A Milan court has formally ruled to end the marriage between Argentine footballer Mauro Icardi and his estranged wife, television personality Wanda Nara, rejecting her request for monthly spousal support of 250,000 euros, Icardi announced on social media.
The ruling marks the latest and most significant step in a divorce case Icardi initiated in November 2024.
According to Icardi’s statement, the court found that Nara has sufficient income and assets of her own to support herself, and therefore denied the alimony request.
The court also rejected a separate claim from Nara for compensation on the grounds that she had sacrificed career opportunities because of the marriage, ruling that this assertion had not been substantiated.
Icardi said the court ordered that two-thirds of the legal costs of the proceedings be reimbursed to him.
Icardi described the ruling as the start of a new chapter and said he was celebrating the outcome, though he did not provide further detail on his future plans.
While the alimony and compensation matters have been resolved, the broader legal dispute between the former couple is not entirely closed.
A separate case remains active in Milan concerning the annulment of transfers of real estate assets and their return to Icardi, according to his statement.
The divorce proceedings have played out publicly over nearly two years, with both parties posting updates and statements on social media as the case advanced.
Earlier rulings in the case had already gone in Icardi’s favor: in June, a Milan court judge rejected an interim request from Nara for 250,000 euros a month in temporary alimony, citing her professional standing and capacity to earn independently.
In July, the court rejected an appeal of that decision, which Icardi said at the time also covered additional claims, including monthly payments for the couple’s two daughters and separate divorce compensation.
Icardi, 33, spent four seasons with Galatasaray in the Turkish Süper Lig before recently departing the club. His relationship with Nara, and its public breakdown, has been closely followed in both Argentine and Italian media throughout the proceedings.
