Colin Firth's wife admits to having an affair with the couple's alleged stalker.

Love is a battlefield of scorching heartbreak and betrayal (happy Friday), and few know that truth this week more than actor Colin Firth. This week Livia Giuggioli, an Italian movie producer and Firth&#39;s wife of over 20 years confessed she had an affair with the couples&#39; alleged stalker.   Basically, a few years back the couple separated for a few weeks to take space and sort out some marital issues. This in itself would be fairly run-of-the-mill. But alas, during that time Giuggioli had a spicy fling with journalist Marco Brancaccia.At the time of the affair, he was a close friend of the couple, but his brief interim with Giuggioli quickly plunged him into the embarrassing realm of alleged stalker.   According to recently leaked court documents, Brancaccia lodged a &quot;frightening campaign of harassment&quot; against the pair after they reunited in 2016. Guiggoli&#39;s admission about the affair has come as a direct result of the couple&#39;s legal action against Brancaccia.&quot;For obvious reasons, the Firths have never had any desire to make this matter public. 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,&rdquo; one of Firth&#39;s representatives told HuffPost in a statement on Friday.   Brancaccia is currently the subject of a police investigation, and not only denies the allegations, but claims Giuggioli fabricated the claims in order to cover up the affair (which occurred in the span of 2015-2016).&quot;We were romantically involved, she wanted to leave Colin for me,&rdquo; he said in a statement to The Times. &quot;In a year she sent me hundreds of messages of love, photos and videos, even a diary​​​​​.&quot;He went on to add that the couple&rsquo;s marriage had &ldquo;been over for years.&quot;   No matter what comes of this whole messy ordeal, I&#39;ll personally be holding out for Firth to play himself in a dramatic movie rendition.
