Laura Wontorra & Riccardo Basile relationship

Entities: 2026 FIFA World Cup · FIFA World Cup 2026 · Sky Deutschland · Riccardo Basile · Laura Wontorra

Overview

The romance between sport presenter Riccardo Basile and TV host Laura Wontorra, first hinted at a February party in Berlin, moved from speculation to public confirmation in early June 2026. A joint Instagram selfie taken from a New York balcony on 27 June while covering the 2026 FIFA World Cup was posted to their Stories, and the pair affirmed it was Wontorra’s first public display of affection since her 2022 divorce. The same image was shared as an Instagram post on 28 June, which German entertainment outlets treated as definitive proof of the relationship.

In early July the duo posted coordinated Instagram images from Los Angeles, including a terrace shot at Nobu Malibu, followed by a series of Hamptons photos on 15 July that showed Wontorra alone on a bench, the pair together at a table and later strolling on a beach. Commentators such as Lena Gercke and Palina Rojinski reacted positively.

The latest development came on 22 July, when Wontorra uploaded an Instagram story from an airport showing the couple together, captioned “My hot bf and all his luggage.” The post‑s and the caption explicitly confirmed the relationship and hinted that the pair were embarking on a summer vacation, though their destination was not disclosed.

On 28 July, Wontorra posted a short video from Marbella that revealed a newly‑cut long bob. She walks up a staircase, runs her fingers through the shorter hair and writes “finally back at my happy place.” Later that day she added further Instagram updates from Marbella, debuting a collarbone‑bob haircut, a white silk‑wrap skirt with a black top, and several selfies with Basile. Followers praised her look and the couple’s happiness, reinforcing the publicly acknowledged partnership.
