Childhood/Family Life:
Michael is the second of the three Bellucci children, and the only boy of Matteo and Adelina Bellucci. Matteo was an Italian citizen who met Adelina, an Italian-American, during their youth. Matteo was a Bellucci, the only son of Alessandro and Marie Bellucci, and after his father retired, he inherited the Bellucci wine company. Before marrying Matteo, Adelina was known as Adelina Ferrero, one of the two children of Michele Ferrero, the founder of the confectionery company Ferrero Group. Adelina and Matteo were both raised in Italy, but Adelina was born in the United States while her parents were on vacation, making her a citizen. Though the two knew each other since they were children, they only actually got to know each other when they were both in their late twenties and had separately moved to New York. Through mutual contacts, they ended up hanging out together and began dating when Adelina was twenty-eight and Matteo was thirty five. It was a late start (at least in Adelina's parents' eyes) but they fell in love, and married two years later. Adelina was thirty when she had her first child, Luciana. The family was residing in Milan at the time, and remained there for two years, before relocating to the states, where they wanted their children to be raised. Michael was born a few months after they moved into their beach side mansion in California, and spent all of his childhood living there. Of course, summers and school breaks were spent in the many vacation homes that the family had scattered around the globe, with his favorite being their homes in Italy.

After graduating high school, Michael didn't go on to college. He spent the years between eighteen and twenty two traveling the globe as his modeling career blossomed. His parents home in California remained his home base, because it was just easier that way. Why pay your own bills when your parents own an amazing house, in a lusted-over location, and aren't strict or suffocating? There was no reason for him to move out, especially since he was rarely home for more than a couple of days at a time. When he was twenty-two, his parents bought a house in Beverly Hills and essentially gave it to he and Luciana to use as their first pad outside of the house.

Quirks//Habits//Oddities:


Good personality traits:
Adventurous, fun, confident, personable

Bad personality traits:
Reckless, unfaithful, superficial, impulsive

Personality:
If you're friends with Mike, you have to understand that with the good, comes the bad. There's a side of him that's hard for a lot of people not to love. He's personable and social, easily striking up conversation with people he's just met. He's talkative and seems to be able to talk about anything, anywhere, so he's not someone who automatically puts off bad vibes. He usually is a fun person to be around and he knows how to have a good night, so you can bet that if he's inviting you out for a night at the bars or a club, you're going to go home happy, tired, drunk, and usually with some girl to help you get laid. There is an air of confidence that Mike gives off that makes people take him seriously, even if half of the time, he's acting on a whim or doesn't know what he's talking about.

Being adventurous is admirable, as well as being fun and entertaining, but sometimes Mike takes that too far. He can be impulsive and reckless, often acting without considering what he's going to think of his decisions the next morning. Although he's undeniably confident, he often feels unsure of his major decisions and whether he's made a good choice. It's strange, how he won't second guess whether the fifteenth can of beer is really a good idea or not, but he'll wonder if remaining in a relationship with just one girl is going to hurt him. He definitely struggles with commitment, and his impulsiveness and selfishness don't help his case there.

Greatest joys in life:
He's Italian, so food, family, friends and wine are definitely his top four joys in life. There's sex, too, but that's just a universal joy.

Greatest fears:
He fears that he'll accidentally get a girl pregnant. He always uses protection, but shit happens, and he is not anxious for the day some girl he doesn't remember fucking comes knocking on the door with a positive paternity test. It would be straight out of a nightmare for him. He fears that he'll never find "the one", and most recently, that Kate was "the one" and that he lost her due to his own stupidity, carelessness and greed. He also fears commitment, though, and is definitely a victim of FOMO when it comes to his love life and romantic commitments.

Life philosophy:
"Say it before you run out of time. Say it before it’s too late. Say what you’re feeling. Waiting is a mistake."
-Unknown

Build:
He's 6'1, of average weight, and with an athletic figure. He's not extremely buff, but toned enough where he's definitely not self-conscious when he's scarcely clothed on set.

Hair Colour:
Dark brown

Eye Colour:
Hazel

Distinguishing Marks:
None

Style:
He's a high fashion model, so even though he wouldn't say that fashion is his passion, he dresses well. He knows designers, what's being released each season, and what looks best on him. Having that knowledge, why wouldn't he take advantage of it? It's not like it hurts in his frequent plight to get laid, especially now that Kate left him.
