Italian model Elisabetta Canalis has dished the details on her upcoming wedding - and opened up about ex George Clooney's engagement to Amal Alamuddin.

The 35-year-old spoke to Italy's Chi magazine about her fiancé, orthopedic surgeon Brian Perri, revealing: "I met a 46-year-old man who has never married and does not have children, a rarity."

Although Elisabetta and her famous ex-boyfriend are both set to wed in Italy in September, she told the magazine that she is not focused on the actor's nuptials.

"I am happy for him, but I am thinking only of my happiness. It is the most important day of my life, I don’t have time to think of anyone else", she says.

"That is the wrong impression that many have made and I do not have any problems speaking about him", she added of the Monuments Men star, with whom she split in June 2011 after two years together.

"There is no mystery, no contract, no secrets to hide. So many people believe that a relationship with a such a famous person, always in the spotlight, was not possible. Instead we had a real connection and it ended as all relationships can end."
