Statement from Petra Nemcova and Alejandro Grimaldi

Petra Nemcova and Fiance Alejandro Grimaldi, Director/Senior Advisor for several PE groups, real estate investor and former Citigroup and Goldman Sachs Banker have called off their engagement. The couple lived together between the properties owned by Mr. Grimaldi for just under 2 years and became engaged in St. Tropez in June 2017.  The sad news come amidst an array of joint business and charitable projects for which the couple worked hand-in-hand and in very complementary ways to carry forward. They both remain friends and are committed to joining forces where necessary for the improvement in the lives of children around the world.
