Who is Rita Bonaccorso?
Rita Bonaccorso is the ex-wife of Totò Schillaci . She was born in 1967, and before getting married she worked as a hairdresser and stylist. It is known that she was also related to the footballer Gigi Lentini, who played for Torino and then for Milan.
Rita married Schillaci in 1987 and as a result of that love her children were born : Mattia and Jessica , with whom, despite being separated from their mother, she maintained a close relationship.
Rita and Schillaci’s separation occurred eight years later, after multiple betrayals by the Italian. In an interview with Fuorigioco , Rita recalled that period: “We got married in 1987, when Totò was playing for Messina, and we separated in 1995. We were too jealous of each other. He cheated on me, but I was convinced that he would never do it,” she recalled.
After his failed relationship with Rita, the former footballer decided to give love a new chance with Barbara Lombardo , a former model and current wife of Schillaci, whom he married in 2012 and later had his daughter, Nicole .
Their love story was born from a long friendship, and together they lived in the countryside of Palermo. During the Italian’s period of illness, his family was a significant support and one of the strong pillars for Schillaci.
