Maxi López is experiencing one of his best moments on MasterChef Celebrity, where he has become one of the most beloved figures among the audience thanks to his charisma, his relaxed demeanor, and the constant on-screen interactions with Wanda Nara, the show's host.
However, his participation has taken an unexpected turn: the former footballer will temporarily leave the show to accompany his partner, Daniela Christiansson, who is going through the pregnancy of their second child.
The news was discussed on Intrusos (América), where Paula Varela revealed that the production has already decided who will take his place during his absence. The surprise quickly sparked comments: L-Gante will be chosen to replace him.
"Is one of Wanda's exes leaving and another ex coming in? Ex for ex is MasterChef's bet. Maxi's prominence has been very well received and it's something that works for the show," Varela explained, alluding to the media impact caused by the footballer's presence on the reality show.
What will happen with Maxi López on the show?
According to the Intrusos panel, Maxi will continue filming over the next few days, but he has a set date to travel.
