It’s Super Bowl LIX time between Chiefs and Eagles. The Caesars Superdome is probably the most important place in America on the night of February 9. As expected, not only footballs but celebrities from media, films, and other sports have also come to watch the historic game. One of them is the soccer legend Lionel Messi. He hasn’t come alone. Accompanying him is his wife, Antonella Roccuzzo.

The FC Barcelona legend has a lovely family. His wife and 3 kids are his constant supporters, going with him wherever he wants. This time, he chose New Orleans.

Lionel Messi and Antonella Roccuzzo’s love story! A complete timeline.

A model and a businesswoman, Roccuzzo, has worked with many reputed brands, such as Adidas, Sarkany, and Stella McCartney. The childhood lover of Messi has come a long way. It’s a sweet journey full of love, admiration, and praise for each other.

They met first in school, but the soccer star moved to Europe. But when her best friend, Ursula Notz, passed away in a car accident in 2005, he reconnected with her, paying tribute. It sparked an emotional connection.

Though she was the girlfriend of Lionel Messi, she remained in Argentina while he became a global name. After completing her bachelor’s degree in humanities and social sciences from the National University of Rosario, she decided to pursue a postgraduate degree in dentistry. Alas, it didn’t work out.

She flew to stay forever with him. On June 30, 2017, they got married in the ‘wedding of the century’ in front of the superstars and teammates, including Shakira and Gerard Pique. In July 2023, the family moved to Miami, USA.

Over the years, they have also started a cute family. It’s incredible!

Lionel Messi’s 3 boys are his biggest achievement

“My son has changed my life more than the Ballon d’Or awards have,” said the soccer legend in 2013 after his eldest son Thiago Messi Roccuzzo was born on November 2, 2012. While it added responsibility as a father, the couple were happy.

They welcomed another son, Mateo Messi Roccuzzo, on September 11, 2015. Lionel Messi once claimed that Thiago was more on the calmer side, but Mateo was super competitive, just like him. And that’s right. When Argentina lost to Saudi Arabia in the 2022 World Cup, Mateo had tears in his eyes.

Both sons attended their parents’ wedding in 2017. And the couple welcomed their 3rd son, Ciro Messi Roccuzzo, on March 10, 2018. It made the legend truly emotional. Messi got Ciro’s date of birth tattooed on his calf, along with the names of his other sons.

In 2022, his entire family was in the stadium as Lionel Messi lifted the World Cup Trophy. It completed his soccer career. In 2025, he was in New Orleans to watch a very special game. The Super Bowl LIX!
