Carmen Electra is turning heads again, but this time it’s not just for her longtime bombshell status. The 53-year-old Baywatch veteran has been spotted in a new romantic chapter with an unexpected partner – tattoo artist Franco Vescovi. Swapping the limelight for something a bit more laid-back, Electra was seen in a heartfelt kiss with Vescovi outside the renowned Hollywood Vatican Studios in Los Angeles on Wednesday evening.
Electra, who famously dated music legend Prince and was married to larger-than-life personalities like Dennis Rodman and Dave Navarro, seems to be embracing a different scene. While her past romances were with high-profile celebrities, this new relationship seems to be rooted in the more grounded vibes of LA’s tattoo culture. Vescovi, known for his expertise in black-and-gray tattoo design, is no stranger to the celebrity world either, having inked stars like Travis Barker and Britney Spears.
“I used to draw on people all the time with markers. I never thought about tattoos before then, but ever since I saw those first tattoos in the San Gabriel area, I fell in love with the idea of making tattoos,” Vescovi shares on his website, reflecting his passion for the art form.
On their night out, Electra dazzled in a skintight black-and-gold chevron-print sequined dress, proving she still rocks the red carpet style decades after becoming a household name. Alongside her was Vescovi, casually promoting his tattoo studio with a black T-shirt and camo cargo pants. The pair looked every bit the part of an L.A. power couple, exuding both glam and authenticity.
Carmen’s past as a Playboy cover girl and her time as Lani McKenzie on Baywatch have kept her in the public eye for years, and now she’s making waves with her new beau. Vescovi, with over two decades in the tattoo business, and Carmen seem to have found a mutual connection in their shared love for creativity and expression.
Reflecting on her Baywatch days, Electra once shared she faced pressures to lose weight and do her own stunts, recalling, “I never had a weigh-in, but I was told sometimes that I was too heavy.” Yet, despite the challenges, she pushed through and continued to thrive in Hollywood.
As Electra moves forward, her past movie roles in hits like Scary Movie and Epic Movie only add to her versatile legacy. Now, with this new chapter alongside Vescovi, it’s clear she’s embracing life with a fresh perspective, proving that sometimes real love stories happen off the beaten path of the Hollywood spotlight.
