Diletta Leotta and Ex Can Yaman Awkwardly Reunite at Elodie's 35th Birthday Dinner

Elodie celebrated her 35th birthday surrounded by some of her closest friends—including TV presenter Diletta Leotta. Before hitting the club for a night of dancing, the group had dinner at a restaurant in Milan, where, by pure coincidence, Can Yaman—Leotta’s ex-boyfriend—was also dining just a few tables away.

On May 3rd, Elodie Canini (yes, her real last name is Canini, not Di Patrizi) turned 35. To celebrate, the singer organized a party in Milan with her inner circle, including her close friend Diletta Leotta. But during the festivities, the night nearly took a dramatic turn.

Elodie chose a club in Milan’s Lambrate district for her big night out. She partied with her best friends, although her boyfriend, Andrea Iannone, couldn’t attend due to work commitments abroad, according to Oggi. Among the guests was TV presenter Diletta Leotta, who had previously chosen Elodie to be her maid of honor at her wedding to soccer player Loris Karius.

But the night didn’t go entirely as planned. According to Oggi, what could’ve been an awkward moment—or as they put it, a “diplomatic incident”—was narrowly avoided. Before heading to the club, Elodie, Leotta, and their group had dinner at Casa Giardino, a restaurant in Milan. By chance, Can Yaman happened to be there too, sitting just a few tables away. The Turkish actor famously dated Leotta in a much-publicized relationship that was often questioned for its authenticity.

Diletta Leotta and Can Yaman: A Love Story That Captivated the Spotlight

Rumors of a romance between Diletta Leotta—who had just come out of a relationship with boxer Daniele Scardina—and Can Yaman began circulating in January 2021. Things became more serious when paparazzi photos emerged, followed by an official Instagram post from Yaman himself. “It’s a loyal kind of love, and I take full responsibility for it,” he told Vanity Fair at the time.

There were even whispers of a possible engagement, but it never happened. The relationship lasted around ten months. In September 2021, Leotta opened up about the breakup on Verissimo, saying, “It’s a difficult time—we’re far apart.”
