Wanda Nara’s appearance at Halloween party, Mauro Icardi’s reaction

On the evening of Oct. 31, Wanda Nara attended a Halloween event in Buenos Aires, where she was seen in close contact with Argentine rapper L-Gante, whose real name is Elian Valenzuela.

Footage from the party circulated on social media, showing Nara and L-Gante engaging in friendly and affectionate interactions. The videos quickly drew attention and fueled speculation about the nature of their relationship.

Icardi’s response was swift and public. He unfollowed Wanda Nara on Instagram, a move that fans interpreted as a clear sign of disapproval and frustration.

Wanda Nara further fueled the rumors by posting a photo with L-Gante and his child. In the image, Nara is seen wearing a Balenciaga football jersey, which drew even more attention from the media and her followers, adding another layer to the speculation surrounding their relationship.

Background of Wanda Nara and L-Gante’s rumored relationship

Rumors about a potential romance between Wanda Nara and L-Gante first began circulating after Nara and Icardi’s earlier split. After leaving Argentina to join her children in Türkiye, Nara was seen in situations that suggested a closer relationship with the rapper.

They were photographed together in social settings and shared moments that hinted at more than just friendship. Although Nara denied these rumors, claiming, “He is a great friend and we have a very good relationship,” the public remained skeptical.

L-Gante had previously confirmed that there was indeed a special connection between them. Speaking about his interactions with Nara, he stated, “Wanda is not in the country, but she did care and was (there for me).”

He added that while they were not officially a couple, their bond was meaningful. This background made their latest public appearance at the Halloween party more significant and reignited old suspicions about the nature of their relationship.

Mauro Icardi, Wanda Nara’s turbulent relationship, initial split

The relationship between Mauro Icardi and Wanda Nara has always been complex. Their romance began under intense public scrutiny when Nara, who had recently divorced footballer Maxi Lopez, started dating Icardi.

Their quick engagement and marriage only added to the drama. Nara’s influence on Icardi’s career was well-documented; she played a crucial role in his transfer to Galatasaray, convincing him to move to Istanbul to continue his career.

However, their marriage faced many challenges. Reports of jealousy, arguments, and rumors surrounded their life together. Despite their initial strong bond, cracks began to appear.

In July 2024, they confirmed their divorce after months of speculation. Nara spoke about the reasons for their separation, revealing, “I tried once again due to personal and health issues, but it didn’t work out.” This statement indicated that their problems were deeper than they appeared to the public.

The couple reconciled later in the year, sharing photos and posts that suggested they had moved past their differences. However, this period of peace was short-lived, as Nara’s appearance with L-Gante brought old issues back to the surface.

The gesture was seen as a bold statement that their relationship was once again strained. Fans of Galatasaray took to social media to share their opinions, some supporting Icardi’s decision and others expressing hope for a reconciliation.
