Antonela Roccuzzo

Lionel Messi and Antonela Rocuzzo have a beautiful love story. The couple met when they were kids and now are married with three beautiful children.

For more than 15 years, Antonela has cheered him on, from Germany in 2006, South Africa in 2010, Brazil in 2014, Russia in 2018 and now for Qatar 2022, in which he made her and a whole nation excited and proud while becoming the best player in the World Cup. But a personal tragedy brought them back together, prompting Messi to return to Argentina in order to be with Antonela as she coped with the weight of her loss. Their relationship evolved over the years, surviving distance and culminating in their marriage and the birth of their three beautiful children.

From childhood sweetheart to one-half of sport's couple of the moment — this is Mrs Messi.

There they have a house complete with 25 rooms called The Fortress, which they plan to live in once Messi retires. “Anytime you want to come to a show feel free and I’ll see you there. But as the designer herself said: “Dressing Antonella for her wedding to Leo Messi is a real honour, and a real responsibility. As for the 250 guests, who had their phones banned during the nuptials, they were treated to a sushi station, empanadas (traditional pasties), and a casserole of sweetbreads and blood sausage. Being asked to create a gown for an occasion as special and unique as her wedding day is a source of enormous pride for our company.” At the time, Messi was playing in a youth football tournament in the nearby city of Balcarce, and Roccuzzo had come along to support her cousin who was also playing. She has also worked with the likes of Stella McCartney, Adidas, and Alo Yoga. Then, less than a year later, Roccuzzo made the decision to cut her career short and move to Barcelona to support her beau. That’s despite Messi conceding that Antonella “gets bored of football”, in a 2013 interview with Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, proving her utmost loyalty to the athlete. “You grow and you learn,” Messi told FC Barcelona about being a father. “On the one hand, it was spectacular to come play at Barcelona. She is highly intelligent and well rounded in all aspects of life.”

Behind every great man, there's an even greater woman, so Antonela Roccuzzo must be the GOAT if she's married to Lionel Messi, who just won the 2022 FIFA ...

Celebrating a World Cup title with her is probably now tied with their wedding day and births of his three children. Brady, 45, and Messi are often compared to each other due to being the greatest of all time at their respective sports.
