label of "savior": rather, it is the portrait of a mature relationship that makes her feel good and has been warmly welcomed by her family. For the host, Müller represents the beginning of a new chapter, after having reordered personal and professional priorities and distanced herself from the shadow of the past. However, there remains a formal aspect to contend with. Next to the sparkle of the jewel, the rigorous calendar of Italian justice runs. The legal separation from Totti marks the timeline: a key hearing in court is set for March 21, 2026. Not a mere detail, but the turning point destined to guide the timing of any new official union. Until then, Ilary seems determined to enjoy her "added value", letting the ring — more than any word — speak for her.

Among the curiosities related to the wedding reception, the name of Sal Da Vinci also emerges. The host shared an episode that could translate into a musical commitment for the day of the vows. "Let me tell you this. Sal Da Vinci was supposed to be present at my daughter's 18th birthday party, Chanel. Then there was no opportunity, so when I saw him at Battiti Live last summer, I reminded him. And he replied: 'The next time you call me, I will come.' So there is a promise. But it depends on who gets married first between me and Selvaggia," she joked.

Who is Bastian Müller really? Today, March 11, Bastian Müller Pettenpohl turns 39 years old.

German, he was born in Wächtersbach, about 60 kilometers from Frankfurt. He comes from a family that has managed Pettenpohl, a company specializing in drilling and excavation for wells, for generations. Little is known about his private life. The only known ex-partner is Claudia Aquino, with whom he had a brief relationship shortly before meeting the showgirl.

The story with Ilary emerged publicly in November 2022 thanks to the weekly magazine «Chi», and was officially confirmed only in January 2023. It is unclear whether the relationship began before or after the separation from Francesco Totti, as the first meetings took place away from the spotlight. Today, although they live in different cities, the two spend a lot of time together: during the divorce, Bastian has been a point of reference for the host, accompanying her to court and facilitating dialogue with her ex-husband.
