"I'm very proud of her, that she's standing up for herself. You know, she's 25 years old and she's starting to enjoy life more. I want to show her what life is! I just want her to be happy."

Matteo is more than happy now that his crush since five years ago is his girlfriend.

"She's just an amazing person. She's just amazing. Words can't explain how amazing she is. She's very good, she's nice."
