The love story of Messi and his wife has made many people admire. Currently, they are enjoying a peaceful life with their children, not caught up in gossip or noisy scandals.A love story from when we met when we were 5 years old

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

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

Not only at this World Cup, but the model often comes with her children to watch matches where Messi plays to cheer. She is also a companion woman, willing to step back and take care of the family so that her husband can feel secure about his football career.

This couple’s love story is likened to a “real life fairy tale” that lasted for a decade. Even though they experienced separation, they 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 close friend.

People still say that Messi has a shy personality, but in love affairs, this player is completely different.

Messi’s best friend’s father recalled that when he was a boy, Messi “couldn’t take his eyes off Antonela” for even a second. Messi even wrote and sent letters confessing his love, which confirmed that Antonela would later be his girlfriend.

When Messi moved to play in 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 up to thousands of kilometers. During his years playing in Spain, Antonela’s image was always kept in his heart by Messi.

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

The two people’s feelings became even deeper when Messi decided to fly 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. It was Messi who stood by, encouraged and helped Antonela revive her spirit.

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

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

If Messi earns hundreds of millions of dollars every year, his wife is no less. In 2017, Messi’s wife turned to the shoe business in Barcelona with a friend.

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

Messi is full of praise for his wife

Before getting married, Messi and his wife welcomed two sons, then a third child was born. Talking about his wife, Lionel Messi once had kind words: “My wife has many great qualities. I admire the way she solves everything. She is smart and good at all aspects of life.” .

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 luxury hotel and casino in Rosario’s hometown amid the joy and congratulations of relatives and fans.

It is known that to ensure security, the wedding requires 450 police guards, guests are prohibited from using phones, and wedding staff must promise to keep all activities secret during the entire event.

While many football players are caught up in love scandals and noisy affairs off the field, Messi is praised as a loyal person. He spends a lot of time with his family, especially his children.

Talking about his feelings about becoming 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 three sons. However, this Argentinian player will try to enjoy every moment, whether it is simply having fun or watching TV with his children.

In a press conference after the 2022 World Cup quarter-final match, Messi once said: “My wife and children are always here no matter what happens, seeing them happy today is the best thing.”

That happiness gave Messi and his teammates more mental strength in the World Cup semi-finals and finals.

Every day, images shared on social networks show that the couple and their children always cherish their moments together, smiling brightly and filled with happiness.

Behind today’s success is Messi’s daily efforts, but no one can deny that his wife and children are a solid support for this player on his vast career path.
