It bothers me because I have nothing to say. That's it. I am an adult, but it is a matter for adults. I can do nothing about it.
During an interview with Martรญn Cirio, Sabatini addressed the ongoing family tension. "It bothers me because I have nothing to say. That's it. I am an adult, but it is a matter for adults. I can do nothing about it," she stated, emphasizing her inability to influence the situation. She confirmed that communication between them has not resumed, noting, "We are not talking, period. There is no update every two months."

Sabatini also reflected candidly on her experience with pregnancy. Her first child, Gia, with Paulo Dybala, was born on March 2, but the pregnancy itself was a difficult period. "For me it was traumatic. Think about people sharing houses, rooms. Sharing a bathroom is already a lot, it's not so good. Imagine what it's like to share your own body for nine months. There is no escape," she admitted.

She confessed to feeling guilt for not always feeling radiant during her pregnancy, as motherhood is often presented as a woman's most joyful time. "I sometimes I'm afraid to talk about my experience with motherhood because I can't lie. I didn't have such a good time during pregnancy and I found it all very traumatic," Sabatini revealed, contrasting her reality with the idealized narrative.
