the love story with Karius, the first photos – Corriere.it

Embrace each other tenderly on the sofa, your gaze in love. So yesterday Diletta Leotta and Loris Karius announced, via social media, that they are expecting a child. We have to tell you something… but you already know it. Let’s explode with joy! Us and my belly. Soon we’ll be three, the message accompanying the video, shot in the Milanese home of the face of Dazn. The two, romantically linked since October, fled to the sea, apparently in Miami (the destination of their first vacation together, at the end of November), to take advantage of the championship break for the national teams. Karius, in fact, a footballer in the Premier League, goalkeeper for Newcastle.

For a few weeks there had been talk of Diletta’s possible pregnancy. On March 19, she was in Spain to follow the Classic between Barcelona and Real Madrid. In that circumstance uA video that shot her in profile had revealed a suspicious tummy. Nothing so obvious, of course, but a clue. Until yesterday’s announcement.

Milan, Catania, Miami, Newcastle are the places where they have been spotted in recent months, since they have been a steady couple. On 26 February Diletta was instead in London, on the day of the English League Cup final between Karius’ Newcastle and Manchester United

(which he later won 2-0). An important day for the German goalkeeper, his debut with the Magpies in an important match, the first step in rewriting the history of his career, which slipped on the night of the 2018 Champions League final: his Liverpool lost 3-1 against Real Madrid, he makes two decisive errors that mark him.

This is also why Diletta has accepted the site’s invitation The Athletic and wrote him a letter before returning to the field against Manchester United at the end of February: Dear Loris, look back and realize the road you’ve come up to here. The days spent believing in your dream, loving it, holding it in your hands until you grab it and then brutally seeing it snatch from you. The sad nights, the lump in the throat and the bad thoughts behind that mistake that kept you away from the competition for two years but not from your greatest passion.

Then the restart: The blow was hard, for life 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you decide to react. And you’ve decided to build your future by embracing change and working even harder to get back to being there: I’m proud of you. That’s why from the first moment we met first of all i admired your strength and your courage. You told me about your long journey of rebirth and the strength with which you believe in who you are made me fall in love with you. Sometimes taking a step back helps you take a better run-up and I’m sure this run-up will lead you and the whole team to take flight. No one deserves it as much as you. As a child I have always loved fairy tales and I can’t wait to read this happy ending. With love, Diletta. Now the first child. The story continues.
