Karius, best remembered for that Champions League final meltdown against Real Madrid, has swapped Anfield heartache for happily-ever-after with Italian stunner Diletta, 33, who fronts the footie on DAZN.
The pair first met in 2022, welcomed baby Aria in 2023 and tied the knot in a plush 2024 bash straight out of a fairy tale.
But it's not all roses and romance, they're juggling marriage and parenthood from different countries.
Karius now plays for German Bundesliga two side Schalke after leaving Newcastle while Diletta's continues her DAZN gig in Milan.
But according to the goalkeeper his wife loves it and creates an atmoshphere where its right for them to feel the love even from a distance.
He told Sport Bild: 'Diletta even advised me to extend at Schalke.
"She thinks the club is great and she likes everything she has seen here so far.
"Diletta also thinks that royal blue is the perfect choice for my sporting success. She is fully behind this decision."
Karius however admits it's tough not seeing little Aria every day but FaceTime is saving the day.
He added: 'But of course it's hard for me when I can't see my little daughter Aria for days.

"But that's what FaceTime is for and we see each other regularly - as often as possible."
The 32-year-old goalkeeper also admitted he's open to a second child even though he's not planned anything yet.
He added: "We would love to have a second child, we don't know when yet and nothing concrete is planned so far."
The goalie also revealed that his missus is the real celeb in the family – especially in Milan.
He added: 'She gets recognised more than me. She's a superstar over there.'
But Karius wasn't quite ready for the full Italian family welcome.
On meeting Diletta's clan in noisy Sicily, he fled the lunch table and locked himself in the bedroom for a lie-down.
His wife Dilette revealed on a podcast: 'He was shattered by life, bless him.
'He said, Please stop, I need a break.
"He went upstairs to his room locked himself in and threw himself on the bed destroyed by life."
Since his Liverpool nightmare, Karius has done the rounds – Besiktas, Union Berlin, Newcastle and now Schalke in Germany's second tier, where he just signed a deal until 2027.

Hollywood beauty meets 'hot Australian guy' - and quickly finds out why they're so hard to date
A US model and media personality revealed on Sunday her agonising attempt at trying to get a date with a 'hot Australian guy'. Sami Sheen, 21, who is the daughter of Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards, took to TikTok to recount the time she struggled to flirt with a man from Down Under. The blonde beauty said she met the hopeless romantic at a restaurant in Malibu, but he was so clueless about how to hit on her, he left without her name or number. 'Story time about a hot Australian man I met last week,' she captioned the video. She then said: 'I was in Malibu. I was in a really cute restaurant, sitting outside drinking my coffee. I had my dog in my lap.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Then my friend was like, "There's a really hot man behind you." I turned around... he was looking,' she continued. Sami went on to say she was in the midst of discussing if she should approach him or not when the Aussie took the decision out of her hands and made a move. 'A couple minutes go by. I hear this man say, "Oh my god, that dog is really cute." I turned to look at him and he said, "You have a really cute dog, can I come say hi?"' The OnlyFans model encouraged the man to approach and play with her pooch, saying he knelt down to be eye level with her. Sami said the pair of them had great conversation and chemistry, but she was left disappointed when the Aussie didn't ask for her number. 'He gets up, walks away. I was like, "Oh my god, I can't believe I did not get his number or anything. He is really hot,"' she said. But her second chance came when she took her dog over to a nearby bush so it could go to the toilet. Her mystery man happened to be standing nearby with a group of his friends and he decided to approach her for a second time. 'He is petting [my dog] goodbye. Then he looks up and says, "I'll see you around,"' she recounted. 'Was this just about my dog? Because he didn't get my name, didn't get my number. We didn't exchange names, nothing. Nothing else was said that wasn't about a dog.' Sami went on to lament she has yet to see this man again and has no idea if he was interested in her or just wanted to pet her dog. Her Australian followers flocked to the comments to offer advice, with many saying men Down Under are 'dumb' and 'terrible' at flirting. 'We have no rizz I'm sorry,' one person said. 'Aussie guys are DUMB when it comes to flirting. They almost don't do it. They just wanna root!' another added. 'If you see him, ask him out. Aussie men are terrible at that,' a third noted. One other user commented: 'It was definitely about you, but Australians are known not to make any moves for some dumb reason.' Her Australian followers flocked to the comments to offer advice, with many saying men Down Under are 'dumb' and 'terrible' at flirting Sami is one of five children fathered by 59-year-old Hollywood actor Charlie.
