German TV personality Laura Wontorra (37) has publicly introduced her new boyfriend, TV presenter Riccardo Basile (34), on Instagram for the first time. The couple, who have known each other for years and previously worked together on 'Wontorra der Football Talk' hosted by Laura's father Jörg Wontorra, have been romantically involved since early 2026. They kept their relationship private for several months until the first sparks reportedly flew at BILD's 'Place to B' party in February 2026. BILD had exclusively reported their relationship at the end of May 2026. In her Instagram story, Wontorra shared a mirror selfie from New York's SoHo district, while Basile posted content from the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), Brooklyn Bridge, and the city skyline. Wontorra is currently working for Magenta TV, reporting live from World Cup stadiums, making their time together valuable. Basile is also using the New York trip for professional commitments, including a collaboration with a dietary supplement manufacturer.

The first sparks reportedly flew in February 2026 at the "Place to B" party hosted by BILD.

Basile is also using the New York trip to fulfill professional commitments, including filming a collaboration with a dietary supplement manufacturer.
