Following her divorce, Nara began dating Mauro Icardi, a friend of López and a fellow footballer. Nara and Icardi married in 2014, attracting attention due to Icardi’s friendship with López. According to The Guardian, Nara and Icardi’s relationship is often termed as the “Wanda Derby” by international media. They have two daughters together, Francesca and Isabella.
In 2021, Nara posted a cryptic message on her Instagram Story which read, “another family that you have ruined,” sparking rumors of a split. Although they briefly reconciled, their relationship has been marked by separations and reconciliations. Ciudad Magazine reported that Nara unfollowed Icardi on social media and she filed for divorce in 2023.
