Argentine footballer Mauro Icardi and media personality Wanda Nara have officially ended their marriage following a ruling by a court in Milan, Italy. The decision also went in Icardi’s favour on key financial issues, with judges rejecting Nara’s request for a divorce payment and concluding that she had not demonstrated a need for financial compensation from her former husband.
The ruling, reported on October 9, 2026, marks a significant development in the couple’s highly publicised separation, which has attracted considerable attention across football and entertainment circles.
However, the divorce does not resolve every disagreement between the former couple. A separate dispute involving property transfers and real estate assets remains outstanding, leaving the possibility of further legal proceedings.
According to Italian media reports, the court rejected Nara’s request for €100,000 per month in divorce compensation. She had previously sought temporary maintenance of €250,000 per month during the separation proceedings, but that request was also rejected.
The distinction between the two claims is important: the €250,000 demand related to maintenance during the earlier separation phase, while the latest ruling addressed the separate request for post-divorce financial compensation.
Milan Court Ends Icardi and Nara’s Marriage
The Milan civil court formally dissolved the marriage between Icardi and Nara, bringing their relationship to its legal conclusion.
Icardi shared news of the outcome on social media, expressing satisfaction with the decision. The Argentine striker had initiated divorce proceedings in November 2024, after the couple’s relationship deteriorated and their separation became a regular subject of public discussion.
Their dispute unfolded partly in the public eye, with both parties attracting media attention through social media posts and statements.
The court’s decision settles the question of their marital status, but financial disagreements involving property and other assets have not all been resolved.
For Icardi, the ruling represents a major step towards closing a difficult chapter in his personal life. For Nara, the rejection of her compensation claim means she will not receive the monthly divorce payment she sought under that request.
Why the Court Rejected Wanda Nara’s Financial Claim
One of the central issues in the proceedings was whether Nara was entitled to financial compensation after the end of her marriage to Icardi.
Italian media reported that the court found she had sufficient financial resources to maintain an appropriate standard of living without receiving the requested divorce payment.
The judges also considered Nara’s argument that she had sacrificed professional opportunities during the marriage to meet family responsibilities.
According to reports from Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera and news agency ANSA, the court concluded that she had not provided sufficient evidence to establish that she had given up career opportunities in a way that justified compensation.
The court also considered her professional activities during the marriage, including television appearances, entertainment projects and her work connected to Icardi’s football career.
These factors contributed to the decision to reject her claim for €100,000 in monthly divorce compensation. The court also reportedly ordered Nara to cover two-thirds of the legal costs associated with the proceedings.
Nara’s Earlier Request for €250,000 Monthly Maintenance
The latest decision follows an earlier legal setback for Nara concerning temporary financial support.
During the separation proceedings, she sought €250,000 per month in maintenance. The request was rejected by a Milan judge in June 2026, and a subsequent appeal was dismissed in July.
Reports also indicated that Nara had made additional financial claims involving support for the couple’s two daughters and compensation connected to the divorce.
Those demands were separate from the latest request for €100,000 per month in post-divorce compensation.
The court’s decisions have therefore dealt with different aspects of the financial dispute rather than a single claim for payment.
The outcome highlights the distinction between seeking financial support during a separation and requesting compensation when a marriage is legally dissolved. Under the reasoning reported by Italian media, a difference in wealth between former spouses is not, by itself, sufficient to establish an entitlement to compensatory payments.
Property Dispute Remains Unresolved
Despite the divorce ruling, Icardi and Nara still have outstanding disagreements concerning their financial arrangements.
According to Icardi’s account of the latest decision, a separate legal case in Milan concerns the validity of certain real estate transfers and the possible return of property to him.
The details of that dispute remain separate from the court’s decision to dissolve the marriage and reject Nara’s compensation claim.
Until the property issues are settled, the former couple could continue to face legal proceedings relating to their shared financial interests.
The unresolved matter also means that the divorce ruling should not be interpreted as a final settlement of every dispute between them.
A Relationship That Became a Major Media Story
Icardi and Nara’s relationship attracted extensive public attention because of their connections to professional football and the entertainment industry.
Icardi built his reputation as a striker through spells at clubs including Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain before joining Galatasaray in Turkey. Nara is a television personality, businesswoman and football representative who was also involved in managing aspects of Icardi’s professional career.
Their relationship and subsequent separation became frequent subjects of coverage in Argentina and Italy.
The breakdown of the marriage was followed by disputes over money, property and family arrangements, with developments often discussed publicly.
Their case has also attracted attention because both individuals have established careers and sources of income of their own.
The Milan court’s latest decision focused on the legal and financial claims presented to it, rather than the public controversy surrounding their relationship.
What Happens Next for Mauro Icardi and Wanda Nara?
With the marriage officially dissolved, Icardi and Nara can move forward as divorced individuals. However, the remaining property dispute could determine how some of their financial affairs are ultimately settled.
The rejection of Nara’s divorce compensation claim is a significant outcome for Icardi, but it does not mean every financial matter between the former couple has been concluded.
For Nara, the ruling leaves her without the monthly divorce payment she requested. The court’s decision was based on its assessment of her financial independence and the evidence presented regarding her professional circumstances during the marriage.
The former couple’s situation may continue to attract attention from football supporters and entertainment audiences, particularly if further developments emerge in the outstanding property case.
For now, the key development is clear: the Milan court has formally ended Icardi and Nara’s marriage and rejected her request for €100,000 per month in divorce compensation, while a separate property dispute remains unresolved.
