From legal disputes to shared humor: the striking back-and-forth between the businesswoman and her ex-husband
Wanda's response, true to her sharp and playful style, was not long in coming: "The host can't talk much with the contestants. Keep practicing. Don't look for special treatment. I see you're doing well, you're competitive. Think of every dish as a final"
However, the phrase that resonated the most was the mention of the "Rolex from the Champions League final and Santa Bárbara," a direct reference to two objects loaded with symbolic value: a luxury watch linked to Maxi's soccer past, and the famous property they shared during their marriage.
The Santa Bárbara mansion, located in an exclusive gated community in Tigre, was for years one of the main points of conflict between Wanda and Maxi after their separation in 2013. At that time, the businesswoman kept the house, which caused tensions and claims from the former player. The property was mentioned in multiple interviews, publications, and legal documents, becoming a symbol of the dispute.
Over time, and after numerous scandals—including the ups and downs of Wanda's relationship with Mauro Icardi—the relationship between Wanda and Maxi seems to have entered a more relaxed stage. The promise to "give back Santa Bárbara" if he wins MasterChef Celebrity not only shows a more relaxed tone, but also demonstrates that some chapters from the past can be rewritten with humor.
The Argentine entertainment world was once again surprised to see a display of camaraderie between Wanda Nara and Maxi López, a former couple who for years were at the center of media and legal disputes. This time, the reason was an exchange of messages that the businesswoman publicly shared on her social media, where there was no shortage of jokes, memories, and an unusual promise related to MasterChef Celebrity.
Maxi López will be one of the upcoming contestants on the culinary reality show that Wanda will host in its new season. The announcement had already caused anticipation, but it was the former player himself who fueled the excitement by sending her a WhatsApp message that quickly went viral: "Boluda, I'm making homemade bread, never in my life... let's see how it turns out."
Wanda, amused and puzzled by her ex's culinary enthusiasm, did not hesitate to respond with irony and a touch of nostalgia: "I never imagined reading this message from you. #yourproudchildren. If you win, I'll give you back the Rolex from the Champions League final and Santa Bárbara. Ask ChatGPT for original recipes."
Far from backing down, Maxi raised the stakes: "Meat, lentils, and broccoli, I'm all in ehhh"
