Susanna Riva Giulia Stabile, winner of Amici and subsequent host of Tu sì que vales , decided a few months ago to leave Italy for London, where she is dedicating herself fully to studying and practicing dance. After working with Spanish singer Rosalía during a European tour, the young woman has chosen the British capital as a new base for professional and, apparently, personal growth.
During a recent episode of Verissimo , the dancer hinted at a new relationship, speaking in general terms of "love" without revealing further details. Shortly afterward, a photo posted to her partner's Instagram stories highlighted the nature of the relationship, sparking interest from fans and the media.
The first meeting in London: how the story began
Giulia and Kalifa first met in 2025, at a dance workshop organized by the Kadence UK collective . Both were present as teachers and choreographers, and their shared passion for hip-hop, urban, and contemporary dance created an immediate connection.
After that first contact, they continued to collaborate on various projects, but preferred to keep their relationship out of the spotlight for several months.
The 2026 Ballon d'Or party
The decisive moment occurred during the 2026 Ballon d'Or gala in London. Both were present at the party organized to celebrate the sporting event, and Kalifa shared a photo on Instagram with Giulia at her side. The image, taken in an elegant yet informal atmosphere, confirmed their union in the public eye, marking the breaking point with the previous secrecy Giulia had maintained about her private life.

Giulia Stabile: From the Italian Stage to the London Scene
Giulia Stabile, 24, ended her relationship with singer Sangiovanni in the summer of 2023, after about three years of dating. The separation was an opportunity for her to reconsider her priorities, prompting her to take a qualitative leap in her dance career. After leaving her Italian television commitments, she accepted an invitation to join the Kadence UK collective , where she found a creative and welcoming environment that allowed her to freely express her talent.
Future prospects and absence from Italian TV
Giulia currently doesn't foresee an imminent return to Maria De Filippi's programs, focusing instead on her artistic growth in London. Her journey has been enriched by the experience of touring with Rosalía, which opened her eyes to the international dance scene. With Kalifa at her side, the two young stars are building a shared future, both personally and professionally, participating in workshops, performances, and, as demonstrated, high-profile events such as the Ballon d'Or.
