Intimate video leak allegedly orchestrated by Wanda Nara against Mauro Icardi and his fiancee, China Suarez
In the world of football, the ongoing legal battle between Argentinean footballer Mauro Icardi and his wife, Wanda Nara, has become as much a talking point as their on-field exploits. The couple, embroiled in a contentious custody dispute over their two daughters, Francesca and Isabella, are currently engaged in a multi-jurisdictional legal conflict that shows no signs of abating.
The dispute, which has spilled over into the realm of revenge porn allegations, infidelity accusations, and media conflicts, began with a disagreement over the children's residence. Icardi, who recently moved to Türkiye for his football career, wants the children to live with him, while Nara insists they remain in Buenos Aires, under the care of Nara’s sister and their grandfather[1].
The legal residence of the children has been a point of contention, with the Italian court ruling that their legal residence is Türkiye, complicating custody and support claims[1]. This ruling, however, does not affect the court's jurisdiction over the divorce itself, as it only recused itself from ruling on financial matters[1].
The most recent development in this saga is the accusation by Icardi that Nara leaked an intimate, private video of the couple without his consent, which he has described as revenge porn[2][3][4]. This accusation has led Icardi to file a criminal complaint and engage a team of Italian lawyers to take legal action against Nara. Nara has denied these allegations, but the video leak has added fuel to the ongoing public and legal feud between the couple[1][2][3].
The dispute has drawn in third parties, with Nara's friend Jazmin La Cuerpo posting alleged private messages from Icardi, where he asked for access to her videos and insisted on secrecy[1]. Nara's former agent, Graciela Alfano, claimed that Icardi's brother-in-law, Suárez, told her directly that Nara leaked the footage to Uruguayan model Natasha Rey, prompting a defamation lawsuit from Nara[1].
In a twist of events, Suárez, who initially accused someone of unauthorized distribution of the video, later confirmed the authenticity of the explicit video sent by Icardi to Nara in 2021[1]. This video, which surfaced online, has added to the escalating scandal, further straining the already fragile relationship between Icardi and Nara.
The children, Francesca and Isabella, remain caught in the middle of this cross-continental custody dispute and the media frenzy that surrounds it. Nara has shared a video message from her daughter Francesca during a European music tour, while Icardi has not made any public comments regarding the children's wellbeing[1].
As of late July 2025, the situation remains highly contentious, with no final resolution in sight, as court cases and legal complaints continue across jurisdictions[1][2][3][4]. The football world watches on, hoping for a resolution that prioritises the best interests of the children involved.
