'Brits have work affairs all the time and cheating was the best thing I ever did'

An infamous mum claimsaffairs are happening in most workplaces in Britain and that cheating was the "best" decision she ever made.

Carla Bellucci opened up about infidelity after labelling it “insane” that Astronomer’s CEO and HR boss both resigned after their Coldplaykiss cam scandal. Speaking to The Mirror, she said: “Everyone in the office has affairs, we all know it. If they were all exposed we would have no working people and everyone would have to resign – it would be a nightmare.”

The former glamour model met her nowhusband Giovanni Pincay in a photography studio before the pair, who were both married to other people, had an affair that lasted ten years.

Carla, who just turned 44, was a single mum throughout most of it but the man she was seeing remained married with a family of his own. However, after a decade of secrecy, Carla exposed the affair in 2019 by sending messages and pictures to Giovanni’s shocked wife.

This eventually led to Carla and Giovanni marrying themselves in 2023 and the couple, who consider themselves to be “soulmates”, share a daughter together called Blu.

This experience made her fascinated by the viral reaction to the Coldplay video involving the former Astronomer employees, but as for why it garnered so much public interest, she offered this theory.

“It is probably because 99% of people can relate and so many people are in situations and just don’t admit to it,” she said. “I think people love to gossip and see people fall, It is life unfortunately.”

Carla, once labelled ‘Britain’s most hated woman’ after her notorious This Morning appearance, said she has been publicly shamed for cheating in the past, but she has no regrets.

She said: “It is simple, people who are happy do not cheat. We cheat because we are looking for something more because our relationship is not right. For me, it was the best decision I ever made because we are happy and live a good life.”

However, she added: “I wouldn’t cheat again, it’s a lot of heartache and people get hurt. But I 100% have no regrets, maybe I could have handled it differently but I never live in regret. Me and Gio were meant to be together, end of!”

Carla and her husband live together in Hithin, Herts, and the mum-of-four believes a lot of people who are cheating want to be caught and that their partners often suspect something, but are too scared to disrupt things.

Offering her own advice, she concluded: “For all you women or men out there that have that gut feeling something is not right, go with it because it’s not.

“Don’t waste your time staying with someone that cheated on you, it will never work. Wake up and move on. At the end of the day you do you, happiness is everything.”
