Stunning Italian football presenter Diletta Leotta dating actor Can Yaman leaving millions of Instagram fans heartbroken

revealed the lucky man is actor Can Yaman - 2019's GQ Men of the Year Best Rising Actor.

Yaman, 31, and Leotta, 29, were snapped by paparazzi in Rome and are understood to have enjoyed a romantic break together in the Italian capital where the Turkish film star was filming.

Chi wrote on January 13: "Diletta Leotta and the Turkish actor Can Yaman, the new sex symbol of TV and social media, are in love.

"They have spent five days of passion in a large hotel in the centre of Rome.

"They exchanged kisses and effusions and the days just passed saw the birth of a new, overwhelming love."

However, they had to go their separate ways last Sunday when Yaman flew back to Turkey and Leotta headed to cover Roma-Lazio match.

But the news of their relationship left many of her adoring supporters gutted.

On the Chi post, one commented: "What a disappointment if that were true."

Another wrote: "No oh well... only disappointments in this life."

And a third said: "My heart went crack!"

Leotta previously presented Sky Sports' coverage of Serie B in Italy but has since moved to broadcaster DAZN and now presents Serie A fixtures.

She used to date Italian boxer Daniele Scardina but called time on their relationship.

And then last year there were wild claims in the Italian press that she was seeing married AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

They first met during lockdown when they filmed an ad for running app BuddyFit and were later spotted at a restaurant in Sardinia together where Leotta was celebrating her 29th birthday on the island.

But the suggestions of any romance were strongly denied by Leotta's representatives, who said there was 'no relationship' between the pair.
