Maxi López and Wanda Nara were one of the most famous (or infamous) couples in football, starring in sports news and gossip in 2013, when the woman separated from the former Vasco player after cheating on him with his teammate, at the time, Mauro Icardi. Now, Maxi and Wanda are back to sharing the spotlight.
Both are participating in the Argentine program MasterChef Celebrity. Wanda is presenting the reality show, while Maxi, retired from the field, is part of the cast as a competitor.
— I can’t believe this. This man lived on frozen food for a long time — Wanda joked, when Maxi was announced.
The program debuted this week and the first records show some provocations between the two.
— I have complaints to make. You found a woman thinner, taller and more beautiful than me — she said to her ex-husband.
— We both made changes — replied Maxi.
— You did better — Wanda concluded.
