Messi and his wife’s love story has made many people admire. Currently, they are enjoying a peaceful life with their 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren, without being involved in any scandals or noisy rumors.

Love story since the age of 5

Behind the image of Messi and his teammates celebrating the victory with the World Cup championship, people see the companionship of the Argentine player’s wife and 3 sons.

On her personal page, Messi’s wife shared some moments of the whole family together on his happy day. “World champion. I don’t even know how to start. The whole family feels so proud of you. Thank you for teaching us to never lower our arms, that we must fight until the end. At least you are a world champion now. My mother and I know what you have endured for many years…”, Antonela wrote.

Not only at this World Cup, but the model often goes with her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren to watch matches where Messi plays to cheer him on. She is also a woman who accompanies, accepts to step back and take care of the family so that her husband can focus on his football career.

The love story of this couple is likened to a “fairy tale in real life” that has lasted for a decade, and despite the separation, they have always devoted their hearts to each other.

Lionel Messi and Antonela Roccuzzo have known each other since Antonela was 5 years old, through Antonela’s cousin and also Messi’s best friend.

People still say Messi has a shy personality, but when it comes to love, this player is completely different.

Messi’s best friend’s father recalls that when he was a boy, Messi “couldn’t take his eyes off Antonela” for even a second. Messi even wrote and sent letters expressing his feelings, in which he affirmed that Antonela would be his girlfriend in the future.

When Messi moved to play for Barcelona (Spain), he and Antonela had to live apart for many years. They kept in touch with handwritten letters filled with affection despite the distance of thousands of kilometers. During his playing years in Spain, Antonela’s image was always kept in Messi’s heart.

Distance cannot erase feelings, perhaps fate brought them together, giving rise to love. In 2008, the couple officially announced their relationship.

Their feelings became even deeper when Messi decided to take a plane from Spain to Argentina to comfort Antonela after the shock of her best friend’s death. At that time, the young girl was extremely depressed and shocked. Messi was there, encouraging and helping Antonela to recover her spirit.

Messi’s sincere care and affection further bonded the couple after a period of separation. After a while, Antonela moved to Barcelona to live with Messi.

Antonela studied at university in Argentina. She has a bachelor’s degree in social sciences and humanities from the National University of Rosario and then studied dentistry. However, she did not pursue her field of study but switched to modeling. In 2016, Antonela announced that she had signed a contract to model for Argentine fashion brand Ricky Sarkany.

While Messi earns hundreds of millions of dollars a year, his wife is not far behind. In 2017, Messi’s wife switched to the shoe business in Barcelona with a friend.

Although the couple has a large fortune, Antonela is not a girl who indulges in luxury shopping or lavish entertainment. She regularly participates in charity activities, helping people and hospitals.

Messi has nothing but praise for his wife

Before getting married, Messi and his wife welcomed two sons, and then a third 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧. Talking about his wife, Lionel Messi once had compliments: “My wife has many great qualities. I admire her

Messi and Antonela’s wedding is considered the “wedding of the century” in Argentina. The couple walked side by side into the wedding hall at a luxurious hotel – casino in their hometown of Rosario amid the joy and congratulations of relatives and fans.

It is known that to ensure security, the wedding ceremony needed 450 police guards, guests were forbidden from using phones, and wedding service staff had to promise to keep all activities secret during the event.

While many football players are involved in love scandals and noisy stories off the field, Messi is praised for being a loyal person. He spends a lot of time with his family, especially his 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren.

Talking about his feelings about being a father, Messi shared: “Having 3 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren has changed my perspective on life, my way of thinking and helped me become more mature”.

Like many other players, Messi is busy all year round with a tight schedule in tournaments, so he has very little time at home with his 3 sons. However, this Argentinian player will try to enjoy every moment, even if it is simply playing or watching TV with his 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren.
