As I delve into the captivating journey of Roberto Rossellini, the son of Hollywood royalty and Swedish screen siren Isabella Rossellini, I find myself in awe of his unique blend of humility, ambition, and resilience. Born into a world where glamour and stardom are the norm, he has managed to carve out his own niche, refusing to be defined solely by his lineage.


Roberto Rossellini, 32, has gotten married to filmmaker Kai Marie.

The son of actress Isabella Rossellini shared the happy news on Instagram on Thursday.

Kai looked stunning in a white gown and veil as Roberto had on a silver tinted black suit.

His grandmother was Ingrid Bergman, a legendary figure in Hollywood, known for her role in Casablanca alongside Humphrey Bogart. His grandfather, similarly renowned, was Roberto Rossellini, an Italian film director famous for directing Paisano.

In August 2023, he proposed to her by giving her a diamond engagement ring while they were both enjoying a glass of wine in a vineyard.

Roberto wrote, ‘Cheers to forever with you @kaixmarie She said yes!’

In 1993, while being engaged to English actor Gary Oldman, Isabella took on the role of adopting Roberto – a fact that became known to many following her appearance in David Lynch’s film “Blue Velvet”.

Isabella also has a daughter named Elettra Rossellini Wiedemann, 39, who also works as a model.

Roberto has done well as a runway model as he has worked for Dolce & Gabbana and Michael Kors. 

He is also interested in photography. 

As an unbridled enthusiast, I find myself compelled to share a captivating tale about the remarkable Isabella Rossellini. Born under the Italian sun in Rome, she entered the world under the name Isabella Fiorella Elettra Giovanna Rossellini. This exceptional woman embarked on her journey as a fashion model for Vogue, gracing its pages with her striking beauty. However, it was not long before she felt the irresistible pull of acting. Her breakthrough role catapulted her to international fame, immortalizing her as the enigmatic figure in Blue Velvet.

In the 1990s, this attractive woman with dark hair made appearances in the movies “Wild At Heart” alongside Laura Dern and “Death Becomes Her” featuring Meryl Streep. (age and beauty description removed for clarity)

And the cover girl has also had some very famous romances.

Isabella was married to the renowned filmmaker Martin Scorsese, famous for his works like GoodFellas and Gangs of New York, between 1979 and 1982.

Then she was married to Jonathan Wiedeman from 1983 until 1986.

She was romantically involved with director David Lynch from 1986 to 1991, and had an engagement with actor Gary Oldman between 1994 and 1996.

Isabella’s parents are even more famous than she is.

Her mother is the late Hollywood Golden Age icon Ingrid Bergman.

She has a late filmmaker as her father, specifically Roberto Rossellini; notable movies under his direction include Stromboli and Paisan.

Ingrid was born in Sweden and took Hollywood by storm with her great looks and screen charisma.

1942’s romantic epic, Casablanca featuring Humphrey Bogart, is her most renowned film. This timeless masterpiece, which unfolds amidst World War II, is often ranked among cinema’s greatest productions ever made.

Furthermore, she appeared in the gripping 1946 espionage film Notorious alongside Cary Grant, as well as the 1944 dark thriller Gaslight, which co-starred Charles Boyer.

In 2017 Roberto talked about becoming a model to Coveteur.

The star commented, “I once pondered if modeling might be a possibility someday, but I never imagined it would be what I’m actively engaged in today.

The story began when a photographer unexpectedly spotted me in New York City, leading to an offer for me to model for L’Officiel Italia. It was amusing because shortly after wrapping up the photoshoot, my mom approached me and said, “You’ve just been randomly scouted. Why don’t you give modeling a try instead?

After reaching out to Ford, I managed to secure employment there a week afterwards. My tenure began in June, and I must say, it’s been an enjoyable experience so far.

Isabella, his mother, believed that modeling would provide an excellent opportunity for him to expand his connections within the fashion industry and gain insight into both fashion and photography.

He shared that he’s picking up bits and pieces about various topics such as fashion, photography, acting in front of the camera, and operating one behind it.

In his own words, Roberto expressed that he doesn’t want others to merely perceive him as the son of famous actresses Isabella and Ingrid. He acknowledges that it carries a certain appeal and is a blessing, but he feels strongly that his individual personality and actions are essential in defining who he is.

“I’m striving to establish my own identity. As a creative individual with a passion for art and modeling, I’m adding yet another facet to myself.

And he wants to use modeling as a platform for people to understand who he is.

He emphasized that while he is indeed Isabella Rossellini’s son, he wants people to see him as Roberto – an individual with his own personality. He finds it intriguing how he’s often categorized based on family ties, but strives to distance himself from such labels whenever possible.
