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.
