Raf and Cate are a Milan-based Italian couple who built a multi-platform food and fitness brand around the premise that healthy eating does not require sacrifice. Operating under the handle 2foodfitlovers, they have documented over sixteen years of shared life through a content mix of fit recipes — many developed for the air fryer — alongside weightlifting, powerlifting, and more recently running, plus food-travel content showcasing Italy's culinary landscape. Their channel grew organically within Italian-language wellness communities, earning recognition as Best TikTok Food Creator in 2025, and they have since extended the brand into a physical venture: EvenGelato, a gelateria they co-founded in Milan's Via Vigevano, which functions both as a business and as on-brand content fodder.
Their audience skews heavily female and clusters in the 25–34 bracket, an Italian-speaking core that responds to the couple's blend of practicality and personality — reflected in above-median engagement across all three platforms, with TikTok performing particularly strongly. Sponsorship activity confirms a clear positioning in the Italian wellness and active-lifestyle segment: recurring nutrition partnerships with Life Pro Italia and GymBeam sit alongside activewear brand Teveo and, notably, Vinted, suggesting the couple's domestic relatability opens doors beyond pure fitness verticals. With a gelato business anchoring them to food entrepreneurship and a cross-platform following in the millions, 2foodfitlovers are well placed to deepen brand partnerships that bridge healthy eating, everyday lifestyle, and Italian consumer culture.
2foodfitlovers reaches an audience concentrated in ITA primarily through Instagram, and is best activated via long-form YouTube integrations, Instagram Reels and Stories, TikTok branded content. Their sponsorship history skews toward Apparel / Fashion, Food & Beverage, Food & Beverage / Fitness, a clear signal of fit for brands in those categories. Demonstrated partners include GymBeam and Vinted. Engagement on Instagram runs around 2.1%, which points to an audience better suited to category-relevant, mid-funnel campaigns than to pure-reach buys. The channel's mix of long-form YouTube integrations and Instagram Reels and Stories lets a sponsor choose between short awareness placements and longer, more detailed integrations. Because the audience follows fitness content rather than arriving through untargeted reach, sponsorships that match the channel's subject matter tend to convert more efficiently than broad placements. A consistent, on-topic posting focus gives sponsors a predictable, brand-safe environment, lowering placement risk compared with broad, general-interest channels. Campaigns here are best measured on qualified engagement and consideration within the niche rather than on raw impression volume. For ITA-focused brands in Apparel / Fashion and related categories, 2foodfitlovers offers a defined, creative-fit audience rather than broad, low-intent impressions.
