Personal Life
Gregorini is an out lesbian. She once stated: "I was a tomboy until I was 18. I had boyfriends, but I never understood the whole hoopla about sex. I could take it or leave it. I never quite figured out the virtues of "The D". Then, when I discovered girls, I was like 'Aha, now I get it!'. I was 19 years old. I knew I was a lesbian. I'm ready to be a homebody and be a parent". At the time of the statement, she was in a relationship with actress Portia de Rossi. The two ended their relationship in 2004. Gregorini now lives in Los Angeles. She contributed two songs for See Jane Run: "Game Show Host" and "I Don't Need Anybody". Sarah Thorp (SJR writer - director) directed Francesca's latest video, "My Flight".
Francesca and Tatiana von Furstenberg, co-wrote and co-directed the independent film Tanner Hall, a coming of age story set in an all-girls boarding school in Rhode Island, which is loosely based on their own experiences during adolescence. “Naturally there are some autobiographical elements, combined with things we'd witness in boarding school, and many other parts that we made up completely. You will certainly find characteristics of both of us in each of the 4 main girls and if you spend even a half hour with us, it will be very apparent to you, which girls are most like me and which ones are most like Tatiana”, said Gregorini in an interview.
