Football star Mauro Icardi, 31, and model-TV host Wanda Nara, 38, became one of sports’ most controversial couples after marrying in 2014—less than a year after Nara divorced Icardi’s then-teammate Maxi López. Their decade-long union, fraught with cheating rumors, legal battles, and social media scandals, is nearing its end as divorce proceedings unfold. Nara is reportedly seeking €38 million (£32.28 million) from Icardi, including compensation for her role as his former agent.
Love, Betrayal, and Social Media Wars
Icardi confirmed his new relationship with Argentine model China Suarez, 33, in January 2024, calling their bond “fate” on Instagram. However, Suarez has since sparked speculation she’s mimicking Nara’s provocative social media style:
- Bedroom Poses: Nara posted a lingerie selfie in August 2023 captioned, “Let’s make a video like Wanda Nara.” Weeks later, Suarez shared a nearly identical photo.
- Bikini Clones: Both women promoted lingerie lines with near-identical snaps, while loved-up poolside kisses with Icardi appeared on their pages.
- Workout Dupes: Nara flaunted a black Nike sports bra in a gym selfie; Suarez mirrored the look months later.

Nara accidentally escalated the drama in March 2024 by uploading a family photo that included previews of topless selfies in her camera roll. The post was swiftly deleted but not before going viral.
From Teammates to Enemies
Nara’s relationship with Icardi began shortly after divorcing López, who accused the pair of betrayal. The feud peaked during a 2015 “Wanda Derby” match between Inter Milan and Sampdoria, where López refused to shake Icardi’s hand. I Tattooed López’s children’s names on his arm later.

Agent Wanda: Power, Backlash, and Divorce Threats
As Icardi’s agent, Nara renegotiated his Inter Milan contract, boosting his salary to £3.7 million annually. But her outspoken TV punditry strained his career. In 2019, she criticized Inter’s squad, leading to Icardi being stripped of captaincy. Former agent Abian Morana blasted, “Mauro has lost control of his career.”
Nara defended her role in a male-dominated industry: “I’m revolutionary. In Italy, I’m considered one of the most powerful agents.” Yet her tactics drew hostility—fans threw rocks at her car, and she tearfully addressed critics on TV.
Divorce Warfare
The split turned nastier in 2023 when Nara revealed Icardi threatened to “destroy” her. She accused him of buying their dream Argentine mansion—a $4 million property she’d envisioned for retirement—for himself and Suarez. “Seeing her there breaks my soul,” Nara said on Argentine TV. Police later evicted Icardi from her Buenos Aires home pre-surgery after she reported threats.

Legacy of Scandal
Despite the chaos, Nara earned praise for challenging football’s sexism. Italian journalist Selvaggia Lucarelli dubbed her “one of the most revolutionary women of the past 100 years.”
As Icardi plays for Galatasaray and Suarez leans into her WAG status, Nara focuses on co-parenting their two daughters and her fashion line, Wan Collection. Yet their legal battle rages on, ensuring this saga remains far from over.
