13 November 2026

Martín Migueles gave his version of the tense episode in which he starred with Mauro Icardi in Nordelta, which was captured on video that went viral in recent hours. The businessman, Wanda Nara’s partner, spoke to Marina Calabró via WhatsApp messages and explained what may have happened before the confrontation, why he reacted that way, and what his main concern is after the scandal.

His statements were disclosed on Primicias Ya, where the journalist shared the messages she exchanged with him. «Icardi had been insulting me and I reacted», was one of the phrases Migueles conveyed when referring to the circulating images. He also maintained that the video did not show the full context of the confrontation.

What Martín Migueles said about his clash with Mauro Icardi

According to Marina Calabró, Migueles explained to her that he arrived at the episode in a highly agitated state because one of Wanda Nara and Mauro Icardi’s daughters had called him to ask for help. «The girl called me in a desperate state and that’s why I reacted», was the message the journalist read on air.

The businessman did not deny what is seen in the recording, but he insisted that there was a prior situation that was not captured. According to his version, Icardi had been provoking and insulting him before the exchange that became public.

To summarize his conduct during the confrontation, Migueles used a blunt phrase: «I reacted like in the neighborhood».

In the video broadcast on television, he is heard challenging the footballer and telling him that he would break his mouth. He also accuses him of disrespect and compares him to L-Gante and Maxi López. The footage shows the exchange between them in front of police officers.

Martín Migueles’ fear of a possible restraining order

In the messages Calabró shared, the businessman also made clear what his main concern is after the episode. «I’m afraid the judge will impose a restraining order on me», he would have said.

The journalist clarified that this fear related to the possibility of a court measure preventing him from approaching the girls, and not a restriction concerning Icardi.

Additionally, Migueles would have told that Telefe had asked both him and Wanda to curb the public exposure of the conflict. According to Calabró, the presenter had reduced her statements about the matter.

Migueles’ unexpected reference to China Suárez

During the exchange with Marina Calabró, Migueles also referred to his connection with Mauro Icardi’s current partner. According to the journalist, the businessman claimed to have a good relationship with the actress and shared a phrase that drew attention: «The China Suárez thinks I’m cool».

He later explained that, according to what the girls had told him, the actress had said that Migueles was someone you could talk to.

What Wanda Nara had said about the Nordelta episode

In the same program, Wanda Nara also reconstructed what happened and explained why they ended up calling the Police. The host said that Migueles acts as a link to her daughters because, she claimed, Icardi has blocked her phone number.

Wanda assured that she received around 600 messages, but she could not intervene until she had the guidance of the professionals who accompany her daughter. «Everything is judicialized», she stressed. She also stated that she tried to resolve the situation without police intervention and that, after not obtaining the necessary authorization and the efforts not succeeding, they finally called the Police.

The host also said that everything that happened emotionally affected her and that she even recorded herself crying during MasterChef tapings. «I can talk about my relationship with my daughters, but what happens with him and my daughter I don’t know, I listen and nothing more», she stated.

Furthermore, Wanda questioned the broadcasting of videos related to China Suárez and argued that if the actress pursued legal action, she would present the complete material. According to her version, the clips that circulated were edited and omitted part of a conversation she considered important.

Thus, the statements by Migueles and Wanda added new details about the Nordelta episode, while the conflict between the presenter and the footballer continues to have public and judicial repercussions.
