Messi wife: Antonella Roccuzzo

Lionel Messi is widely regarded as one of the best football
players of all time.

When he has the ball in his possession, the Argentinian is
nothing short of a wizard.

We all know he’s a fantastic athlete, and he’s proved it
many times during his sporting career, so what about his personal life, do we
know? Did you know, though, that this sporting legend is married to his
childhood sweetheart?

Who is Lionel Messi’s wife?

Antonella Roccuzzo was born in Rosario, Argentina, on
February 26, 1988, the same year as Lionel Messi. When he was five years old,
he saw Roccuzzo for the first time. Messi and Roccuzzo were childhood
sweethearts; Leo fell in love with the Argentinian beauty and visited
Roccuzzo’s house daily only to see her. When Messi and his family traveled to
Spain to try his soccer career, they were forced to part ways. Roccuzzo
subsequently reconnected with the soccer player, and the two started dating in
2008. For a few years, the pair kept their relationship a secret, but in a 2009
interview, Messi revealed that they are dating.

Antonella Roccuzzo
and Lionel Messi’s Wedding

On June 30, 2017, they wed in a lavish ceremony in the
couple’s hometown, nearly a decade since they first met. Many notable players,
including Cesc Fabregas, Xavi, Sergio Aguero, Carles Puyol, and all of Messi’s
Barcelona teammates, including one of his best friends Luis Suarez and his
beautiful partner, Sofia Balbi, attended the couple’s wedding, which was
celebrated at a luxurious hotel and had around 250 guests.

Roccuzzo And Messi Love Story

When one of her best friends fatally died in an accident in
2007, the soccer player flew home to console his childhood sweetheart. They
rekindled their relationship at that point and have been together ever since.
Although Roccuzzo trained at the National University of Rosario and Messi
returned to Spain to play soccer, the pair spent some time apart. Roccuzzo, on
the other hand, had moved to Barcelona in 2012 to be with her husband and was
expecting their first child.

Antonella Roccuzzo Has Three Sons With
Lionel Messi

Thiago Messi, Mateo Messi, and Ciro Messi are the couple’s
three sons. For the FIFA World Cup winner, being a father was a life-changing
experience. “You grow and understand. On and off the track, you gain
expertise in all facets of life. Despite his hectic schedule, Messi claims he
enjoys spending time with his family at home. “Even if there are little
moments of respite at home with three kids, we want to savor every moment with
them, whether we’re watching TV, playing, or doing something else. We like to
spend these hours at home.”

Antonella Roccuzzo
Personality

The Argentine beauty seems reserved in public, but her inner
circle views her in a different light.

Lionel Messi’s wife has formed close relations with other
prominent football wives over the years, including Cesc Fabregas’ wife Daniella
Semaan and Luis Suarez’s wife Sofia Balbi.

She is, though, a mixture of elegance and intelligence,
since she is a voracious reader.

Messi is clearly blessed, as he has a stunning and
intelligent wife who is also his biggest supporter. Antonella was seen cheering
for her husband on many occasions.

She is always on his side, cheering him on no matter where
he goes.

Antonella was by his side when he won the Ballon d’Or six
times, which is a feat, and no other player has ever done so.
