Maxi López Briefly Exits MasterChef for Urgent Trip to Switzerland After Wife’s Toxic Paint Scare

Daniela Christiansson said there is no conflict, framing López’s travel as a planned sacrifice.

Overview

  • López flew to Geneva after Christiansson, seven months pregnant, reported a spray-paint explosion at home that she described as “super toxic,” later confirming mother and children were fine.
  • Entertainment shows reported Telefe set conditions for his return to recordings next week, with estimates of a four-to-seven–day absence before he resumes the competition.
  • Producers have not announced a stand-in, though journalists Paula Varela and Yanina Latorre reported that Marley or Zaira Nara are being considered as temporary replacements.
  • Christiansson posted a clarification saying she is not angry, that the couple agreed on the separation for strategic reasons, and that there is “no drama” with Wanda Nara.
  • The show’s early episodes featured pointed on‑air banter, including Wanda Nara’s double‑entendre about López’s dish and a “Tatiana” quip with Sofía “La Reini” Gonet referencing China Suárez.
