Alessia Russo’s Brother Gio Steals Spotlight with Love Island Bombshell Entrance

So, you know how Alessia Russo is getting ready to lead England into the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025? Well, it turns out she's not the only Russo making headlines this summer. Her older brother, Giorgio – or Gio as he’s known – has just entered the Love Island villa as a late bombshell, and the timing couldn’t be more dramatic.

Just days before England kick off their Euro campaign, Gio walks into the ITV2 reality show, ready to find love, charm the nation, and soak up some sunshine. It’s quite the contrast: while Alessia is training intensely with the Lionesses in Switzerland, her brother is busy preparing for romantic drama under the Majorcan sun.

Alessia, being the supportive sibling she is, has already spoken out. She’s a big fan of Love Island and watches the show every year, so she’s actually buzzing about Gio’s appearance. According to Gio, she told him she thinks he could do well – and you can hear the pride in his voice when he talks about her support.

Now, Gio’s no stranger to sports himself. He once played non-league football, and the whole Russo family is steeped in athletic tradition. Their dad, Mario, is a local football legend – the all-time top scorer for Met Police FC. Their other brother, Luca, represented England in track and field. It's a family built on drive and passion.

Even though Gio now lives in Sydney after traveling across Southeast Asia, he remains deeply connected to his roots. When Alessia won the Champions League with Arsenal, he posted the most heartwarming tribute, saying how proud he was of her, even if it didn’t make him any better at football.

His entry into Love Island adds an unexpected twist to the Russo family summer. While Alessia leads England against top teams like France, the Netherlands, and Wales, Gio will be navigating the game of love on national TV. And sure, he might miss some of her matches – but he’s clearly still cheering her on in spirit.

As far as Gio’s ideal match goes, he’s looking for someone who gets the importance of sport in his life. They don’t need to know all the rules of football, but showing a little interest matters. And above all, he wants someone who values family. "I’m sick of being the 7th wheel in my own family," he joked – which just makes him that much more relatable.

With this double Russo spotlight – Alessia chasing Euro glory and Gio chasing love – it’s going to be a summer to remember for the Russo household. Whether it’s on the pitch or the patio, they’re both out to win hearts.
