Chelsea’s Enzo Fernández became entangled in a “love triangle” when Wanda Nara, Mauro Icardi’s former wife, sent him flirtatious texts during the time his longtime girlfriend was on Celebrity MasterChef.
Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernández is reportedly involved in a love triangle that includes his longtime partner Valentina Cervantes and Wanda Nara, the ex-wife of his Argentine teammate Mauro Icardi.
Rumors are spreading wildly across South America as Cervantes appears on the Argentine version of Celebrity MasterChef, hosted by Wanda Nara herself. The backstage atmosphere reportedly grew “tense” after news surfaced that the 38-year-old model and TV host sent flirtatious messages to Enzo Fernández.
According to La Nación, journalist Santiago Sposato revealed the content of the message Wanda Nara allegedly sent: “I just saw you around the neighborhood, text me if you’re interested.” This message caused strain in Enzo’s relationship with his girlfriend, putting Cervantes in an awkward position while she was on a popular TV show.
Sources say Fernández immediately told his girlfriend about the messages, while Nara claimed she was only “being polite” and did not intend to cause any misunderstanding. However, Cervantes completely denied knowing about the texts. When asked, she said:
“Yes, I heard about it. But as far as I know, there were no messages. Enzo never told me anything about it, absolutely nothing. I only found out because my family sent me clips; I don’t watch TV at home. I also don’t plan to ask Enzo about it. I don’t want to make a big deal out of it.”
Previously, Wanda Nara was married to Maxi López before marrying Icardi, his former teammate. They were together for 10 years before divorcing in 2024. Later, Nara dated musician L-Gante and was rumored to have a relationship with defender Achraf Hakimi (PSG). She is now back in Argentina hosting Celebrity MasterChef.
Meanwhile, Enzo Fernández remains committed to Valentina Cervantes, his childhood sweetheart. They have two children: a 5-year-old daughter and a son who will turn 2 on October 26. The couple separated last year when Cervantes posted a message saying: “Today, Enzo and I have chosen to be apart temporarily, but we are still family and will raise our children together. Enzo is a wonderful father, and I always respect him.”
After some time apart, they reunited earlier this year and have maintained a stable relationship—something believed to have helped Enzo perform better. He played a key role in Chelsea’s Conference League victory last season and their win over PSG in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final, finishing in the Premier League’s top 5. Premier League.
In the 2024/25 season, Enzo scored 9 goals for Chelsea and has already netted 4 this season. At 24 years old, the 2022 World Cup champion is a cornerstone in coach Enzo Maresca’s plans, even serving as captain when Reece James was absent.
In a recent 5-1 Champions League win against Ajax, Enzo scored a penalty and is likely to start again when Chelsea hosts Sunderland this weekend, with the Blues currently fifth in the Premier League, 5 points behind leaders Arsenal.
