Who are they? People always ask about the role of a wife when looking at a successful football player. Does a woman make you stronger when you are a successful businessman or a sportsman? Or does she ruin your life and pulls up publicity stunts just to chase clout and live happily ever after in her husband's mansion?
Here we will look at individuals who did both.
Wanda Nara
The perfect wife of an Argentine professional striker for Italian Inter football club is surrounded by both praises and criticism. Wanda Nara is an Argentinean model, an agent, a wife, and an inspiration for the Inter striker Mauro Icardi. The couple is married since May 2014 and has two daughters – Francesca and Isabella. After marriage with Mauro, Wanda took his last name.
Thanks to Wanda, Icardi began to earn a lot of money as a football player. When the 20-year-old Mauro entered Inter in 2013, he earned less than €1 million. Abian Morano (his ex-agent) did a lot to provide top-notch publicity for a no-name player at that time.
At first, Icardi liked his agent's job, but after Wanda appeared, the player changed his mind. In 2015, he fired Morano, and Nara took the role of his agent. One year later, Icardi became the highest-paid Inter player with a fee of €3.6 million net a season. A year later, Mauro's wife earned him €4.5 million as an agent.
The family's business improved a lot. Icardi bought a house in Milan to move in the whole family; soon Wanda gave birth to two more children from Icardi. When Mauro became Series A top scorer in 2018, he bought each teammate a Rolex watch. Some teammates admitted him becoming sadder over the past few years, but we will never know what stands behind a multi-millionaire and his famous agent wife!
Simona Guatieri
Simone Guatieri is an Italian model and TV presenter, a participant of multiple beauty contests, a girlfriend of a player originally from Barcelona, who is currently owned by Monaco, Balde Keita. This sexy model met the Senegalese football player when he moved to Lazio.
Simone is five years older than her boyfriend, but that doesn't make any difference, neither is it shocking news to the sports community. When the striker moved to Monaco, being paid €30 million bill to replace Kylian Mbappe, Simone moved from her motherland to live with her boyfriend.
Simone started her television and modelling career at the age of 15 from acting in commercials to participating in beauty contests. Her appearance and beautiful body attracted publicity, so she received lots of job offers, becoming very famous in her country even before she became famous as a football star girlfriend. More than 120 thousand people follow her Instagram page.
Josipa Perišić
Josipa Perišić is a wife of a famous Croatian winger Ivan Perišić. Ivan met his future wife while still in high school. So the girls didn't stay a single woman for too long. Josipa, according to the football player himself, was his first love. As Ivan says, not only this love did not fade away with years, it only became stronger.
In 2012, Ivan and Josipa made their relationship official. On the ninth of October of the same year, their first baby was born. They named their boy Leonardo. Two years later, in July 2014, Josipa gave birth to a daughter Manuel. Josipa Perišić raises two beautiful children, is a very supportive wife who travels all over the world with the Inter team, and has an Instagram page where she has 36 thousand followers. According to Ivan, he couldn't imagine any other woman by his side other than Josipa.
