    May, 49, won two world as well as two Olympic silvers.
    She then had a brief career as an actress as well as winning Italy's version of Dancing with the Stars.
    Gianni Iapichino, 50, was Italian pole vault champion for many years and won the European Cup in 1991.
    May and Iapichino were married from 1995 to 2011. They have another daughter, Anastasia.
