A Public Debut
Exactly one week ago, Wontorra introduced Basile as her new boyfriend for the first time in her Insta story — a joint mirror selfie taken over the streets of New York. Wontorra is currently working for Magenta TV during the World Cup, reporting live from the stadiums. In her free time, she appears to be enjoying her moments with her boyfriend — and, apparently, delicious food is always part of the picture.

Neither party has issued an official statement regarding their relationship. BILD exclusively reported on the couple at the end of May. However, the two have known each other for many years.
The First Sparks Flew at a BILD Party in February 2026
Basile previously served as a co-host on "Wontorra – der Fußball-Talk," which Laura's father Jörg Wontorra (77) hosted at the time. The couple kept their relationship out of the public eye for several months. The first sparks reportedly flew in February 2026 at BILD's big "Place to B" party.
