The sexual relationship reportedly began when Giuggioli temporarily separated from Firth, 57.<br /><br /><br /><br />The couple has been married for 20 years, and shares two sons: Luca, 16, and Matteo, 13.<br /><br />She claimed that after she rekindled her romance with the Hollywood actor, Brancaccia began threatening her via phone calls and texts.<br /><br />“A few years ago Colin and Livia privately made the decision to separate. During that time Livia briefly became involved with former friend Mr Brancaccia. The Firths have since reunited,” said a spokesperson for the couple. “Subsequently, Mr Brancaccia carried out a frightening campaign of harassment over several months, much of which is documented. For obvious reasons, the Firths have never had any desire to make this matter public.”<br /><br />Brancaccia told The Times that Firth’s wife had made up the stalker claims against him in order to cover up their affair, which he said occurred between 2015 and 2016.<br /><br /><br /><br />He claimed that his “stalking” consisted of two WhatsApp messages and one email after Giuggioli dumped him in June 2016.<br /><br />Stay with Radar for updates.<br /><br />We pay for juicy info!
