According to the court-ordered custody agreement, Icardi was scheduled to pick up his two daughters for a visit. He arrived at 11 a.m. at the apartment where Wanda lives with the children — a property he owns — but she refused to hand over the girls, citing personal and psychological reasons.
At first, Icardi and his team tried to reason with her calmly, reminding her of the legal obligation. However, tensions quickly escalated. Security guards at the luxury apartment complex got involved, and eventually neighbors called the police as the situation became public.
Icardi also contacted Child Protective Services and informed the police that he planned to file a complaint against his ex-wife.
After a 10-hour standoff, the daughters were finally handed over to their father. Icardi announced further legal action, with his lawyers stating:
“It’s not acceptable for every visit to depend on Wanda’s mood.”
Wanda, meanwhile, faced online backlash but claimed Icardi was using their children to manipulate her emotionally. Both avoided direct shots on social media, but Icardi did post a story showing a raised hand — mimicking Johnny Depp’s gesture after his court win — while Wanda replied with a TV appearance, saying “many lies were told” and shared photos flaunting the engagement ring Icardi once gave her.
