DAZN presenter Diletta Leotta has announced she is pregnant with her second child, sharing the news with partner and former Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius.
The 34-year-old Italian broadcaster has been in a relationship with the German shot-stopper since 2022. The couple welcomed their first child, daughter Aria, in 2023, before marrying in an elegant ceremony the following year.
Their journey together continues with another milestone, as the pair revealed the pregnancy in a social media post on Wednesday.
Accompanied by a tender photo, the caption read: "This Christmas we couldn’t wish for a more beautiful gift. Aria is becoming a big sister, and our hearts are ready to love twice as much."
Friends, fans, and well-wishers swiftly flooded the comments with congratulations. The post has already garnered over 450,000 likes on Instagram.
Fellow Italian television personality Melissa Satta wrote: "Oh my goodness, so beautiful! So happy for you!"
Another supporter exclaimed: "Congratulations, you are absolutely wonderful!"
Karius' current club, Schalke 04, also joined in, posting: "WOOOW!! Our warmest congratulations – we are incredibly happy for you!"
Leotta is a prominent figure in Italian sports media, known for her role as a football presenter on DAZN. She has gained attention for her style both on and off screen.
Karius, meanwhile, is often remembered for his challenging performance in the 2018 UEFA Champions League final while at Liverpool, where two errors contributed to a 3–1 defeat against Real Madrid. After leaving Anfield, he had a short stint as backup at Newcastle United before returning to Germany.
The goalkeeper is currently playing for Schalke 04 in the 2. Bundesliga. The club leads the division by four points, putting Karius in contention for a return to Germany's top flight next season.
