Loris Karius’ jaw-dropping WAG Diletta Leotta is a famous sports presenter with a huge Instagram following – and will be cheering him on at Wembley this afternoon
With Loris Karius set for a sensational return to club football in the Carabao Cup final this weekend – his stunning WAG Diletta Leotta will be cheering Newcastle on.
The former Liverpool and Mainz 05 stopper, who looks set to make his debut for the club with Nick Pope suspended and Martin Dubravka cup-tied against Manchester United, has been dating Leotta since last year.
With DAZN’s Serie A presenter Leotta regularly keeping fans updated on Instagram, she is certainly not shy of a raunchy post including bikini snaps.
Leotta has a huge 8.6million followers thanks to both her blossoming career and eye-opening content, having previously worked for Sky Sports as well as various radio shows.
The Italian, 31, also posts in yoga instruction videos as well as viral dances, posing two snaps with her man who might just need her support this weekend.
Karius hasn’t made an appearance since a loan deal at Union Berlin back in the 2020/21 campaign, having slipped out of Liverpool contention after his Champions League blunders.
On Valentine’s Day Leotta posted a black and white video of them smiling and hugging with a love heart emoji that brought in almost a quarter of a million likes.
With Karius having 1.8million followers on his own platform, he has also posted two uploads of them together including a New Year’s offering from inside a club.
With the duo currently in a long-distance relationship thanks to his Tyneside base and her Serie A commitments, she might just be heading to Wembley on Sunday to watch him in action.

With Mark Gillespie the other potential section for Eddie Howe, the boss has said: “Yeah, they’re our options – they have started games away from competitive action several friendlies and training games. I’d say they are both match ready.
“That is what they are in the squad for.
“I got to say I know everyone here wouldn’t have seen how well they’ve trained but they have both been competitive and been part of our group all season. So I’ve got full confidence in both.”
With Newcastle looking to win their first trophy since the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, which would become the Europa League, back in 1969, Erik ten Hag’s men are the favourites.
The Red Devils go into the game on the back of their Europa League victory over Barcelona as well as three wins from their last four Premier League outings.
With kick-off at 4:30pm from Wembley, one fan has even paid £2000 for a ticket in a bid to watch his side lift the cup.
