Bocelli peformed at Kourtney’s 2020 wedding in Portofino and Kim’s 2014 wedding in Florence
Andrea Bocelli is honored that the Kardashian sisters are such big fans of his music.
When Bocelli held his three-day concert at the Teatro del Silenzio in Tuscany, Kim Kardashian and Khloé Kardashian flew to Italy to see him perform. Reflecting on his relationship with the family, the Italian tenor feels grateful to have their support.
“I never take anything for granted,” Bocelli, 66, says.
He continues, “Feeling the warmth of many colleagues, worldwide stars, and they all gathered to my concert, that was something that really surprised me and made me feel very proud and satisfied.”
In June 2023, Kim, 44, and Kourtney, 45, were wrapped up in a Dolce & Gabbana clash that played out on season 3 of The Kardashians. On the episode, Kourtney wasn’t happy that Kim worked with Dolce & Gabbana on a collaboration shortly after they served as the designer for her wedding to husband Travis Barker.
Then, Kim pointed out that she had Bocelli perform at her wedding to ex-husband Kanye West in Florence, Italy in 2014, before he also performed at Kourtney’s 2022 Portofino wedding.
“You stole my f—ing wedding country and my wedding performer. Andrea Bocelli is my favorite male singer of all time, but I’m copying her Dolce Vita lifestyle? OK,” Kim, who has since settled her differences with her sister, said in a confessional.
When asked about the feud, Bocelli is honored that “two amazing celebrities” are “sincerely my true fans.”
He adds, “They like me a lot. And this is something that really warms my heart.”
Back when the episode aired, Bocelli addressed it on his Instagram Stories.
“Dear @kimkardashian and @kourtneykardash, I’m so flattered that you both love my voice and I’ll always be happy to sing to you 😃,” he wrote.
“But know that there’s a younger and far more helpful artist @matteobocelli who your mother @krisjenner knows very well. 😉 See you soon in Tuscany!” Bocelli added, referencing his son Matteo, 27.
When Kim and Khloé attended his concert in July, they poked fun at the feud in a video posted by Khloé, where they’re mouthing along to the previous confessional comments.
“I got married in Italy. Am I saying you copied me by getting married in Italy?” Kim said. “Who performed at my wedding? Andrea Bocelli. Who performed at Kourtney’s wedding? Andrea Bocelli.”
Bocelli the made an appearance in the clip, with Kim hugging him before Khloé, 40, entered the shot. The sisters then posed on either side of the singer.
“I win after all,” a caption read, tagging Bocelli.
