Just a few days after becoming a father again, Maxi Lopez lived a certain day in MasterChef Celebrity (telephone). The former footballer recalled his youth by wearing a blonde wig, reliving his look from the 2000s when he enjoyed one of his most successful periods during his time at River Plate and later Barcelona. In this context, it was the one that surprised him Wanda Narawhich revealed the beauty treatments they had done together as a couple.
It all started with the host introducing the football theme of the day, mentioning the 2026 World Cup. “I remember Maxi y el Turco, River 2004. A single image comes to mind, that hair flying in the wind, that youth, those abs you had. Let’s relive this momentWanda said, sparking a funny moment in which production gave Maxi and Turco Husaín two wigs with long extensions.
After the instructions were announced and the preparation time was set, each participant went to their place. When Germán Martitegui spoke to him, López commented on the nickname his teammates gave him when they saw him with long hair: “In Brazil they called me Barby with long hair, but I scored a lot of goals.”
Later, Wanda visited Maxi’s kitchen and sparked a funny exchange. “I see her arriving in a jacket and tie. She’s dressed as a representative. Are you dressed as an agent today? Can you arrange something for me? I should win, can the agent get that for me?” the former player asked.
Nara answered intelligently with a question: “Can your representative make you World Libertadores Champion?” When López heard his answer, he backed away and asked, “No. But money, can we win something?” In a firm tone, the host emphasized that money could be made, to which the participant replied, “Are you going to make me make money?”
Seeing her ex-partner’s attitude, Wanda replied, “I always made you make money.” However, López did not agree, commenting behind the scenes: “It helped the other government win, but not this one (Mauro Icardi).”
After a busy day in the kitchen, each participant prepared to present their dish to the judges. As Maxi was about to present his concoction to the experts, Nara joked: “The time for the tasting has come, Maxi from 2004. On a humid day it could be Wanda, her hair half dry.”
Laughing, Maxi left the plate on the table and began to explain to the jury: “I had to make choripán, it’s called popular choripán, I double-fried the chips, it has a caramelized onion and a sauce of onions, olives, barbecue and mayonnaise. I made the chorizo with pork, I added peppers and onions.”
Far from giving reason to introduce her ex-partner, the presenter remarked again: “He is very serious, haven’t you seen yourself through the oven mirror? Your hair. You look like you did when we got married. The Turk laughs and is the same.” Returning to the analysis of the dish, Donato de Santis stated: “The meat of the sandwich was burnt, a little mushy, but the sauce is very good.”
When it was his turn, Damián Betular said: “The chorizo is very fatty, for a sandwich it needs to be more buttery, you haven’t cut it all the way through. It has to be like a butterfly.” Finally, Martitegui concluded: “I liked the chorizo. The bread is very correctly chosen for a choripán. What seems unnecessary to me is to put the same sauce on the potatoes and on the chorizo .”
At that moment, Wanda couldn’t hold back her laughter anymore and burst out: “I can’t take it anymore…Maxi, you’re the same. Golden years, beautiful memories.” Echoing the words of his ex-partner, López added: “Long hair, great moments on the field with the Turk.”
However, Maxi didn’t expect Wanda to tell an intimate story from that time: “I remember how we took cream baths together because he had silky blonde hair. The Turk had it rather strawy. Blushing completely, the former football player covered his face and said: ‘You’re right.’
