Who Is Lionel Messi's Wife? All About Model Antonela Roccuzzo
Hello, you, person who makes soccer your entire personality once every four years when the World Cup rolls around. We're here to talk about Lionel Messi and his wife, model Antonela Roccuzzo, who just became the latest couple to blow up after appearing on Coldplay's infamous kiss cam (but, like, for a good reason). The two got a special shout-out during Coldplay's final U.S. show on their Music of the Spheres World Tour on July 27—and if you, like many fans, are saying, 'Messi is married???' then we're here to catch you up to speed. Starting with: Lionel and Antonela have known each other since they were kids thanks to Antonela being the cousin of Lionel's childhood bestie (and fellow soccer player) Lucas Scaglia. They even grew up in the same hometown of Rosario, Argentina—and while Lionel ended up moving away to Barcelona to pursue his soccer career, they stayed in touch throughout their teen years. Lionel even reportedly flew back home to support Antonela in 2005 when her best friend tragically died in a car accident. These two were pretty private and low-key in the early days of their relationship, though they did get papped a lot, usually while Lionel was wearing a speedo: They eventually went public in the mid-aughts and it's been non-stop cuteness ever since. And since being officially official, they've occasionally given fans cute BTS pics of the early days in their 'ship. Prepare for your heart to skip several beats: On top of being held at a luxury hotel in their home city of Rosario, there were some major A-list guests including Luis Suárez, Gerard Piqué, and Shakira. All boys, named Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro. While Antonela doesn't speak to the media much, Lionel chatted to FC Barcelona about fatherhood and his family, saying, "You grow and you learn. You gather experience in all aspects of life, on and off the field. But, as a human being, having three children changed my perspective on life, my way of thinking and it also helped me grow." She has worked with brands including Stella McCartney, Adidas, and most recently Alo. But she's been modeling for years. Here she is signing a modeling contract allll the way back in 2016! Before taking her relationship with Messi public, Antonela attended the National University of Rosario and studied dentistry as well as social communication. But she eventually moved to Barcelona to support Lionel and have cute moments like this: Antonela is extremely supportive of Lionel's career and rarely misses his games. So yes, obviously she was there for his 2022 FIFA World Cup win! As he put it to FC Barcelona, "I really admire how she deals with the day to day, she is always in a good mood and she approaches problems admirably. She is highly intelligent and well rounded in all aspects of life." Cool, excited for these two to join the Beckhams and the Federers as sporty couples we're obsessed with!

Lionel Messi attends Coldplay gig in Miami with Antonela Roccuzzo; fans say 'at least someone went with their own wife'
Social media had plenty to say after Argentine footballer Lionel Messi and his wife Antonela Roccuzzo were spotted at a Coldplay concert in Miami—especially in light of the recent viral scandal involving Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his colleague Kristin Cabot. Lionel Messi was at Coldplay's gig with wife and kids. The 38-year-old footballer, who currently plays for David Beckham's Inter Miami, attended the concert over the weekend at Hard Rock Stadium, where Coldplay is currently on the US leg of their 2025 tour. While fans were excited to see Lionel enjoying the show, it was the sight of him sitting beside his wife that sparked widespread attention online. Just days earlier, a different Coldplay concert—this one at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough—made headlines after the band's 'kiss cam' captured Andy and Kristin, the company's chief people officer, in an intimate moment. The video went viral, prompting speculation and backlash due to their professional relationship and the optics of their public display. In contrast, Lionel's low-key date night with Antonela was seen as a breath of fresh air. 'At least someone went with their own wife. Good,' a user wrote in the comments section of the post shared by Lionel's wife about the concert. Another commented, 'Some couples doesn't have to hide their love. In life they found each other, in each other they found love.' Adding to the charm of the evening, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin took a moment on stage to acknowledge Messi's presence in the crowd. 'Leo. My beautiful brother. You and your wife are looking so fine. Thanks for coming today to see our band playing, the number one sportsperson of all time,' Chris said, to roaring applause from thousands of fans. While Coldplay's shows have been delivering plenty of viral moments—ranging from romantic to controversial—Lionel's appearance stood out for all the right reasons. In an internet landscape quick to react and dissect, the footballer's quiet, wholesome outing with his wife was celebrated as the kind of love story that doesn't need a spotlight to feel iconic.
