China Suárez, whose real name is María Eugenia Suárez Rivero, is the fiancée of football star Mauro Icardi. She is known not only for her acting roles but also for the whirlwind of scandals that have surrounded her private life.
This striking beauty has been in the spotlight since childhood, building a successful career as both an actress and a singer. Hugely popular on social media, her Instagram account boasts a staggering 7.8 million followers.
Yet, it’s her headline-grabbing romances that have truly made her a household name: Suárez has repeatedly been at the center of high-profile love triangles, including the infamous episode with Mauro Icardi, who in 2021 cheated on his wife Wanda Nara with her.
The Galatasaray forward’s affair with Suárez, which initially ended after it went public, was reignited at the start of 2025. By then, Icardi had split from Wanda and officially announced his relationship with China. The couple recently shared news of their engagement.
It’s worth noting that China Suárez is a devoted mother of three from previous relationships — daughter Rufina with Argentine actor Nicolás Cabré, and daughter Magnolia and son Amancio with another Argentine actor, Benjamín Vicuña.
