Galatasaray star Mauro Icardi has gone public on social media with his new girlfriend.
Icardi, 31, is currently in the middle of divorce proceedings with his estranged wife Wanda Nara.
The couple married in May 2014 and their relationship rarely made headlines as they went through multiple divorces.
However, in July, Nara, a model and TV host who also acted as Icardi's agent, revealed that the couple had finally ended their tumultuous 10-year romance.
Since then, there have been several rumors about their respective dating lives, but Icardi ended the speculation on Thursday when he took to social media to announce his new relationship with Maria Eugenia Suarez, 32, an Argentinian model and actress.
Icardi shared a post with several photos of the couple, adding, “They say the best stories begin when you least expect them. It's fate.
'The fate that always finds a way to bring two people together, no matter how much time passes or how many paths there are.
“There are encounters that seem written in the stars that we watched every night as children and dreamed about so many things.
'Today I don't need any more signals. I know that with you I am where I need to be.”
Icardi's new love interest – who was linked to a relationship with his divorce lawyer in November – would likely never get a blessing from his former partner.
To make matters worse, Suarez is a former flame of Icardi, with the pair reportedly having an affair in 2021, although the model insisted she was unaware the footballer and Nara were still together.
“I did not initiate, encourage or cause this situation,” she wrote in a series of stories on Instagram at the time.
'I always believed they were divorced. The cost of the image of a happy family is mine alone, not the man who was irrational or made a mistake.”
That affair was one of many marital crises Nara and Icardi faced in their on-again, off-again relationship over the years.
Nara, who has two children with Icardi, is reportedly demanding 38 million euros from her ex in the divorce proceedings.
Meanwhile, news of Icardi's relationship comes after sexually explicit text messages from the Galatasaray striker to Nara were revealed this week.
It is revealed that Icardi sent messages to Nara begging her to take him back so they could “make love” that would “last forever.”
In texts used by Nara's lawyer as part of the couple's divorce proceedings, Icardi wrote, as quoted by Bild: 'Do you think I want to fuck another girl? Do you think I want to do something with another girl… I can't! I want to do it with you, […]like i've been doing it for 10 years and i love it and love it so much!!! Why do you keep saying nasty things about me?'
'I want to feel that peace that I feel when you sit on me and we make love, I want to have that love that has filled me with so much pride for ten years. Whatever you want…it's the love of my life!!!! And I want it to last forever. We will find a solution for everything… but let me do it.'
He concluded, “I know you want to fuck me […]. Will you give us a chance? Do you want to leave me?'
Icardi's X-rated messages seemed to fall on deaf ears, with Nara seemingly adamant that their relationship was over.
Nara got police to evict Icardi from her home near Buenos Aires three days before he was scheduled to undergo knee surgery last month, another ugly turn amid their messy divorce.
Officers woke the Galatasaray attacker in the early hours of the morning after Nara reported him for threatening her during an argument over his alleged refusal to leave the premises.
Local reports said Nara claimed Icardi might have weapons in the house on a gated residential estate in Nordelta, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) from Buenos Aires, and that this prompted a police search of the house, which turned up nothing.
He was subsequently served with a restraining order requiring him to stay away from his ex and her home.
At the time of the police intervention, Nara was in a relationship with Argentine singer Elian Valenzuela, better known by his artistic name L-Gante, after first seeing him kiss in a music video in 2022, which enraged Icardi.
However, she announced on Sunday that they have now gone their separate ways, as she revealed that finalizing her divorce from Icardi influenced her decision.
Alongside a photo of her and L-Gante holding hands, Nara wrote on Instagram: “Today we part ways, to take care of ourselves and focus on our work and family.
'My complex and painful legal situation prompted me to make this decision. Today my children need me and I devote my time completely to them.'
