Met in early 2009 and began Dating sometime between August and October 2009, Trouble brewed and it was a short term relationship.
*****
The pair have been dating since June 2011 after they met at Milan’s trendy Lotus nightclub, though they were reported to have split last month.
Their relationship has survived the Manchester City madman's alleged flings with hooker Jenny Thompson, porn actress Holly Henderson and PA Chloe Evans - and claims that Raffaella once attended one of the 'Bunga Bunga' parties hosted by former Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi.
Raffaella, 24, briefly dated Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009 and later said: “These two are the only two players with whom I was in a relationship, and if you really want to know, Balotelli is better than Ronaldo. In every respect, even in bed."
After her boyfriend was fined in March for attending a strip club 36 hours before City played Bolton in a vital Premier League game, boss Roberto Mancini urged him to calm down by marrying Raffaella, who rose to semi-fame in Italy as a contestant on reality shows and once joked that she would auction off her virginity for 1m Euros.
But she said: "It is too soon to get married, we are still very young. It is important that first, one is settled in their work, and then later why not?
"For me, he can go to a strip club, if he does nothing wrong, with friends, but I have to say that the end always comes back to me because I am his favourite."
Aww - now that's what we call romance for you.
