“It was a moment of vulnerability,” the relative explained. “He felt compelled to share it openly given how situations unfolded inside the house. He didn’t join the show with this as his main narrative, but when the moment came, he embraced it with courage.”
The family’s response to Bernardi’s declaration has been overwhelmingly positive. “His family received the news very well,” the relative continued. “You cannot discard a family member over their personal truth. Every parent should be proud of their child.”
Adding more depth to Bernardi’s story, the family member revealed his past marriage to a British woman. The union brought him two daughters, one adopted and one biological, both of whom have shown unwavering support for their father. “He became a grandfather through his adopted daughter, and both daughters stand by him wholeheartedly,” the relative noted.
Bernardi’s coming out on a platform as prominent as Big Brother VIP Albania is not just a personal milestone but also a significant cultural moment. It sheds light on the evolving attitudes toward LGBTQ+ individuals in Albanian society, demonstrating how familial love and acceptance can pave the way for broader societal change.
As the journey unfolds for Bernardi in the Big Brother house, his bravery and the support of his family serve as a testament to the power of authenticity and the unbreakable bonds of love.
