Ian Lucas, the popular Argentine influencer and winner of MasterChef Celebrity, has officially introduced his new partner, Renata Mónaco, to the world. The confirmation took place in the United States while Lucas covers the 2026 World Cup alongside famous TV host Marley. Exclusive first images of the couple were published by the celebrity news program Intrusos (América TV).
During a live broadcast, Marley inadvertently revealed that Ian Lucas was traveling with a partner. Shortly after, journalist Paula Varela released the exclusive photos. "They had been caught on camera before... in a car by the riverside," Varela explained, referencing earlier rumors. "This is Renata Mónaco, she is the girlfriend, it is official now."
The photos were taken in Kansas City, the venue for Argentina's debut match in the tournament. Ian proposed the trip spontaneously: "I'm going to the World Cup, come along," to which Renata agreed, arriving just days before the public confirmation.
Renata Mónaco is a rising model and influencer known for her lifestyle content. Her profile focuses on international travel, fashion, and daily life.
She comes from an affluent background in Argentina and maintains a curated public image, balancing modeling campaigns with digital content creation.
For international readers, Ian Lucas is a major YouTube personality in Argentina, gaining mainstream fame by winning MasterChef Celebrity. Marley is one of Argentina's most iconic television hosts. The program Intrusos is a long-running gossip show equivalent to shows like Entertainment Tonight or TMZ in the US.
Evangelina Anderson, mentioned in previous reports regarding Ian, is a well-known Argentine model and former vedette (showgirl) with a significant media presence. She was previously linked romantically to Lucas in late 2025.
When asked about the news by journalist Santiago Sposato on Primicias Ya, Evangelina Anderson responded with humor and indifference. "What can I tell you? It's the same as telling me Chino Leunis has a new job or Turco García is streaming... They are work colleagues," she said, referencing other famous local TV personalities.
She added, "I wish them the best. It doesn't bother me, but it bothers me that they keep asking me the same thing. It's a done topic." Reports indicate Anderson traveled to Punta del Este (a famous Uruguayan beach resort) on December 30, 2025, around the time Ian was on a boat trip, which may have been the timeline where his connection with Renata began.
