Maia Reficco speaks for the first time about her relationship with Franco Colapinto: 'The most special thing in the world'

Actress Maia Reficco has publicly shared her feelings about her relationship with Argentine race car driver Franco Colapinto, describing it as "the most special thing in the world." This marks the first time Reficco has openly discussed her romance with Colapinto.

I could never get angry or nervous in front of someone for doing what they love.

Reficco explained her perspective on supporting Colapinto's racing career, stating, "I could never get angry or nervous in front of someone for doing what they love." She elaborated, "I think for me, watching someone do what they love is the most special thing in the world." This sentiment extends beyond her relationship, as she applies it to watching her brother, Joaquín Reficco, sing or when Lionel Messi plays.

"So when it comes to someone you love, like your partner, all you can wish for is that they are happy and that they can do what they are passionate about," Reficco added. "The truth is, I don't get nervous because he is doing what he loves."

Rumors of a relationship between Reficco and Colapinto began circulating early this year after the driver posted a photo of her wearing his helmet on Instagram. While Colapinto initially stated he was single, the speculation intensified. The relationship was seemingly confirmed in April during Colapinto's roadshow in Palermo, Buenos Aires, where they were seen together and shared photos on social media.

The couple has since been more public, attending the Miami Grand Prix together and even posing for a photo with the Messi family. Reficco's recent comments come as she prepares for the release of her new film, 'The Last Sunrise,' on Prime Video on August 26.
