Antonela Rocuzzo: Learn more about Lionel Messi’s wife

Discreet, Antonela Rocuzzo, wife of star Lionel Messi, does not grant interviews, does not appear on the cover of magazines, nor does she make controversial statements. On social networks, where she has 27.3 million followers, she doesn’t flaunt a luxurious life, she just shares photos with her husband, children, dogs, practicing physical activities and looks of the day.

Antonela makes the front pages of newspapers when her husband wins prizes and championships, such as the World Cup in Qatar, on Sunday (18). Accompanied by the couple’s three children, she entered the field to celebrate the title with Messi and went viral when he stopped the celebration to take pictures of her holding the cup – melting the hearts of Internet users.

“Mother of Thiago, Mateo and Ciro. I don’t have Twitter. I don’t have Facebook”, is how she introduces herself on her Instagram profile. She also provides a link to the website of the children’s clothing store Enfans, of which she is a partner with her cousin Andrea Lo Menzo, with whom she signs the pieces. The brand was inspired by a maternal grandmother who handcrafted the clothes of the family’s children.

On the social network, she also assumes to be a fan of the “Harry Potter” saga, written by JK Rowling. She has already shared photos of her children dressed in character clothes and her book collection. “This is the first ‘Harry Potter’ book, it’s 20 years old and already yellow. Who else is a fan?”, She asked in a post holding one of the copies.

The love story of Antonela and Messi, who had known each other since they were children, began in 2005 when she became depressed after the death of a friend and the player, who was on vacation in Rosario, got in touch to offer support. They started dating shortly afterwards in a long-distance relationship, but publicly took up their relationship in 2009. A year later, she moved to Barcelona and they got married in 2017.
