Loris Karius Shares Exciting Personal News on Social Media
Liverpool FC's former goalkeeper Loris Karius has delighted fans by announcing his engagement to influencer girlfriend Diletta Leotta on Instagram.
In a heartfelt post shared on social media, the 32-year-old German shot-stopper revealed the joyous news with a series of romantic photos from a picturesque proposal in Dubai. Karius, who famously played in the 2018 Champions League final for Liverpool, dropped to one knee on a pristine beach at sunset, presenting Leotta with a stunning diamond ring. The couple, who have been dating since 2022, looked blissfully happy as they embraced, with Leotta flashing her new bling in close-up shots.
Karius captioned the images: "She said YES! 💍❤️ Forever starts now. Couldn't be happier to call you my fiancée, Diletta. Here's to our future adventures together." The post quickly garnered thousands of likes and congratulatory messages from fans, former teammates, and celebrities. Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher commented, "Congrats mate! 🎉," while Italian media personality Chiara Ferragni added heart emojis.
Leotta, a popular Italian TV presenter and model known for her work with DAZN, reposted the announcement with her own emotional message: "Yes, a million times yes! Ti amo per sempre, Loris. Can't wait to build our life together." The couple first went public at the 2023 Sanremo Music Festival and welcomed their daughter, Luna, in March 2024, making this engagement a natural next step amid their growing family.
Karius, now playing for Italian side Monza after stints at Newcastle and Union Berlin, has found stability off the pitch following a turbulent career highlighted by those two errors in the 2018 Kyiv final against Real Madrid. Fans celebrated the news as a "fairytale ending" to his personal story.
The announcement comes as Karius enjoys a career resurgence in Serie A, blending professional success with personal happiness. Congratulations pour in worldwide!
