Personal life Nara married Maxi López on 28 May 2008; the marriage lasted until 6 November 2013. Nara and López divorced after López accused her of cheating on him, but she accused López of repeated marital infidelity. López and Nara have three sons: Valentino Gastón López Nara (born 25 January 2009 in Buenos Aires), Constantino López Nara (born December 18, 2010, in Catania), and Benedicto López Nara (born 20 February 2012 in Milan). Not long after her divorce, Nara, with her sons, left Italy to return to Buenos Aires and began a relationship with Mauro Icardi.

Icardi knew Nara during his friendship with López when they played during the 2012–13 Serie A in the same team (Sampdoria). The following season, during the April 2014 Serie A match between Lopez's Sampdoria and Icardi's Inter, López notably refused to shake Icardi's hand, leading the international press to dub the game Wanda Derby. Nara and Icardi subsequently married on 27 May 2014 and a big wedding party on 7 June 2014 which attracted the attention of the international press. In April 2016, López, repeated the story of Wanda Derby by again refusing to shake his hand during a Serie A match. Nara and Icardi have two daughters: Francesca Icardi Nara, who was born 19 January 2015 in Milan, and Isabella Icardi Nara, who was born 27 October 2016 in Milan.

On 16 October 2021, Nara wrote a message on Instagram seemingly directed at her husband Icardi. The message said that María Eugenia Suárez had "ruined another family for being a slut", referring to La China Suárez, now well-known scandal in a motorhome with Benjamín Vicuña, while they were filming the movie El Hilo Rojo (The Red Thread; 2016). The following day, Wanda left Paris for Milan, the family's former home until 2019, with her five children. Later, the two spouses reconciled, Nara announced the end of their marriage almost a year later on 22 September 2022 in Instagram Stories. Two months later, Nara and Icardi were back together, before once again splitting a month later. Their on-again, off-again relationship continued with another reconciliation in 2023. Nara announced her definitive separation in July 2024 as Icardi wanted to move in with "La China Suarez" during his knee injury recovery time. But regardless of the media reports, Wanda is not yet legally divorced from Mauro Icardi. As of May 2026, they are in the middle of a turbulent divorce in Milan, Italy.
