"Daily Sports" reported that former Barcelona forward Maxi Lopez recently joined the Argentine celebrity version of "MasterChef" as a contestant, and the host of the show is his ex-wife Wanda.

In the interactive session of the show, Wanda asked Lopez if he knew how to cook, and teased him if he had eaten frozen food for a long time. Lopez responded humorously: "I was married once, and all I ate was frozen food." This joke hinted at his married life with Wanda, which caused laughter in the audience.

Lopez joined Barcelona from River Plate in early 2005 for 6 million euros. Although he only played 19 times and scored 2 goals in two seasons, he was also a member of the lineup that won Barcelona's Champions League championship in 2006. His career also spanned many clubs including Milan, Turin and Sampdoria.

Despite having a well-publicized past with Wanda and having three children together, the two appear to be in a stable relationship. Lopez is now living in Europe with his new partner Daniela Kristiansson and is expecting their second child. His return to China this time to participate in the show hosted by his ex-wife has also added many topics and highlights to this cooking reality show.
