The return took place amid intense days for the former footballer, who traveled unexpectedly from Argentina after some health complications experienced by the Swedish model.
During the weeks Maxi was in Argentina filming the culinary reality show, Christiansson shared several stories showing how the little girl was coping with her father's absence.
"Our daughter is doing very well. I do everything I can to entertain her so she doesn't feel her father's absence as much," she said a few days ago. "Today she is very sensitive. It's clear how much it affects her to know that he's about to return. She will be the happiest in the world when she sees him."
Her words were soon fulfilled: the image of Elle throwing herself into Maxi's arms became the symbol of a reunion filled with tenderness.

Meanwhile, while Maxi was in Argentina, Elle never stopped accompanying him from afar. In one of the videos Daniela shared, she can be seen very focused in front of a laptop screen watching her father on MasterChef Celebrity Argentina.
In the recording, the model can be heard asking: "Who's there?", and the little girl, with a huge smile, replies: "Daddy!" That connection at a distance is what made the reunion in Geneva so moving for the whole family.

Through her social media, Christiansson also decided to clarify some rumors regarding Maxi's absence and made it clear that everything was part of an agreement between the two of them.
"While we wait for them at the airport (Elle fell asleep in the car), I have a ton of messages (...). What happened this Monday was intense, but it's over now and we're fine," she wrote before he landed.

Additionally, the model emphasized: "No, I'm not angry. I know very well what Maxi's goals are in being away from us at this time, even while I'm pregnant. The reasons are important and his goals are bigger than many can imagine."
She added: "I know he would never do anything that could put us at risk or harm us. We made the decision together to make this sacrifice and live this distance for a while."
