From 2022, the link between Wanda Nara and Elian Valenzuelabetter known as L-Ghent, caught everyone’s attention. It’s just that what started with a collaboration in a video clipquickly became a story with media influences, which also involved Mauro Icardicurrent partner of the host of Bake Off Famous (Telefe) and Galatasaray striker. Between incendiary statements, kisses in clubs and tense reactions on social networks, the romance between the businesswoman and the cumbia 420 singer became the epicenter of scandals, speculations and confirmations. And the million dollar question: How did they go from a simple recording to becoming the protagonists of the most talked about love triangle in Argentina?
It all started in October 2022, when The singers made their first appearance together during the recording of the video clip for “The Last Romantic”. This musical work not only showed Wanda as the protagonist of the video, but also fueled rumors of a possible affair. In the images, both appeared together at a long table, surrounded by friends, which simulated a neighborhood party. Furthermore, on his social networks, Elián posted a photo of both of them from behind, and accompanied the publication with the famous scene of Lady and the Trampin which the protagonists share a spaghetti that ends in a kiss.
The post did not go unnoticed, and rumors began to multiply. In an interview for Mirtha’s night (The Thirteen), L-Gante said: “I’m getting to know her. “We are getting to know each other”. That phrase confirmed that there was more than a simple work collaboration between them. Although Wanda did not comment on the subject, her gestures on social networks indicated that she enjoyed the media attention.
Days after the release of the video clip, the relationship seemed to be confirmed. On October 17, 2022, a photo of both to the kisses in a Quilmes bowling alley went viral. It was the first public sign that the romance was a reality. L-Gante was quick to declare that he was not looking to do “marketing” with Wandabut that the relationship actually went beyond the professional. “I never did marketing for anything. With Wanda we are fine“, he stated in an interview with LAM (America).
While the rumors grew, Mauro Icardi did not remain silent. In an Instagram live, the footballer openly criticized the relationship and assured that the singer’s company affected his wife’s image. “He is the laughingstock of the entire world, with his behavior, with his attitudes. The truth is, I’m not prepared to continue supporting this and defending the indefensible,” he said, visibly upset.
In parallel, messages were leaked between the soccer player and the businesswoman where he asked her for explanations about her relationship with the cumbia singer 420. “I don’t understand why you are doing this, you are the mother of my children“, he reproached him.
Eight months later, in June 2023, L-Ghent faced legal problems and was detained. During this period, Wanda publicly supported him through their social networks. “I am one of those people who is always in a private waybecause he who does it from the heart does not expose it. Especially in delicate situations. “He who has to know, already knows,” she wrote on her Twitter account, implying that the bond between the two continued, at least on a friendly level.
However, this incident also brought new tensions between Wanda and Mauro. Sources close to the footballer assured that the forward was “furious” about his wife’s involvement with the singer’s problems, which further affected their relationship. “I don’t understand why you keep getting involved in these problems.”, Icardi would have commented, in private, according to some media.
By September 2023, romance rumors were no longer just speculation. In an interview, The singer confessed that the relationship with Maxi López’s ex-partner had been “the closest thing to a serious relationship” that he had in a long time. “I felt comfortable with her and we understood each other well.”he declared. This confirmation came after months of media speculation, but did not shed much light on the type of link. Were they just friends or was there something more?
Although Wanda remained reserved, during an interview on the program hosted by Angel de Britothey asked him if he was still in contact with the singer and he responded with a smile. “There will always be love and respect between us“he said in LAM.
In October 2023, the athlete again expressed his discontent after L-Ghent’s statements. The thing is, during a live note, Valenzuela referred directly to him. “Mauro got angry, but it wasn’t something I was looking for, it just happened.”, he said adding fuel to the fire. In parallel, Icardi posted a photo with Wanda and a message that said: “Always together, despite everything”. This publication was interpreted by many as a response to the singer’s comments, reaffirming that, despite the conflicts, his relationship with Wanda was still standing.
At the beginning of 2024, Elián revealed that he and the media still maintained contact and that they had even made several secret outings.. “When there is hunger, no matter where it is, we go out the same“, the singer joked in an interview and once again sowed doubts.
In the middle of the year, more precisely on July 9, Wanda confirmed her separation from the footballer to Luis Ventura with a simple message: “I am separated”. Then, he uploaded a forceful message on his networks: “With how difficult the endings are and how much they cost me. I have to turn on the TV or see versions on the networks that are not real. I decided to separate, but we will not stop being family with Mauro“he wrote in a statement. “Trying a thousand times more when there is love was not a mistake either.. I don’t regret anything, I gave that couple the best years of my life, but today I have to continue alone. There are no culprits or third parties, ours was always stronger than what was outside,” he concluded.
At the beginning of October, however, Wanda stopped by Susana Giménez’s living room and was evasive on the subject. He never acknowledged the separation. “I guess he loves me and I think we will always be family”, he assured.
A few weeks ago, L-Gante was a guest at Bake Off Famous (Telefe), cycle that Nara drives, and together they revealed the reasons why they stopped talking. The tension in the floor was felt. Hours later, it was leaked on social networks a photo of the two of them kissing in Luján. Apparently the image was old and had been circulated by the singer’s entourage. For Wanda it was a betrayal.
Last Sunday, the young man from General Rodríguez was on Susana Giménez’s program and when they asked him about the link with the businesswoman he said: “Icardi happens to be in the house, what is he going to say to you? See if he comes, says something, he has to go back to the house and the husband is there. It’s weird”. His comment set off Nara, who used his social networks to take issue. “A lie that makes you happy is worth more than a truth that makes your life bitter. When the spiteful person speaks, the truth is silent. I hope that once again it helps you to use me so that people don’t talk about your legal issue.. I hope they talk about your songs,” he wrote.
Thus, from October 2022 to the present, the relationship between Wanda Nara and L-Gante went through several stages. While Mauro Icardi has been a central figure in this triangle, expressing on several occasions his discomfort with the relationship between his (ex)wife and the singer, everything seems to indicate that, by October 2024, the bond between the singers came to an end. end.
