Overview
- Instagram photos posted Friday and Saturday show Laura Wontorra and Sky moderator Riccardo Basile together at Nobu Malibu on the coast of Los Angeles.
- Neither Wontorra nor Basile has issued an official statement about their relationship beyond the social‑media posts.
- German tabloid BILD first reported the pairing in late May and sources say the two first sparked a romance in February 2026 before keeping it private.
- The pair have known each other for years after Basile co‑hosted the show 'Wontorra – der Fußball Talk', which was linked to Laura’s father Jörg Wontorra.
- Wontorra’s 600,000+ Instagram followers reacted positively and the publicity could increase public interest in her World Cup coverage while she remains on assignment.
