Mauro Icardi's like on a model amid rumors with China Suárez

A simple like on social media generated a new focus of attention on Mauro Icardi's private life. Amid rumors of a crisis with China Suárez, the footballer interacted with posts from a model from Córdoba, and the gesture did not go unnoticed.

According to journalist Juan Etchegoyen on the program Nuevo Día, from Ciudad Magazine, the athlete "went too far." The host explained that Icardi liked content from a woman who is not his current partner and who had also been linked to him in the past.

The protagonist of the interaction is Rocío Galera, a model from Córdoba. Etchegoyen detailed that it was not just any like, but a reaction that caught attention precisely because of the context: the start of MasterChef Celebrity, with Wanda Nara hosting, and comments about a possible crisis between Icardi and China Suárez.

The journalist added that they had previously linked both of them, which increased interest in the recent contact. “In the past, he was linked to her… and what stands out is that, it’s not a normal like, especially in the midst of a romance with China,” he indicated.

The model's confirmation

To verify the information, Etchegoyen directly contacted Rocío Galera. The young woman confirmed the gesture and explained what had happened exactly.

“Hello, Juan, I’m fine. Over the weekend, Mauro liked a highlighted story and a post of mine. Then he removed it, but it seems people got to see it,” the model replied.

The clarification makes it clear that the footballer indeed reacted to her content and then deleted those interactions. Still, the movement was recorded and generated comments on social media.

Etchegoyen specified that he was the one who contacted Galera to verify the details and that the model did not seek to bring up the topic. After the first message, the young woman did not respond again about whether Icardi usually reacts to her posts or if there was any subsequent contact.

The context of the rumors

The episode occurs at a sensitive moment. Rumors of a crisis between Mauro Icardi and China Suárez circulated strongly after a controversial weekend, just as the new season of MasterChef Celebrity was starting.

In this context, any gesture from the footballer on social media generates interpretations. The like to Rocío Galera, combined with the fact that they had already been linked before, fueled speculation about the state of his current relationship.

The model, for her part, limited herself to confirming what had happened and did not provide further details. She did not talk about any subsequent exchange or a closer relationship, only about the like that the player left her and then deleted.
