Recently, Benardski was interviewed by Gianluca Gazzoli's podcast, and he talked about why his wife Veronica was reluctant to date him in the first place.

Benadeski, 31, currently plays in Bologna, and he admitted that his girlfriend was not willing to be with him at the time. Benardski explained that his wife was reluctant to date him at first because he was younger than her.

Veronica was born in 1985 and is 40 years old, while Bairdeski was born in 1994 and is 31 years old: "I met my wife 10 years ago. We have mutual friends, but we have never met before. I like her. Now I want to say one thing, although she might kill me, I still have to say it, and be proud of it: I'm a little younger than her."

The couple first met by phone and didn't meet for a long time: "We talked for two months, and I was in training camp. I got her phone number and then started it. There were endless calls, but never met. We soon realized that there was something special between each other, otherwise we wouldn't have chatted on the phone for two or three hours in a row. "

Finally, they finally met: "But she didn't want to be with me at first because I was too young, and she was older and had been dating people older than her. She told me directly: You are handsome, good, everything is good, but you are too young. But I didn't give up, and in the end she agreed. "

Veronica is an actor and has starred in works such as "Friends" and "Living in the Cell". The two began dating in 2016, but broke up briefly in 2017, and later reunited and never separated again.

In 2019, they welcomed their first daughter, Deva, the name was given by their mother, because Veronica has had a deep affection for the moon since she was a child, and Deva means "Moon Goddess" in Indian language. In 2021, when their second daughter Lena was born, Benardski was playing in the European Cup with the Italian national team.

On July 13, 2021, after winning the 2020 European Cup, Benardski married Veronica at the Cathedral of Carrara and held a baptism ceremony for his second daughter on the same day.
