In his recent interview to “Marca” Lionel Messi told, that he lives a normal family life, like any other human being. He tries to spend free time with a wife Antonella Roccuzzo and sons. And of course, he tries not to talk about football, when he is at home.
Antonella is known to all football fans in the world, although she is not a celebrity. But she is a woman, who managed to catch Lionel Messi’s heart. By the way, that was not an easy thing. They have been playing with one another since kindergarten age, cohabited together during 9 years, gave a birth to two sons and only then tied a knot officially. In spite of the status of international sports star wife, Anto prefers to stay in the shadow. So, what do we know about Messi’s wife?
She was born in Santa Fe, Argentinean province. Their family lived 5 minutes walk from Jorge and Celia Messi. Since 5 years old Antonella’s brother played with small Lionel. It was he, who introduced Lionel to small Antonella.
They parted the ways, when Messi turned 13. He moved with his father to Spain to play for FC Barcelona. Antonella also lived her own life. She graduated from school and entered the National University of Rosario, where she studied dietetics.
Having graduated from the University, Antonella began working at a local fitness club. She was very beautiful, but was not going to become a model or an actress. The tiny girl (who is just 5 ft 3 in of height) led a very simple modest life. She could remain unknown to the wide audience, if Lionel Messi would go mad from her.

Having become the football superstar, Messi gained a large fan base. Of course, women followed him, and he could have a new affair each next day. But Lionel was not a Lovelace. For a short period he dated a model Macarena Lemos. Then his name was connected with Playboy star Luciana Salazar.
But in 2008 Messi, who kept his personal life in privacy, suddenly was noticed on a date with a mysterious woman. In 2009 he introduced his girlfriend officially.
Soon the girl moved with her boyfriend to Spain. He introduced Anto to his friends. Nowadays Rocuzzo is in good terms with another “football” wife Shakira. The singer’s husband is a Barcelona star Gerard Piqué.
In 2012 Antonella got pregnant. Her boyfriend Messi shared the news with his fans in a very strange way. While playing against Ecuador at Monumental stadium, Messi scored a goal and then put a ball behind his T-shirt, pretending pregnancy. Thus, he opened a secret about his baby with Antonella, who was on the way then.
The couple welcomed two sons before they finally decided to make it official. Leo and Anto wedded in their hometown. Cesc Fabregas, Javier Alejandro Mascherano, Luis Suarez and their wives were among the guests.
In March, 2018 Messi and Rocuzzo became parents for the third time.

Date of birth: January 1, 1958
Probably, Leo Messi story started on that day, when his father Jorge Horácio Messi married a young attractive girl Celia María Cuccittini. They gave a birth to four kids, and one of them turned to be really special.
Jorge spent most part of his life in a big industrial city of Rosario. He was from a working class of the society and earned his living as a steel factory worker.
It was he, who taught his son to play football and noticed his talent to sports. He took Leo to the local sports club Grandoli and coached kids’ football team, where his son played.
Lionell Messi suffered from the lack of growth hormone, and his father took him to Spain to play for FC Barcelona. The managers of this club agreed to pay for costly treatment of Messi’s disease.
In spite of the fact that Jorge divorced with Messi’s mother, he remained the important person in his son’s life and served as his manger and agent.
In 2016 Lionel and his father were prosecuted for tax fraud. Jorge and his son were sentenced to 21 months of prison, but they both didn’t go to jail.
