Maxi López: how he learned of Wanda Nara’s illness and the desperate request she made to him

Massimiliano Lopez (39) was present Everything happens, the radio series hosted by Matías Martin on FM 104.3 Urbana Play, in which he talked about the disease of Wanda Nara (37), mother of his eldest sons, Valentino, Costantino and Benedicto.

The former footballer recalled the moment he learned of his ex’s illness, was diagnosed with leukemia, and decided to travel from England, where he currently resides, to Argentina.

“A friend of mine is the doctor… They call me at four in the morning, I was in London. I received calls from him and my ex-mother-in-law. I stand up and say “what happened”. He explained to me. I said ‘well, I’ll get organized and travel’. I got a ticket for four or five days later,” Maxi began to recall.

And then he detailed the communication with Wanda that caused him to bring forward the trip. “The next day he calls me and says ‘please come now, I need you here.’ I had to change my ticket and I traveled from one day to the next,” said Maxi, underlining the support he received at that time from his current partner, the Swedish model Daniela Christiansson, mother of his youngest daughter, Elle.

“I wanted to talk to the guys before this got out. So I got on a plane and traveled as fast as I could. The thing is, when I got off the plane and left Ezeiza, someone had already declared… “It was pretty hot”Maxi continued, revealing her annoyance towards Jorge Lanata, who was the first to reveal Wanda’s illness before she spoke.

“I know you’re in an environment where things are known and everything, but I wanted to get there early to be with my kids. I couldn’t.”said the former River, Barcelona, ​​FC Moscow and AC Milan player, among many other teams.

“The important thing is that he stayed here for 15, 20 days afterwards. I was with the guys, we got to talk and everything. I was able to be present, which is the most important thing for them”, underlined Maxi.

Maxi López: his differences with Wanda Nara and the memory of Valentino’s birth

In another passage of the interview, Maxi highlighted the different personalities he has with Wanda and the media conflicts they had after the separation.

“Always with the quilombos, never calm”he joked.

And he explained: “The person I chose in that moment… we were the balance. “She a lot and I a little, and we meet in the middle”.

Then, the former footballer recalled the birth of his firstborn, Valentino. “Wanda’s seventh month of pregnancy was in Moscow. In the seventh month, a doctor arrives, one of those you see in films, in the times of communism, who says ‘the baby can’t be born here, they have to go to hospital'” . .’ And when we went to the hospital Wanda ran away, she ran away. She said ‘I’m not giving birth here or I’m crazy’.”

“So he got on a plane and I stayed there. In Russia it was -35 degrees. And one night my mother called me and said ‘my blood pressure dropped a little’. And I said ‘I take flight’. ‘ The president didn’t give me permission. I came anyway, then I received a significant fine. I arrived in Ezeiza and my brother took me straight to the hospital. If I arrived an hour later Valentino would be born and I would miss him. I finally arrived and was at birth. Later, when I returned to Russia, they made me pay for it,” he recalled the birth of his eldest son, who currently lives in Argentina and is a member of River’s youth team.
