"Today, if I wanted my children to live in Italy, I know they would be entitled to only one parent's assistance, even if there are two people who can care for them. If they get sick, only I can take them to the hospital because my husband, Victor Allen, does not appear in his passport, which is insane." This is why, in a lengthy interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Tiziano Ferro stated that he does not intend to give his children an Italian passport. It is his way of protesting against Italian law, which denies homosexual couples the right to co-parenting. "If I let my children in with Italian passports, I would only get disadvantages, whereas as Americans, I am quiet because I know Victor will take care of them if I come on tour. It may appear insignificant, still it makes me suffer incredibly." The singer-songwriter, who is 42 years old, has sold 20 million records and since 2021 is a voting member of the Grammy Awards jury. He currently resides in Los Angeles with his husband Victor, with whom he has two children, Andres and Margherita.
