But that didn't stop the jealous wife of Federica Balzaretti from throwing shade at Diletta in a recent interview.
Balzaretti, a former Serie A star, teamed up with Diletta on DAZN as a presenter in 2019.
The footballer is married to ballerina Eleonora Abbagnato, who revealed she found Diletta 's beauty intimidating.
Abbagnato appeared on TV show Truth or Dare, claiming a "beautiful woman" had made her "jealous."
She later confirmed to Storie di donne al bivio magazine that the woman in question "was Diletta Leotta."
Abbagnato said: "I love my husband like the first day and I'm jealous [of Diletta].
"In Milan, some time ago, I happened to meet Leotta who, working at DAZN with Federico, seemed to have excessive familiarity with him.
"I immediately took off and introduced myself in a very formal way: 'Pleased to meet you, I'm his wife'.

"Diletta has those curves that I don't have, but it was the memes that were circulating on the web, depicting her and my husband in love, that drove me crazy.
"I respect my husband, I trust him, he loves me like when we met.
"But we are so good together also because I am very careful about anything that could alter our understanding.
"Between her and Federico there has never been anything other than work.
"But Diletta is an exuberant woman, sure of her charm and I wanted to make things clear immediately. The wife is me and that's it."
During her appearance on the show, Abbadnato claimed one incident left her jealous with rage.
The ballerina laughed: "She put her a*** in his face."
Leotta married Karius in June of last year in Sicily.
The shot-stopper currently plays in the Bundesliga.2 for Schalke.
Explaining their long-distance relationship, he said: "Of course, she was hoping a little for [me to join an Italian club].
"I explained it to her. She wishes me the best in my career and said she is fully behind it.
"Milan is not far away. We can find ways to solve it. She has a lot to do too, so we will both be commuting back and forth a bit."
Balzaretti meanwhile moved to DAZN's Champions League coverage before joining his former side Roma as a director in January.

Edinburgh street performer on the podium at the magic 'Olympics'
Matthew Keys, an Edinburgh-based magician, has just returned from Turin where he spent 10 days competing at Fédération Internationale des Sociétés Magiques (FISM), the 'Olympics' of magic. On Saturday he won third prize in the new category of World Champion Of Street Magic. Out of more than 100 applicants, 29 were invited to compete in Turin and just twelve were deemed to be of a high enough standard to compete in the final. Matt said it was a real surprise to get through in the tough weather conditions and against the high standard set by other acts. He said: 'This is a brand new category so it's a historic moment as FISM recognises the ancient art of street magic, which many believe is where performance magic began. 'The competition took place in Turin, Italy and was organised by FISM in cooperation with the host partner Magic Masters. The conference and competition happens every three years with around 5,000 magicians attending from all over the world. 'It's regarded as the highest level at which you can compete as a magician. I have a nine month old, and was torn about leaving him and my partner to go off and compete, but we're all glad I made the decision to go to Italy. I'm so happy to bring back a prize and I've already had offers to perform at festivals across Europe because of it. 'I'm now hoping to use momentum from this win as a platform to organise a little magic and street arts festival on the Plymouth Barbican and in South East Cornwall where I grew up and my parents still live. In Edinburgh, I hope to one day open a small magic theatre as I think it is the perfect city to celebrate magic and there is a great community of magicians here. Several of them were in Italy and offering kind words and support as I competed.' And as for the trick he perfected for Turin, Matthew explained it in detail (without giving it away of course). He said: 'I performed a comedy magic show called Matt Von Trap, and had to adapt to entertain an Italian crowd. Using jokes I'd pre-recorded on a sound board and mixing mime and visual comedy with the existing magic act I performed to a strict 25 minute time limit – having to cut from my usual 40 minute act. 'I performed a mixture of classic magic and new effects. Turning a bubble into a coin. Producing another coin by peeling the letters 'n' and 'o' off from a tattoo on my arm that says 'nothing'. Leaving a 'thing' on my arm and the letters N and O burst into a fireball to become another coin. Nothing up my sleeve! 'I plunged my hand into a bear trap to find a signed card. This is an innovative version of the linking rings with my own unique choreography. 'I made several audience members knights of the guild of the bag of mystery as we hunted for a missing €100 and saved it from the jaws of the lemon of doom. 'I've now got invitations to perform in a few festivals around Europe and I'm looking forward to taking an act I've honed on the streets of Edinburgh to new audiences.'

The Pope's former private chef has opened a restaurant in SoHo
Chef Salvo Lo Castro's resume is truly a journey. The Italian-born chef has cooked all up and down the peninsula, from firing the burners at the three Michelin-starred Enoteca Pinchiorri to manning the kitchen of the five-star hotel San Domenico Palace in Sicily's Taormina region. But perhaps the most stunning of them all in this CV flex: For over a decade, chef Castro spent his time as a private chef for the Vatican, preparing meals for both Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI. As of 2022, the chef moved stateside to introduce New Yorkers to the way that coffee should be consumed with the opening of CASASALVO. Made the Italian way, his four cafes sell espressos, Americanos and cappuccinos at the low price of $2.51. Continuing to cater and work as a private chef on the side, Castro decided it was time to break out on his own, opening his first NYC restaurant in SoHo. As of July 20, chef Castro's restaurant, also named CASASALVO, is now open on 195 Spring Street. The restaurant reads like an elevated neighborhood find with a dining room marked by crisp white tablecloths, Italian walnut paneling and lemon and olive trees that frame the whole thing. The illuminated onyx bar comes fully stocked with over 350 wines for the choosing, sourced from the reaches of Italy and France to New Zealand. But if you are more of a cocktail stan, you can take to the terrace facing Spring Street, as the streetside bar is dedicated to the one and only Aperol Spritz. The menu explores Castro's Italian and Mediterranean influences with starters that include truffle-topped beef carpaccio and deconstructed Mediterranean salad with blocks of feta. However, the meatballs may be his most personal, as the dish takes a page from his mother's kitchen. Pastas and risottos travel all around Italy: Think bowls of paccheri with guanciale and pistachios, and Carnaroli rice with parmigiano crema and summer truffle. From the sea, Dover sole is cooked in a tomato sauce and garnished with mint, while the whole branzino comes with a touch of flair, getting deboned tableside. All meats are cooked over charcoal, including the filet mignon, Colorado lamb chop and house ossobuco. And on the sweet's menu alongside seasonal fruits, eclairs and gelatos, one dessert clearly

I've lost 5 stone in 6 months on Mounjaro - but now I'm unable to do this common beauty ritual
A woman who lost five stone in six months after taking Mounjaro has shared the negative effects of the rapid weight loss - including being unable to perform one very common beauty ritual. Emilly Jane, from Liverpool, has racked up an impressive 70,000 combined followers on TikTok and Instagram after sharing details of her weight loss while on Mounjaro. She is pleased with her progress, and regularly posts 'before and after' pictures comparing herself prior to losing weight and now - after shedding more than 11 stone, or close to 70 kg. But Emilly told her followers there are downsides to the drug that 'no one talks about'. In a candid video, she said: 'I've lost 11 st 4 lbs and I've lost 5 st 2 lbs of that in 28 weeks on Mounjaro. 'Number one is: your brain doesn't catch up with how others are seeing you. 'So, it's taken my head a lot longer to accept that that's me. I still look at pictures and think "Oh my goodness, who's that?"' It's true that people who experience rapid weight loss in a relatively short time period struggle to adjust to the social conventions of their new weight. On top of this, looking so drastically different can create dissonance between how people perceive themselves, and how they actually look and are treated. 'It's very, very strange and hard to navigate,' continued Emilly, before moving on to the next after effect. 'I am now visible to other people,' she said. 'Certain types of people as well, and I don't like it.' Likely alluding to men who display a romantic interest in her, Emilly joked: 'I would like an invisibility cloak back, please, which is what I had when I was bigger. 'I don't like it. Stop looking at me and interacting with me - I am socially awkward.' A surprising item on Emilly's cons list was her sudden inability to perform a very common beauty ritual - shaving her underarms. 'I can no longer shave my armpits with ease,' she said. 'If you see red marks under my arms in my pictures and videos, just mind your business.' Although it sounds unusual underarms typically become hollow or concave after weight loss, making it much harder to find a smooth surface to shave on. Those who have gone from overweight to comparatively skinny have actually reported more difficulty shaving in other areas after they become bonier - like the knees and ankles. Emilly said: 'Having loose skin makes it really, really difficult to set a "goal" and feel "happy" at a "goal weight". It's a nightmare.' She said people now comment on her weight more than they ever have in her life. Fed up with the interference, she added: 'Apparently, it's up to everybody else to choose a goal for me and tell me that it's time to stop.' Of her new-found boniness, Emilly said: 'Lying in the bath is no longer comfortable. There appears to be hard things that stick into the bath. I don't like it.' Lastly, the Mounjaro-user noted the vast amounts she spends on clothing, only to render them unwearable by shedding even more weight, and being unsure how to dress herself. 'I still have a mental breakdown every time I get dressed because I've got no identity,' she said. 'I don't know what to wear. I don't know what I can and can't wear, and it's very confusing. 'If you're thinking about starting Mounjaro or you're on a Mounjaro journey, make sure you assess all these things first.' Weight loss drugs have long since been a topic of conversation, but since 'fat jabs' like Ozempic and Mounjaro came on the scene, talk of diet methods has been swirling online. And although the efficacy of natural routes has been called into question, many traditionalists believe taking injections to lose weight is 'cheating' or 'lazy'. A woman who lost four stone without the help of any weight loss drugs has insisted that 'volume eating' is the way to go. Ashleigh Wilson shared her full plate of lunch that included chicken flatbread with vegetables on TikTok, insisting she'd feel 'sickly full' after it. But the 26-year-old from Blackpool claimed that despite the meal being large in size, it was low in calories. The respectable volume also meant that she 'will not be going to that snack cupboard' later as she will not be feeling peckish. The influencer, who once weighed 15st 8lbs, said: 'So I've now lost four stone and if anybody asks me how I did that, I always talk about volume eating. 'This whole plate is 398 calories and just over 40 grams of protein. It's just chicken flatbread and veggies. 'So beetroot, cucumber, tomato, onion and then some chicken breast I seasoned and chopped up and put over it. I will eat this and I will probably feel sickly full after it. 'However, best believe I will not be going to that snack cupboard, and I'll be fine, more than fine, until dinner time. If you want to lose weight, start with volume eating.'
