Maxi López thanks Icardi for stealing Wanda from him

Maxi López and Mauro Icardi's friendship ended as soon as the latter stole Wanda Nara from him after offering him refuge in his home. The couple were living together with their three kids when the fresh-faced and roguish Icardi entered their lives with López taking him under his wing. That was when their lives turned upside down.

Icardi and Wanda started dating and eventually got married with López left on the outside looking in. They have taken digs at each other in the past through the press but it has left López and Wanda Nara in an uncomfortable position with their three kids to think about.

The latest dramatic episode has seen López not only forgive Icardi but thanking him for taking Wanda away from him. "On top of forgiving him, I appreciate that he took W..." He didn't finish the sentence but it is obvious what he meant.

Wanda caused a furore during the summer when Icardi was caught between a rock and a hard place at Inter Milan. The fans had turned on him after multiple incidents with Wanda involved in a back and forth with then-manager, Spalletti. Once he left, she said PSG was "her worst option", which didn't go down well in Paris either.
