Anna Wintour’s daughter Bee Shaffer and Franco Carrozzini split
Bee Shaffer and her husband, Francesco Carrozzini, have split after nearly eight years of marriage, Page Six can reveal.
The daughter of Vogue doyenne Anna Wintour tied the knot with the son of Franca Sozzani, the late editor-in-chief of Vogue Italia, in July 2018, making the marriage a true fashion union.
The couple, who share a four-year-old son, told Page Six that they remain “best of friends.”
“After ten wonderful years together, we have decided to separate,” they said in a statement. “Although our career paths led us in different directions, we remain the very best of friends and devoted, committed parents to our son. This is the only statement we will make, and we respectfully ask for privacy.”
Although there had been rumblings about their marriage over the past few months as they were rarely seen together, Bee and Francesco posed together at the Met Gala just last week, where she still wore her wedding band.
A few weeks beforehand, Bee had joined her mother and sister-in-law, Elizabeth Cordry Shaffer, at the NYC premiere of “The Devil Wears Prada ” at Lincoln Center.
Bee, 38, is a producer for ATG Entertainment in New York and is known for her work on Broadway productions including the 2022 revival of “Plaza Suite”, the 2023-2024 production of “Appropriate” and the hit musical “Parade.”
She and Francesco, 43, divided their time between NYC and Italy, where he works as a filmmaker and director.
The pair were first romantically linked in 2016 and wed at Wintour’s estate in Mastic, Long Island, in front of 150 guests, who were, of course, banned from posting pics on social media. Actor Colin Firth officiated, reading quotes from both Wintour and Sozzani, who died from lung cancer at age 66 in December 2016.
They later held a second celebration in Portofino, Italy.
Page Six announced that Bee was expecting their first child in July 2021, and Bee gave birth to a son that October.
Bee is one of Wintour’s two children with her ex-husband, noted psychiatrist David Shaffer, who died in October 2023 at age 87. Their son, Charles, is also a doctor in NYC specializing in psychiatry,
In 2014, Bee opened up to Grazia about what having Wintour as a mom is really like. She revealed that her mom “became more famous” when “The Devil Wears Prada” came out. (Meryl Streep plays a parody of a Wintour-esque fashion magazine editor in the film.) Wintour found it “interesting” that people viewed her as “very cold” upon its release.
“But I know that she’s the most generous person that you will ever meet,” Bee added. “It’s crazy, but she will put everyone else before herself. So I know that that’s who she is. She’s also efficient; she gets bored easily and wants to get things done. But, she’s a boss!”
