What Is The Marital Status of Guendalina?

Why Did Guendalina Ponti's Parents Divorce?

Calo Ponti Sr. and noblewoman Giuliana Fiastri were wed in 1946. They had two children during their married relationship. Their relationship eventually fell apart when Mr. Ponti met the future Houseboat star Sophia Loren while judging a local beauty pageant.

The divorce of her father, Carlo Ponti Sr., and her mother, Giuliana Fiastri, is a movie-worthy story. Gossip rags of the time had their fill of the tale. Her father fell for the gorgeous Sophia Loren and wanted to be with her. 

As he was married to Fiastri and had two children with her, he was bound by the laws of matrimony. There seemed to be no way they could be together. However, Guendalinna's parents were not granted a divorce as it was illegal in the legislature of Italy at the time.

How Hard Did Guendalina's Father Tried Marrying His Starlet Sophia Loren?

Guendalinna's father Carlo truly wanted to marry his beautiful starlet after seeing her while judging a local beauty pageant. Guendalina's father tried to get past this by getting a "Mexican divorce" in 1957 and marrying Loren through a proxy marriage ceremony. Two lawyers did the proxy in Mexico. 

This action backfired as the Italian government did not consider the divorce valid. He and Sophia were later accused of bigamy, and Sophia had to face concubinage charges. They had to get the marriage annulled in 1962 to prevent prosecution in Italy.

Later, her parents and Sophia Loren moved to France and applied for citizenship there. They were able to be divorced in 1965 when all three parties involved rejected their Italian citizenship and took French citizenship. Carlo Ponti was then able to be legally married to the prominent star Sophia Loren in a modest ceremony in 1966. Many considered this to be a remarriage.
