The ongoing public and legal battle between Mauro Icardi, Galatasaray’s star striker and his wife, TV show host Wanda Nara, shows no signs of slowing down.
Recent weeks have brought leaked conversations, provocative social media posts, and alleged infidelities, keeping their separation in the spotlight.
The couple’s increasingly acrimonious divorce involves custody disputes, accusations of manipulation and escalating tensions with other public figures.
Custody dispute between Mauro Icardi, Wanda Nara intensifies with leaked audio
The custody of the couple’s daughters, Francesca and Isabella, remains a central issue in the divorce. Leaked audio revealed a heated phone call where Wanda Nara begged to speak with her children, but Mauro Icardi refused.
Nara accused Icardi of instilling fear in their children, saying, “Francesca, do you want to talk to Mom?” The 9-year-old responded affirmatively, but Icardi claimed the girls were busy and preferred not to talk.
Nara criticized the children’s caretaker, alleging mistreatment. “Listen to the children,” she told Icardi, urging him to prioritize their daughters’ well-being. Icardi defended his actions, saying he was handling household responsibilities after the nanny’s departure.
Mauro Icardi’s messages regarding Nara’s alleged infidelity with Keita Balde
Mauro Icardi accused Wanda Nara of infidelity, focusing on an alleged affair with the Senegalese footballer Keita Baldé. Leaked security footage reportedly shows Balde visiting their Paris home while Icardi was away.
In text exchanges from July 29, 2022, Icardi demanded answers. “What did you do in the bathroom, Wanda?” he asked repeatedly. In another message, he expressed disbelief, saying, “In my house… I can’t believe this. Why?”
Icardi compared the situation to his past interactions with Eugenia ‘La China’ Suárez, noting, “I showed you everything. Now you do the same.” Despite Nara’s denials, he continued to press her for details, saying, “Stop lying. Tell me everything.”
These messages, part of the legal battle, are both being scrutinized for their coercive nature and used as proof of Nara’s infidelity.
Wanda Nara’s allegations of coercion and fear
Wanda Nara shared a detailed message expressing her concerns about Icardi’s behavior. She stated, “I’m not happy and haven’t been for a long time. Your way of being makes me afraid, and I can’t continue like this.” In the same message, she added: “I left because I was scared. I want time to figure out what we both feel.”
Nara described a pattern of controlling and aggressive behavior. “You threatened me yesterday, saying you would rip my neck off. I cannot live like this anymore. I am afraid,” she wrote in one of the messages submitted as evidence.
She also accused Icardi of escalating their disputes to the point where she felt unsafe. “Your actions are obsessive, possessive, and violent,” she said, emphasizing that she wanted to prioritize her children’s well-being and seek peace for herself.
Her lawyers have included these allegations in filings presented to Argentine authorities, claiming that Icardi’s actions amount to coercion and gender-based violence.
“We need space to avoid further harm to both parties and our children,” Nara concluded, reinforcing her decision to move forward with legal proceedings.
La China Suárez’s involvement adds fuel to the divorce drama
Actress Eugenia “La China” Suárez’s connection to Mauro Icardi continues to draw attention. Her recent social media posts, showing her on what appears to be Icardi’s sofa, have fueled speculation about their relationship.
Fans quickly identified similarities between her posts and Icardi’s home, sparking widespread commentary.
Suárez also shared cryptic messages about her happiness during the holidays, adding to rumors about her involvement with Icardi. Despite mounting evidence, neither Suárez nor Icardi has confirmed their relationship.
Financial control, restrictions on travel heighten tensions
Financial control has become a contentious issue. Icardi cut off Nara’s financial access, which she claims left her and their children without resources. These incidents have been cited by Nara’s lawyers as examples of controlling behavior.
Legal filings show that custody agreements have limited Icardi’s ability to travel with their daughters, reportedly thwarting plans to spend New Year’s Eve with Suarez.
Nara, now in Uruguay with her partner L-Gante, has taken steps to ensure the children remain in her care. Her strategic legal maneuvers have left Icardi anchored in Argentina, unable to take the girls abroad without her consent.
Public exchanges reveal emotional conflict between Mauro Icardi and Wanda Nara
Both Icardi and Nara have shared emotional messages in the public domain. Icardi’s Christmas post featured him with his daughters, accompanied by the caption, “The best gift is not under the tree but here with me.”
This message was seen as a veiled comment directed at Nara.
The chats that leaked also show Icardi oscillating between pleas for reconciliation and aggressive threats.
“These are Instagram chats, and from what we understand, they’re from the time when Wanda had blocked Icardi on WhatsApp. It’s a mix of love and hate that Icardi shows toward Wanda all the time,” said panelist Santiago Sposato before reading the messages.
“Please. If you could just do things right for once, you know I’d give you everything. Come to Türkiye, let’s start a happy life with the kids. Let’s leave the chaos behind, please,” read Sposato, referring to messages Icardi had sent Wanda Nara, supposedly in August this year.
“Keep messing around with that broke loser. I’m done being nice and a fool. I’ll make your life hell in ways that hurt you, bother you, and break you, just like you’ve done to me,” Sposato continued, quoting the footballer’s messages.
Nara’s responses reflect her determination to move forward. “I’m not happy,” she wrote. “I’m choosing peace for me and my children.”
The divorce proceedings, scheduled to continue in Italy in early 2025, are likely to bring further revelations. Icardi remains focused on custody arrangements, while Nara prioritizes her career and new relationship.
