Hi there, hello, howdy and welcome to the Mills & Boon blog on National Siblings Day! And to celebrate we’ve been lucky enough to sit down with Amelia and Issy Seymore – the outstandingly lucky English sisters who married the notorious Italian Billionaires, the Rossi cousins! We couldn’t think of two more wonderful women to spill the tea on sisterhood and the gorgeous billionaire cousins they have managed to wed!

 *

Ladies, welcome! Thank you so much for talking with us.

Amelia: Thank you so much for having us.

Issy: It’s really great to be here. On zoom.

Can we just start by saying, congratulations on your recent weddings! No one ever thought that the Rossi cousins would settle down!

Amelia: (hesitates) Thank you.

Issy: You could argue that they’re the lucky ones, but sure, yeah. Thanks.

As it’s National Sibling Day, we thought we’d ask you a few questions about you both. And we assure you, no siblings will be hurt in the answering of these questions!

Amelia: (laughs nervously).

Issy: If you’re sure (not sounding convinced).

What were each other’s most annoying habit growing up?

Issy: Mine, or Lia’s? Because Issy used to do this thing where–

(Amelia jokingly slaps Issy)

Issy: Only joking. As you know, things were a little tricky growing up after we lost Dad, but Lia could be a leeetttle bossy.

Amelia: I will neither confirm nor deny. But Issy used to collect these tiny little things. It could be anything as long as it was tiny. And cute. And they’d get everywhere! In my school bag, or sock, or bed.

Issy: Of course, it took her years to realise that I was putting them there on purpose.

Do you have a favourite memory of each other?

Amelia: I think for me it was our last summer in Italy with Mum and Dad. It was such a magical time before everything changed. You couldn’t drag Issy out of the pool. And Mum and Dad were utterly lost in each other, it was wonderful.

Issy: It was that same summer for me! The best bit was Improving my aim with the beach ball by using Lia’s face as a target… I’m kidding!!!.

What was the best thing your sister ever did for you?

Amelia: She came to me when I needed it. It was only recently, but she was there. She’s always been there and that means the world to me.

Issy: (actually looking quite serious for the first time) I can’t pinpoint one thing. Lia has been my absolute rock in this world. When everything fell apart for us, she was the one who kept me together and got me through each day.

We know that you two are very close – is there such a thing as too close?

Amelia and Issy together: No (lots of laughter).

Just between us ladies and our readers – curious minds want to know, how did you meet the Rossis?

Amelia: Ahh, that’s a bit of a long story and probably not worth going into now. Safe to say, it was dramatic!

Issy: Erm… I’d really rather not talk about that.

What is it REALLY like to be married to two such handsome men?!

Issy: (Perking up) One hell of a ride, that’s for sure.

We’ve heard that the cousins have a secret compound in Italy, is it true? What can you tell us about it?

Amelia and Issy: No.

Can you tell us a little about the honeymoon? Was it spectacular? Having married so close together, did you share a honeymoon?

Amelia: I think we might be getting a little off topic here perhaps?

Issy: Yes, I thought this was supposed to be about National Siblings Day?

Ameila – you’re looking blooming, congratulations on your pregnancy. Issy, is there any pregnancy news in the works? Can we share with our readers any celebratory news?

Issy: Aaaannnd that’s the end of the interview. Thanks so much for having us! Happy National Siblings Day!
