      Inside Wanda Nara and Mauro Icardi’s on-off love story, from sex 12 times a day to breaking up before happy reunion

      by

      WANDA Nara and Mauro Icardi’s marriage has had more twists than a South American soap opera.The footballer, 30, and his super agent Wag, 36, are seemingly happier than ever, but it’s been a turbulent few years.
      Wanda Nara’s on-off romance to Mauro Icardi has dominated the gossip pagesCredit: Instagram @wandanara
      Nara shows off a new sparkler as their romance appears very much back on
      They appeared to be finished for good, when the blonde beauty announced their separation in December, following a make-or-break holiday in the Maldives.
      The pair also began seeing other people, with Wanda hooking up with a rapper and Mauro cosying up to a stunning Turkish actress.
      But their relationship is now stronger than ever, with Wanda showing off a new ruby and diamond ring and the Argentinian striker leaning into to her for a kiss.
      Their romance began in controversial style…

      Backstabbing
      Before she got together Mauro, Wanda was married to former Sampdoria star Maxi Lopez.
      Icardi arrived at the Serie A club in 2011, where he was warmly welcomed by his fellow countryman and his wife.
      They went on family holidays and struck up a firm friendship, however by 2013 Lopez and Wanda’s marriage hit the rocks.
      Soon after, Icardi and Wanda were an item, with rumours alleging that they were having an affair behind Lopez’s back.

      But Mauro denied the accusation. “I was a friend of the couple, an acquaintance, and it was all very normal,” he said.
      “After that, Wanda split up and we kept in contact, and it just happened.”
      Wanda sung from the same hymn sheet.
      “After the divorce, I had gone back to live in Argentina and already had the kids registered for the new school year,” she said.
      “I had to come back to Milan to finalise some paperwork and he offered to lend me his car, leaving me the keys to his house, too.
      “He asked if I wanted to have dinner with him, but the fridge was empty. I knocked up some pasta and the rest just happened spontaneously.”

      Nara was accused of cheating on Lopez with Icardi
      Getting steamy
      A physical attraction clearly pulls these two together.
      After complaining that she was sexually starved by Lopez during their marriage, Wanda has been very open about her love life with Icardi.
      She boasted about her prowess between the bed sheets in 2021 with a Valentine’s Day message about how she likes to look after her man.
      She wrote: “Saint Valentine is….cooking for your love every day, waiting for him with the best steak sandwich prepared by me at 3am after a match…or simply going down to the kitchen in the early hours and preparing the best sandwiches in the world with chicken and avocado…making your favourite deserts in the afternoon…and being the best in bed.”
      Former Italy defender Daniele Adani also dished the dirt on a rumour he heard that Icardi and Nara have sex up to 12-times-a-day on Christian Vieri’s Twitch channel.
      While, when she was bashed by trolls online she said she performs oral sex on Icardi every night.
      On social media they often post steamy and intimate photos together.

      Infidelity
      In 2021, the wheels appeared to come off when Wanda went on a rant about an alleged infidelity in their marriage.
      The buxom beauty angrily tweeted: ‘Another family that you have ruined for a s***”, she began.
      She then unfollowed Icardi on Twitter, before admitting she had split from him to a friend over a cheating storm.
      Wanda’s “I’ve separated” message went viral after it was shared by Argentine showbiz journalist Ker Weinstein, who is reportedly ‘close’ to her.
      Ker published the note which was reportedly sent to her privately by Paris-based Wanda and wrote alongside it: “‘Bomb’. Mauro and Wanda separated. A real shame. I hope they patch things up. There’s a woman who’s the third party in discordance. I’m in shock.”
      Wanda also appeared to confirm she blames actress Maria Eugenia Suarez for trying to snatch Icardi from her, with the two allegedly texting one another.
      Suarez has been widely identified as the “third party in discordance” in Argentine media, however the model herself denies the claims, saying: “I have no idea where all this came from. Whoever it may be. I don’t even know them. I myself have just separated.”

      Breaking up and moving on
      Last year, with trouble in paradise, the pair announced a (what appeared to be) a final break up.
      The previous year trying to patch up their differences, including a luxurious holiday in the Maldives, wasn’t enough to save their marriage.
      Back in October, Wanda was spotted getting very intimate with toyboy pop star L-Gante, also from Argentina in a music video.
      Mauro was furious. He called her a “laughing stock”.
      It was released after she was seen kissing the rapper in a bowling alley, sparking rumours they were together.
      Mauro, himself, was keen to move on. On loan at Galatasaray, he met stunning Turkish actress Devrim Ozkan and they were believed to have began courting.
      She was spied at several Galatasaray matches, while she also posed for a picture with ex-Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira on a night out.
      It was seemingly the nail in the coffin of ‘Wandauro’.
      But wait…
      Wanda’s latest Instagram post suggests the spark is back, if it ever went out at all.
      Celebrating their union, perhaps, she can be seen showing off a brand new ring on her wedding finger.
      Wanda and Mauro appear happier than ever

      But one of her 16.4m followers was having none of it as they posted a cutting comment.

      Inside the VERY glamorous life of Premier League’s hottest WAG who is building ‘Instagram empire’ with sizzling snaps

      by

      FOR years the likes of Victoria Beckham and Coleen Rooney ruled the roost as the ultimate footballer WAGs. But a fresh crop of glamorous wives and girlfriends are now emerging to steal their limelight.
      Maja was crowned hottest WAG in a survey by BettingSites.co.ukCredit: Refer to Caption

      Leading the pack is Maja Nilsson Lindelöf, who’s married to Manchester United defender Victor Lindelöf and was crowned the Premier League’s hottest WAG in a recent survey.
      The entrepreneurial Swedish beauty, 29, is founder of the fashion brand Lis Bonne Atelier, and writes blogs for a glossy magazine.
      She’s also teamed up with Victor to become a human rights ambassador for UNICEF, using their platform to highlight the work being done to protect children around the world.
      Influencer Maja is hot property on Instagram, with nearly 250K followers and each post totting up thousands of likes.
      READ MORE ABOUT WAGS
      She regularly shares glam shots of exotic holidays in places like Provence and Greece, as well as sweet snaps of her husband and their two children.
      Brand and culture expert Nick Ede reckons Maja has the potential to become the most sought-after WAG in the world – and rake in thousands in the process.
      He tells The Sun: “Maja is stunning, stylish, sophisticated, and compassionate.
      “She stands out as she is a savvy businesswoman who has used her modelling experience and popularity to make her mark as both an influencer and charity ambassador.

      “She embodies a new breed of WAG who doesn’t rely on their famous husband and has carved a successful career on her own.”
      According to Inzpire’s influencer earning calculator, Maja is already able to rake in between £1,330 and £1,664 per post on Instagram.
      Nick says: ” She’s doing all the right things by creating beautifully shot content and building a strong following.
      “With beauty and lifestyle, she can really start to develop her own brand to create a ready-to-wear collection and develop a beauty lifestyle range.
      Maja embodies a new breed of WAG who doesn’t rely on their famous husband and has carved a successful career on her ownNick Ede, branding expert
      “As a mother she can also maximise on the fact that parenting, childrenswear and lifestyle is huge and she could follow in the successful footsteps of Emma Bunton and her brand Kit and Kin.”
      Nick believes Maja can take her influencer status a step further by securing lucrative endorsement deals with international brands.
      He says: “She already has her own fashion brand but I can see other brands partnering with her in the fashion and beauty arenas.
      “She has worked mainly with Swedish brands but I can see the big players like L’Oreal, Charlotte Tilbury and perhaps even Victoria Beckham Beauty using her as a model and brand ambassador.
      “Fashion brands like Good American or Skims would surely jump at the chance to have her model for them.”

      Maja is no wallflower and isn’t afraid to speak her mind – a quality Nick thinks will help her go far.
      She went so far as criticising her husband’s team, just like Cristiano Ronaldo’s fiancee Georgina Rodriguez has done in the past.
      In 2017 Maja slammed the eye-watering cost Manchester United players must cough up to hire a private box for their friends and family on match days – said to be between £24,000 and £81,600 a season.
      On the podcast Life on the Stand, she said: “The players have the option to rent a box and I’m not even going to tell you for how much but a disgusting amount of money.
      “And if you don’t buy one you’re considered to be a loser. But having a box is wonderful because you have your own waiter.”
      That same year the couple auctioned off their private box for charity, with all proceeds going to a children’s charity in Sweden.
      Maja is a great believer in female empowerment and family, so it’s important to her to stand up for what she believes inNick Ede
      Nick says he believes Maja will be “applauded” for speaking out, adding: “She’s got a voice and is using it.
      “She is a great believer in female empowerment and family, so it’s important to her to stand up for what she believes in.”
      Nick believes it’s only a matter of time before Maja becomes a “major player” in the fashion and beauty world.
      “I think Georgina Rodríguez is in an incredibly unique position, but I can see Maja up there, rivalling the likes of Victoria Beckham even,” he says.
      “I think she can start to engage more followers in the UK. Perhaps speak on her reels and give more of a glimpse into her lifestyle.
      “Perhaps too she needs to get a cover interview in a glossy magazine. But for now, she’s doing all the right things.”

      Although little is known about Maja’s upbringing, we know she was born in Sweden and studied a marketing degree at university.
      According to Soccer Souls, she met future husband Victor, 28, back in 2013, during the early stages of his career at an annual festival held in their home country.
      She reportedly sent him a message on Facebook after their initial meeting and agreed to go on a date.
      Maja has been extremely supportive of Victor’s career and has been by his side during his transfer from Benifica to United.
      The defender is said to have popped the question during a romantic holiday to the Maldives. They married one year later in a lavish ceremony in Sweden.
      In March 2019 the couple announced the birth of their first child, and the second arrived in October 2021.
      In January last year the family experienced a frightening encounter when their home was broken into while Victor was away playing a match against Brentford.

      Maja and their children were home at the time. She released a statement saying: “I was home alone with both the kids but we managed to hide and lock ourselves in a room before they entered our house.
      “We are okay under the circumstances but it was obviously a very traumatic and scary moment for both me and my little kids.”

      Gerard Pique ‘to announce engagement’ to girlfriend Clara Chia after ex Shakira ‘cosies up’ to F1 star Lewis Hamilton

      by

      Gerard Pique is making plans to wed his new beau Clara Chia and is set to announce their engagement, according to Spanish media. Earlier this month Pique, 36, and Clara, 24, were spotted at a Barcelona jeweller and are said to have had a conversation with an employee there about a made-to-measure ring.

      Pique split from Shakira – his partner of more than a decade and mother to his children – just a year ago.
      The footie star and Clara Chia went public with their relationship less than a year ago at a music festival in Barcelona.
      Sources close to Clara Chia and Pique claim the couple are indeed planning to tie the knot and are doing it within the month.
      The source told Spanish media: “Gerard Pique and Clara Chia are going to get married.

      “The ex-footballer and his girlfriend have taken this very important decision.
      “They have also planned the ideal moment to make the good news public. The announcement will be made on another important date for Pique, the wedding of his brother Marc who is going to marry his childhood sweetheart Maria on June 24.”
      Shakira reportedly refused to let Pique take their two sons, Milan, ten, and Sasha, eight, to his brother’s wedding.
      The Colombian singer also seems to be moving on: she’s been linked to F1 driver Lewis Hamilton since her move to Miami with her sons.
      Most read in Football
      The two were first spotted when Shakira attended the Miami Grand Prix last month, and they seem to have shared an intimate dinner afterwards.
      Videos appeared to show the Hips Don’t Lie singer and the Formula One legend mingling in the popular restaurant, Cipriani, in Miami.
      Only days after the dinner, Lewis showed off his chivalry when he whisked the Colombian songstress off for a boat day with pals in Miami.
      Shakira was grinning as they cruised around Biscayne Bay with pals, before being dropped off at the dock of her £12million mansion.
      They were later photographed together at a dinner with friends, following Hamilton’s race at the Spanish Grand Prix – and Hamilton’s arm was wrapped around her.
      The pair headed out for dinner after the race with singer Mustafa sharing snaps of the group on Instagram.
      Despite the rumours, other sources close to the couple claim they’re “just friends”.

      It comes after rumours the pair are dating have been circulating on and off for some time.
      The 25-year-old model, who dated Kanye West, was spotted in the background of one of Lewis’ Coachella pictures in May.
      Earlier this year fans of the racing star were convinced the pair were an item when it seemed they might have been away together in Antarctica with friends.
      In a screenshot of Hamilton and friend Shaun White in the hot tub, the arm of an unidentifiable woman can be seen next to the British racing driver.

      And F1 fans believe it to be the supermodel, who also shared pictures from Antarctica over the course of the trip.
      One social media user said “Of course he’s on the same boat. Check Shaun White’s Insta. They’re in the hot tub and a girl (Juliana Nalu?) in Lewis’ arms.”
      Another added: “Juliana Nalu with Lewis Hamilton. LOL this darling is too good.”
      More recently both Lewis and Juliana appeared to post photos from a New York restaurant on the same day, although it was unclear if they were there together.

      Model Juliana also regularly posts stunning pictures on Instagram, with Lewis showing his appreciation by liking one of her recent shares.
      The model also made an appearance at the Miami Grand Prix paddock in May, where Hamilton was competing.
      Lewis and Shakira were first spotted getting cosy after races in Spain and the US, sparking rumours of a “love triangle” involving Hollywood star Tom Cruise.
      A source close to the pair told People that the two are in the beginning stages of dating after being spotted together multiple times.
      The source said: “They’re spending time together and in the ‘getting to know you’ stage.
      “It’s fun and flirty.”
      Speculation that the famous duo are in a “love triangle” with Hollywood megastar Tom Cruise could potentially put Sir Lewis and Cruise’s 10-year bromance in jeopardy.
      The two were first spotted when Shakira attended the Miami Grand Prix last month, and they seem to have shared an intimate dinner afterwards.
      Videos appeared to show the Hips Don’t Lie singer and the Formula One legend mingling in the popular restaurant, Cipriani, in Miami.

      Despite the rumours, other sources close to the couple claim they’re “just friends”.
      Shakira has seen some major life changes in the last year, after her bombshell split from ex Gerard Pique and her move to Miami.
      She told the audience at an awards show recently: “It’s been a year where I’ve realised we women are stronger than we think, braver than we believed, more independent than we were taught to be.

      “Because what woman hasn’t at some time in her life forgotten herself because she’s seeking the attention and love of someone else? It happened to me, more than once.”

      Marcus was spotted returning to a hotel with influencer Courtney Caldwell
      As recently as Valentine’s Day this year, he went all out with candles and flowers at the couple’s Manchester home and in April hired a Boeing 737 to whisk Lucia to New York.
      But it appears the holiday could have been a last hurrah for the almost 10-year relationship after it emerged the couple parted shortly after.
      A source insisted: “It’s nothing complicated. The relationship ran its course and they remain very close friends.”

      Courtney Caldwell was seen returning to the player’s luxury hotel at 5am after attending an exclusive nightclub.  She sells workout and meal plans online and enjoys lucrative deals with brands like Gymshark.
      Psychologists say it looks like Marcus, who was awarded an MBE for his work to provide free school meals during lockdown, is enjoying his new-found freedom, possibly for the first time in his life, after being in a relationship with Lucia since the age of 15.
      Psychologist Emma Kenny said: “It’s quite a sad split as Marcus and Lucia looked like a sure thing.
      “If they had negotiated this relationship, it would have been quite beautiful. You are more likely to have a successful relationship and marriage if you get together early on because you’ve grown together.

      “When you come out of a long-term relationship, there’s definitely a pressure to feel like you’re not going to get stuck in that past situation and, if you’ve been together for a long time, in your head you try to make up for those lost years.
      “He’s been with Lucia so long he’s not had the chance to really experience everything that comes with being a famous person.

      “He’s watched his contemporaries and peers go through various experiences while he’s been stuck behind glass being a loyal partner and that glass is now shattered.
      “Women will be throwing themselves at Marcus and, if he wants to, he could be like a boy in a candy shop.  But this split won’t be without its wounds.”
      Lucia, who has a degree in advertising and brand management, has been beside Rashford throughout his meteoric rise to footballing stardom and travelled with him to various tournaments with him, including the World Cup.
      The pair got engaged in May last year after Rashford proposed on a holiday to California and the couple posted Instagram pics kissing next to a white floral heart, standing on a bed of flowers.

      He popped the question at a lavish villa after they shared a romantic meal at celebrity seafood restaurant Catch LA and later celebrated with a close group of pals including United teammate Jesse Lingard.
      The proposal came just four months after they got back together following an eight month break-up.
      The high school loves first parted in May 2021 and blamed the pressure of the pandemic lockdown for their split.
      A source said at the time: “It is as a result of the pressures and strains of the Covid pandemic and lockdowns and the confinement that has brought with it over the last 12 months.
      “There is a strong mutual love and respect for one another, having met at school, and there is a continued dialogue with the hope of reconciliation in the future.”
      When they reunited in January last year sources said the break had been good for the couple and gave them “breathing space.”  Their engagement soon followed.
      Emma Kenny believes the couple might yet get back together saying: “It’s happened before and their bond is obviously very strong.”
      Psychologist Dr Arthur Cassidy agrees saying: “If you get together at a young age, you grow and develop your identities together in a love fusion. There’s also social bonding and family ties.
      “There’s a chance Marcus and Lucia could get back together because there’s not only longevity but they have also traded emotional bonds.
      “When people get engaged, fear can sometimes set in and it could cause a split.. Questions such as ‘Am I worthy? What kind of wife or husband will I make?’ emerge.  It’s a fear of the unknown, the realisation that ‘things are getting serious now’.

      “A temporary break  can cause people to re-evaluate their relationship before is moves into serious mode again, which is what probably happened the first time Marcus and Lucia broke up. 
      “It might be that they reevaluate a second time and get back together.”
