Francesco Cina is not dating Roberta whatsoever, I felt like we need to make that crystal clear, someone one asked us if Roberta had a son, and the answer is no she doesn’t, the beautiful handsome boy with Vinci in many photos on Instagram is not her child, but Francesco Cina’s son, he and his wife former tennis player Susanna Attili are the proud parents of not just one but two amazing children.
