Maxi López Criticized After Admitting He Asked to Advance Son’s Birth for Work

The ex-footballer’s on-air account of pressing to move up the delivery to keep television commitments drew swift condemnation from social-media users, including comedian Malena Pichot.

Overview

  • - López said on Telefe that he told the doctor to “make him come out” so he could return to Argentina for MasterChef Celebrity and OLGA duties.
  • - Lando was delivered by cesarean in Switzerland on December 31 at 9:22, after the couple had shifted from a planned mid-December cesarean to attempting a natural birth.
  • - He spent only a few days with the newborn before flying back to resume recordings in Buenos Aires, a decision that intensified the backlash.
  • - Pichot publicly criticized the remarks and decried men influencing cesarean decisions, as users on X and other platforms condemned López’s account.
  • - Daniela Christiansson remained in Switzerland with the baby and their daughter, posted that they miss him, and López said he aims to establish the family’s base in Buenos Aires over time.
