More about Fabio
From this article on the Fabio dealbreaker:

Mercer Island resident David Taylor, one of Fabio's closest friends, only heard about "Average Joe's" final act. But knowing about his best buddy, Taylor thinks Gil's abandonment had more to do with that second theory. "He sounds like kind of a weak squeeze," he said, adding he also knew Larissa. "She's better off without the guy."

That must be a relief for the numerous local ladies who count Fabio among lovers gone before. You see, Mr. Lanzoni acted out a few Harlequin romance passages when he lived in Seattle in the early '80s, having moved here directly from Milan. "I mean, we'd be walking down the street, and people would stop their cars ... and give him their phone numbers," Taylor recalled. "We had some great times together. He's a man's man and a great guy who likes women, and women like him."

The prolific playboy and former bodice-ripper cover model was in his Italian hometown working on his clothing line for Sam's Club and did not see the finale. However, his manager Eric Ashenberg relayed a statement.

"Fabio wishes Larissa nothing but the best," Ashenberg said. "Other than that, the only thing he has to say is if that guy is looking to date someone he (Fabio) hasn't, he should start dating men."
