Gianluca Vacchi has expressed a desire to tie the knot with his partner Sharon Fonseca following the birth of their baby daughter Blu Jerusalema.
The Italian playboy, 53, and his 25-year-old girlfriend are in the throes of new parenthood after welcoming their bundle of joy into the world in October.
And in an interview with Hello! magazine, the millionaire has revealed that he now wants his daughter to grow up in a ‘traditional’ family, while Sharon has declared that she’s eager to have more offspring with her beau.
Wedding bells: Gianluca Vacchi has expressed a desire to tie the knot with his partner Sharon Fonseca following the birth of their baby daughter Blu Jerusalema
When asked about the prospect of marriage, he said: ‘Although I already feel married to Sharon, I would like my daughter to grow up on a traditional family and yes, I would marry, above all, for Sharon…
‘I want to say I’ll turn up one day with a ring and say: “Sharon, will you marry me right now?” On the other hand, I’d like to wait for Blu to be a little older so that she can be there and remember the wedding of her parents.’
And the couple, who plan to live between Italy and Miami, will likely have a sizeable family during their would-be union, as Sharon wants to have many more offspring.
After being asked if she would like more children, Sharon enthused: ‘Yes, because I am living a dream. I enjoy every second so much that I would do it a thousand times.’

Elsewhere in the interview, Gianluca revealed plans to get more involved with charities and foundations helping children with cleft palate, a condition his own daughter was born with last year.
Last month, he spoke candidly about how the diagnosis was a ‘strong blow for both of us’ and how his ‘head, my soul and my heart immediately went with Blu’.
A cleft lip or palate occurs when the parts of a baby’s face do not join properly during its development in the womb.
Gianluca told Hola! USA: ‘When they told me, my head, my soul and my heart immediately went with Blu, but also with all the children who can have the same condition and who are not lucky enough of having resources like us.
Tough: The millionaire and his model girlfriend went on talk about Blu’s birth, with Sharon explaining she had to have an emergency C-section after three days of labour
Recovery: In November, Sharon revealed that she has stopped using her phone and even forgets to drink water as she recovers from her C-section
‘The operation consists of opening the palate and suturing the muscles that did not close naturally during pregnancy. But, of course, it is a surgery that involves anaesthesia, and Blu is only a few months old.
‘Although the doctors have explained to us that once the problem is corrected, she will be able to lead a completely normal life. Thank God, she looks a lot more like her mother.’

The model said Gianluca ‘could only cry and cry,’ when he saw his daughter for the first time and managed to say to Sharon: ‘She is doing well and she is beautiful, amore.’
Gianluca also expressed his hopes of ‘combining my work with dedicating as much time as possible to my daughter to see her grow up and be with her’.
In November, Sharon revealed that she has stopped using her phone and even forgets to drink water as she recovers from her C-section.
She wrote on Instagram: ‘Thank you guys for the love we have received.
‘I don’t lie if I tell you that this is the first time in a week I put on clothes other than my pjs, and that I haven’t used my phone the whole week, or sometimes I forget to even drink water, while recovering from a c-section.
‘But honestly, I’m enjoying every little second of it. It’s been a week… and I feel nostalgic that time is flying already!!’
The happy couple are enjoying parenthood following the birth of their daughter, with Sharon proclaiming that Gianluca is the ‘most amazing father’.
