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.

Liverpool set eye-watering Darwin Nunez price tag as Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal eye move ahead of Club World Cup deadline
Liverpool value Darwin Nunez in excess of £70million as they listen to offers this summer. Al Hilal are one of the clubs keen on the Uruguay international who is ready to leave Anfield after a lack of starting opportunities under Arne Slot. Al Nassr made enquiries to sign the 25-year old in January and were prepared to offer £70m but Liverpool were unwilling to listen at that stage as their focus was on winning the Premier League title. Now, with clubs circling and tension high for the Club World Cup deadline, Liverpool want in excess of what Al Nassr were willing to bid earlier in the year. Nunez is a popular figure at Anfield but only managed seven goals in all competitions last season. Still his energy and pace caused consternation in defences and Slot took to using him predominantly from the bench to help swing tight matches Liverpool's way. However, Liverpool are in the market for improvements and with the expected outlay for Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz and Bournemouth 's Milos Kerkez, plus a possible striker and centre back to come later in the window, are looking at opportunities to offset their spending. A number of clubs are showing interest in Nunez but Al Hilal are weighing up a bid today after failing, so far, to tempt Napoli's Victor Osimhen. Sporting Lisbon's Manchester United target Viktor Gyokeres is another on their list. Al Nassr, meanwhile, are keen Liverpool's Luis Diaz but the only club to have made contact so far for the Colombian winger are Barcelona. Ajax want Liverpool goalkeeper Vitezslav Jaros on loan. The Czech Republic international, 23, is well known to Ajax coach John Heitinga after working with him last season. Talks are ongoing for Wirtz and Kerkez. Bournemouth are willing to sell Kerkez after agreeing a fee with Rennes for left back Adrien Truffert.

Love Island viewers unimpressed and slam islander for ‘overusing joke' – did you spot it?
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island has no shortage of tired sayings. From "eggs in one basket" and "my type on paper" to "muggy" and "it is what it is", there's always a phrase or two that spreads through the villa like wildfire.

The repeated references to Colombian Shakira's Hips Don't Lie grated on viewers very quickly, and they're fully expecting to hear it throughout the series. One person complained on X: "i love shakira but the 'hips don't lie' jokes need to GOOOOOO." Another said: "how many times are we gonna have to hear hips don't lie shakira shakira ffs." A third vented: "Can we get some new material or is it just gonna be Shakira Shakira my hips don't lie all summer." Shakira entered the villa first alongside Meg Moore, 25, and the two ladies quickly bonded. Shakira set about telling Megan that she was 'too glamorous for a 9-5' and must do something more exciting for a job. Meg quickly put her straight, revealing she was in fact a payroll specialist which prompted Shakira to squeal that she was a "corporate girlie". Have YOU got a story or an amazing picture or video?
