Former Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius (32, Schalke 04) and popular sports reporter Dileta Lekota (34) have welcomed their second child.

The UK's 'The Sun' reported on the 10th (local time) that Lekota and Karius gave birth to their second son, Leonardo.

The couple shared a tender photo on Instagram with their first daughter and the newborn baby, posing together on a bed. Along with the photo, Lekota left a short caption: "Leonardo."

Karius and Lekota tied the knot in 2024 after two years of dating. They had their first daughter, Aria, in 2023, and became parents to two children on the 9th when they welcomed a healthy baby boy into their arms.

Lekota's 9.4 million followers went wild over the birth news. Fans left congratulatory comments such as "Welcome, Leonardo," "Wishing you happiness," "Congratulations to the point of tears," "What a truly beautiful family," and "May God's blessing always be with you."

Karius, who contributed to Schalke's promotion to the first division this season, celebrated a double joy with the birth of his son immediately after the promotion. Goalkeeper Karius, who played as the starting goalkeeper after donning the Schalke jersey in January 2025, became the top contributor to the team's promotion. Schalke, which secured a top-half finish in the 2025-2026 second division season thanks to Karius's performance, will return to the first division stage for the first time in four seasons.

Karius, who was blamed for a fatal error leading to defeat in the 2017-2018 UEFA Champions League (UCL) final during his past Liverpool days, has now returned to the first division after enduring a long trial.

After the promotion was confirmed, the Schalke squad, including Edin Dzeko, went on vacation to Ibiza, Spain, to celebrate the championship. In videos released on social media (SNS), Karius took the stage as a DJ on his personal yacht floating on the sea, leading the victory party and savoring the joy.
