Argentine footballer maxi López is seeking to increase his presence in Argentina to be closer to his children, a move reportedly supported by his former partner, Wanda Nara, and possibly facilitated by a renewed contract with Telefe. The network hopes to capitalize on López’s growing popularity following his appearance on *MasterChef Celebrity* and is exploring future projects to keep him involved, even as he balances commitments with his current partner in Sweden. Negotiations are underway to solidify a lifestyle change that could offer López increased time with his family and further opportunities within the argentine television market.

Maxi López has expressed his desire to spend more time in Argentina to be closer to his children. Wanda Nara has reportedly promised to persuade her partner, Daniela Christiansson, to support the move. While Christiansson’s approval hasn’t been officially confirmed, López appears to have already reached an agreement with Telefe for a contract extending beyond his appearance on *MasterChef Celebrity*.
“Wanda Nara has renewed her contract with Telefe for another year, and Maxi López has extended his agreement with the network, separate from *MasterChef*,” Naiara Vecchio reported on *La Posta del Espectáculo*. Nara’s original contract was set to expire on December 31, 2026, but renegotiations following changes in network leadership secured her continued role.
“He is scheduled to leave in December to spend Christmas with his partner in Sweden and then return. There’s talk of a new program, and he has received proposals from streaming services. Telefe is pleased with both Wanda and Maxi’s presence and wants to keep him involved,” the journalist explained. Christiansson is believed to be supportive of her partner’s decision and the potential lifestyle change for the family.
The situation is looking positive for Maxi López as both Telefe and the former footballer are satisfied with the positive reception to his participation in *MasterChef Celebrity*. López himself has expressed surprise and comfort with the experience, noting a growth in his social media following as he connects with a wider audience. This increased visibility could potentially help him achieve his goal of reuniting with all five of his children in the coming months.
