Breaking the hearts of many ladies, Edoardo Santini, the model who was given the title of the ‘Most Handsome Man’ has decided to quit modelling and devote his life to priesthood. The 21-year-old Edoardo Santini was crowned with the title of the ‘Most Handsome Man at the age of 17. It was during a pageant organised in 2019 by ABE Group, a fashion group hen he got the title. However, now leaving his promising career in the spotlight behind, Santini is on the spiritual journey of faith and service. Announcing the same, he took to his Instagram handle and shared a video, giving a glimpse into his journey as a model and also how he came upon the path of faith and God.
“It’s been a long time since I feel the need to investigate it, last year I made a first step, but I had told a few the real reason for my move. I needed a time that was specifically for me. This year, on the eve of my 21st birthday, I feel ready to share this,” a part of his caption read.
According to a Daily Mail report, the 21-year-old rising star noted that he found himself on the path towards becoming a priest God willing as looking forward to joining a seminary near Florence. “I have decided to give up modelling work, acting, and dance, but I won’t abandon all my passions, I’ll just live them differently, offering them up to God,” said the Castel Fiorentino native.
Further through his social media message, the young Santini recalled that his father decided to marry his mother at the age of 21 because she was pregnant and it was again at the age of 21 when his mother had him, further explaining his reason to choosing the path at the same age.
“They have given me the strength to investigate this question that I’ve taken with me from childhood but various fears stopped me from studying it at a deeper level. Last year, I took the first step,” he said further adding that he also lived with two priests, and was the “best experience” of his life.
While his social media post confirms the major shift in his life, his profile bio has been also updated to, “I’m a Christian, priest wannabe+.”
