If there’s ever an athlete who is winning on and off the field, it’s Argentina superstar forward Lionel Messi.
The 38-year-old has accomplished everything possible in his soccer career. He has made many individual records, won the UEFA Champions League four times, made a staggering amount of money and even won the 2022 World Cup with Argentina, which put the cherry on top of his now immaculate resumé.
What’s perhaps even more impressive is what Messi has accomplished in his family life. He has been happily married to his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, since 2017, although the two have known each other since they were toddlers.
The couple has three sons (Thiago, who was born in 2012, Mateo, who was born in 2015, and Ciro, who was born in 2018). It’s usually tough for athletes to keep their family life so stable, but Messi has prioritized that throughout his career and flourished because of it.
Roccuzzo posted an Instagram photo of herself and all three of her sons at Argentina’s first World Cup group-stage game last week, which was captioned (in translated English), “Let’s go Argentina!!!! 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
With you always @leomessi !!!! You are amazing!! 🤍 🤍”.
This sparked a response from Messi, who commented “❤️❤️❤️❤️ los amo,” which translates to, “I love you all.”
The entire Messi family is in Texas, as Argentina has a match against Austria at AT&T Stadium on June 22.
