WANDA NARA has hit back at ex-Maxi Lopez after the Argentine slammed her decision to take their kids back to Italy during the pandemic.
Wanda, now the wife and agent to Mauro Icardi, headed to the epicentre of the coronavirus after they left the house they were renting in Paris.

Italy has been the worst-hit country with over 135,000 confirmed cases and over 17,000 deaths.
Striker Icardi is currently on loan at Paris Saint-Germain from Italian side Inter Milan.
Wanda and Lopez have three children together before breaking up in 2013 when she left the midfielder for Icardi – his team-mate at the time.
She now has two children with the striker.
There has since been a bitter feud between the trio that has been reignited with the latest comments.
Lopez, 35, blasted her by writing publically on Instagram: “I would like to know under what criteria you broke the quarantine during a global pandemic.
“The whole world has asked you not to leave and you exposed our kids to a trip to another country.
“You moved to the epicentre of the contagion in Italy without even caring about the consequence??
“What is wrong with your head in these moments?
It was riskier to go to Argentina. Maxi, instead of being happy it’s about my intentions as a mother.

“The most sacred thing in the world right now is the health of our kids? I am outraged by your lack of awareness.”
But straight-talking Wanda has fired back claiming it would have been riskier to head back to Argentina.
She replied: “He accused me of bringing the children from Paris to Italy, the heart of the pandemic.
“But Maxi knows very well where we live: I am not in Como, but in a town near Como, where there are very few cases.
“In Paris, I had to leave the one I was renting, the contract expired.
“We also decided to return after consulting with the pediatrician and a first-line doctor.
“All players from PSG have gone to their countries. And now we are Italians, if something happens to me, I prefer that it happens to me here, at home.
“My country is Italy, which gave me and gave us all the beautiful things we have.
“That’s why I want to stay here. I could also have taken a private flight to return to Argentina, instead, we took two cars from Paris, mine and Mauro’s, divided the children and did 750 kilometers, nine and a half hours of the trip, singing a billion songs non-stop.
“It was riskier to go to Argentina. Maxi, instead of being happy it’s about my intentions as a mother.”
Late last year, Lopez said he had forgiven Icardi after the Inter Milan striker – on loan at Paris Saint Germain – ‘stole his wife’.
Lopez met Icardi when the pair were team-mates at Sampdoria in 2012 and they became friends.

Not long after they met, reports of the alleged affair between Nara and Icardi surfaced – with Icardi explaining in his book how Nara texted him when she was still married.
Lopez and Nara split and began divorce proceedings in December 2013.
The model subsequently married Icardi just five months later in May 2014.
