Cristian Mascolino Dates Nicole Cena After Split From Soraya Sabetta

The fallout from Temptation Island 2026 didn’t end at the final bonfire. When Cristian Mascolino and Soraya Sabetta returned to face host Filippo Bisciglia one month after their initial split, the atmosphere shifted from romantic grief to sharp accusation. While both confirmed they are now separated, the central conflict has evolved into a debate over honesty and the timeline of Cristian’s new romantic interest.

Cristian Mascolino and the Nicole Cena Connection

The most disruptive revelation of the reunion was Cristian’s admission that he is frequenting a tentress named Nicole. While rumors had previously circulated about a woman named Flavia, Cristian clarified that Nicole is the person he is seeing. He maintained that this connection began only after the program ended, specifically stating he contacted her two days after the experience concluded.

This claim was immediately contested by Soraya. She argued that Cristian had been more restrained in the village than he appeared, suggesting he already had Nicole in mind while still technically in the process of the show.

The Career and Profile of Nicole Cena

Nicole Cena is not a newcomer to the screen. The 22-year-old, originally from Livorno (though some sources link her to Livorno Ferraris in Vercelli), has built a professional profile as a model and influencer with a following on Instagram prior to the show.

• 2023: Appeared on Ciao Darwin in the Teen vs. Milf episode.
• 2024: Featured in Gialappa’s Show.
• Recent: Acted as a accomplice for a prank targeting journalist Francesca Barra on Scherzi a Parte.
• 2025: Reached the Top 25 of Miss Mondo.

Cena has also held titles such as Miss Ivrea, Miss Rdl, and Miss Toro.

Soraya Sabetta’s Perspective on the Breakup

For Soraya, the end of the relationship was rooted in a lack of emotional involvement and intimacy. The 23-year-old from Rome, who works in her family’s company, entered the program feeling already broken. She had previously accused Cristian of being immature and suggested he only remained with her because her father allowed him to work for the family business.

During the show, Soraya formed a bond with a tentatore named Dimitri. However, she later clarified that Dimitri was merely a tool to help her understand the deficiencies in her relationship with Cristian.

Despite this admission and an attempt to close the relationship serenely through tears and phone calls after filming, the reunion showed a deep divide. Soraya expressed a sense of betrayal, claiming she felt taken for a ride by a man who was not actually in love with her.

Conflicting Accounts of the Village Experience

The tension between the two centers on a fundamental disagreement about how they conducted themselves during the recording. Soraya believes she was authentic and transparent, while she accuses Cristian of hiding his true feelings for Nicole to avoid looking “dirty” to the audience.

Soraya’s Claim	Cristian’s Claim
Cristian was reflective and hid his interest in Nicole to protect his image.	He only contacted Nicole after the program and is now seeking balance in his life.
The relationship was dead due to a lack of maturity and attention.	Soraya’s behavior in the village “extinguished” him and he felt disrespected.
She was “true” despite her mistakes.	She is “fake” and sent him kind messages right up until the reunion.

Cristian’s stance remains rigid. He has explicitly stated that he no longer feels anything for Soraya and that she is not entitled to information regarding his current dating life. While Soraya continues to grapple with the emotional weight of the split, Cristian’s focus has shifted entirely toward his new connection with Cena.
