When the two first met, Messi was playing a game at Lucas’s house. Antonella (Lucas’ cousin) approached the two and asked if they needed anything, but Messi was too shy and couldn’t say anything. At that time, Messi was 9 years old and Antonella was 8 years old.
Messi has taken care of little Antonella since then and they became friends. The Argentinian soccer star frequents his best friend Lucas’s house in hopes of meeting his beautiful cousin.

Leo Messi soon “collapsed” before Antonella Rocuzzo. He often writes letters to her, repeatedly affirming that when they grow up, Antonella will be his girlfriend.
In 2000, Messi’s father, George Messi, decided to move the family to Barcelona. Messi and Antonella have not seen each other for a long time. They tried to keep in touch, but because the means were not convenient, contact between the two became less and less. The beautiful girl that day also had a new boyfriend.
In 2005, Antonella’s friend died in a traffic accident. At that time, Antonella was only 17 years old and suffered great pain. As soon as he heard the news, Messi immediately flew to Argentina to be with Antonella.
That’s when the couple’s relationship progressed. Messi and Antonella feel their deeper feelings for each other, but choose to remain silent, not revealing anything.

After that, Messi returned to Barcelona, and Antonella started studying at the National University of Rosario. Their love story began in July 2007, but it was not until 2009 that Messi made it public to the media about his girlfriend.
Despite having a lover who is a famous player, Antonella is not too fond of football. Messi has shared many times: “She is tired of football. When I come home, talking about games and goals, Antonella doesn’t care.”
Lionel Messi and Antonela Roccuzzo have three children in total: Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro, and they are almost three years apart. (Source: Instagram)
