Today, European champions Spain face Belgium at the Los Angeles Stadium in Inglewood for a spot in the World Cup semi-finals (9 p.m./ZDF, Magenta TV and in the live ticker). Presenter Laura Wontorra (37) is back on duty for Magenta. Before the match, she posted several photos from the City of Angels on her Instagram account, writing: "LA Girl forever."
In the idyllic photos taken at the Nobu Malibu restaurant, located right on the beach, her new boyfriend is also visible: Sky presenter Riccardo Basile (34).

Wontorra and Basile Have Known Each Other for Many Years

So far, Wontorra and Basile – apart from the small glimpses on Instagram – are not revealing any details about their relationship. There has been no official love statement from either of them yet. They are said to have been a couple since the beginning of the year, but have known each other for many years. BILD exclusively reported on the relationship at the end of May.
Basile was previously a co-host on "Wontorra – der Fußball Talk," which Laura's father Jörg Wontorra (77) used to host. They kept their relationship out of the public eye for several months. The first sparks reportedly flew as early as February 2026 at BILD's big "Place to B" party.
