Who is Amy Blunt? Alleged mother of Robert Citrone's son, the Steelers co-owner can't silence
The billionaire Steelers co-owner sought an emergency order after Blunt discussed their dispute online and with the media
What began as a private fight over child support has spilled into public view, with Amy Blunt and billionaire investor Robert Citrone now battling not only over money, but over what either side can say outside the courtroom.
Citrone recently asked a Pennsylvania judge to stop Blunt from discussing the dispute with journalists, newspapers or on social media. His attorneys argued that her posts about the case, his finances and their three-year-old son, Luca, violated earlier court restrictions.
The judge refused to impose the emergency order. The ruling doesn't mean everything in the case can now be made public. The underlying litigation remains sealed, and neither side is permitted to disclose confidential filings to people who are not involved in the proceedings.
What the judge did make clear is that no separate gag order currently prevents Blunt or Citrone from speaking about the dispute more generally.
Why are Amy Blunt and Robert Citrone in court?
Blunt is seeking access to Citrone ’s financial records as part of the child support case, including tax returns and income statements.
She has claimed Citrone earned about $113 million in taxable income in 2024 and argues that his finances are relevant to determining the proper level of support for Luca , who she says has significant medical needs.
Blunt has said Luca has Cornelia de Lange Syndrome and requires a wheelchair. A judge had already granted her permission to depose Citrone , his wife Cindy and his children about their lifestyle and standard of living.
The dispute became more heated after Blunt posted about the case online and indicated she planned to create a TikTok account discussing what she described as Citrone ’s alleged “infidelity and his refusal to support Luca.”
Citrone ’s legal team then sought to stop further public comments.
Blunt argues she has a right to speak
Blunt pushed back strongly against that request.
“Father just does not like Mother talking about him online, which is to say that he does not like the content of Mother’s speech,” she argued in response to the emergency filing.
She also maintained that “proscribing former romantic partners from speaking about their personal lives is not a ‘legitimate government interest.’”
Citrone is the co-founder of Discovery Capital Management and, alongside his wife, has held an ownership stake in the Steelers since 2009.
He and Cindy have also been involved in major philanthropic projects, including a multimillion-dollar commitment to Hampden-Sydney College.
The latest decision doesn't settle the underlying child support dispute. It does, however, represent an important procedural victory for Blunt , who can continue discussing the broader conflict publicly while the sealed financial and family issues remain before the court.
