When Evissia Ibiza Altea entered the show in season 1 of Netflix’s ‘Too Hot to Handle: Italy,’ sparks didn’t immediately fly, but she surely made Daniele Iaia turn towards her. Known for his charm and magnetic presence, he was quick to mingle and flirt his way through the villa, already forming connections. On the other hand, she stayed on the sidelines, cautious and observant of him, particularly because one of her fellow co-stars also had her sights on him. The tension of a slow-burning connection simmered between Ibiza and Daniele as they navigated their respective romantic entanglements. Things completely changed when their bond began to deepen as the season unfolded.
Ibiza and Daniele’s Emotional Journey Began With Suppressed Feelings
In the early days, Evissia Ibiza Altea and Daniele Iaia’s romance was already off to a complicated start. Their castmate, Federica, had confessed to her interest in the latter before the former. Besides, when Ibiza became aware of his tendency to charm every girl around, she decided to hold back and observe. However, what she didn’t know at that time was that, despite his flirtation, he was drawn to her from the beginning. As she observed him more, his “cocky” and flirtatious energy made her unsure. When Ibiza and Daniele were paired together for a workshop, they both observed an undeniable chemistry between themselves. However, with the strict rules in place, neither dared to act on their obvious attraction.
Recognizing their inner struggle, Lana encouraged Ibiza to stop holding back and set up a date with Daniele. It aimed to urge the pair to explore the tension pooling between them. The date changed everything because as they sat across from one another, away from all distractions, they finally gave in to the moment and shared their first kiss. Following that, Ibiza only had one more secret to share: she was a mother. She hadn’t revealed it yet and feared that Daniele might not be ready to accept it. To her relief, during the final date, he was mature and accepted the truth without any hesitation after the initial shock. Ultimately, Ibiza and Daniele chose to leave the retreat together, ready to pursue their connection beyond the show.
Ibiza and Daniele Have Decided to Keep Their Relationship Status Private
After the emotional final date, Daniele and Ibiza admitted they genuinely wanted to pursue their relationship beyond the retreat. So, when the show ended, it felt like a fairy tale ending, one that had taken its time to unfold, but promised something real. However, as the reality set in, both the reality stars have left the fans to piece together the status of their relationship. In February 2025, both of them shared pictures wearing a distinctive bracelet. However, speculations have begun since neither Ibiza nor Daniele follows the other on Instagram or tags each other. On the contrary, there is also the fact that she had recently liked one of his photos.
Another conflicting clue comes from a recent post by a star from the show, Carlotta, featuring not just Alessandro, but also Daniele and Ibiza sitting side by side at what seemed very much like a romantic double date. Similarly, another slide showcases both of them with Carlotta and Alessandro, for what likely was a casual lunch. Despite all this, neither Ibiza nor Daniele has addressed the rumours directly. This has only fuelled the mystery, but indicates that they may have chosen to keep the status away from the spotlight. Although any updates of their romance remain under wraps, we can only hope that whatever path Ibiza and Daniele have chosen is the one that brings them both happiness.
Ibiza is a Rising Modeling Star Whose Life Revolves Around Her Son
Effortlessly elegant in front of the lens, Evissia Ibiza Altea has long been in the world of modeling. Her confidence shines through every shot, whether it be her cover appearance for the fashion magazine, MOEVIR, or for beauty brands like Skin Labo. Aside from that, she has posed before the camera for the automotive powerhouse, MINI, and shown her versatility during Milan Fashion Week in January 2024. Most recently, Ibiza turned heads in a bikini shoot for Benegas Management, a media agency. The reality star has also cultivated a significant fan base on social media and currently has over 37K followers on Instagram. One of Ibiza’s recent collaborations on the platform is with G.BRAÏDS, which showcases not just her style but also her influence. In May 2025, she announced her participation in the reality show ‘L’Isola dei Famosi’ or ‘Island of the Famous.’
In her personal life, Ibiza is deeply grounded, and her world revolves around her five-year-old son, Angel Gabriel. She never misses a chance to express her love for him and always keeps him as her top priority. In July 2025, she opened up about her son’s recent surgery. With heartfelt honesty, she stated, “Angel has had her surgery. Eternally grateful that everything turned out smoothly.” Fortunately, Angel is now already recovering, but it also served as a moment that revealed Ibiza’s vulnerability behind her radiant persona. Beyond this, she has a deep love for travel and discovery. She has jetted across the globe to several exotic locations like Marrakesh, Morocco, in October 2024, the City of Love- Paris, France, in June 2025, and the Dominican Republic the following month. Some of Ibiza’s other recent destinations include Ibiza, Spain, Sardinia, Honduras, and many more.
