Amidst the victory celebrations, the moment when hero Messi shared his happiness with his wife Antonela Roccuzzo and 3 sons on the field made many fans “melt”. Many people couldn’t help but be curious about Messi’s beautiful wife.
Messi met Roccuzzo when he was just 5 years old. At 13, the football legend moved to Spain to pursue his football dream. It wasn’t until 2005 that they met again and started dating. The couple went public with their relationship at the 2010 World Cup and married 7 years later.
Commenting on Roccuzzo, Messi once said: “My wife, Antonela, is a wonderful person. I really admire the way she handles her daily work. She is always happy, intelligent and perfect in every aspect of her life.”
Roccuzzo was born into a family considered wealthy in Argentina. Her grandmother was the founder of the Unico supermarket chain in Rosario (Argentina). The second of three children, Roccuzzo has a rather quiet personality.
According to Vanity Fair España, Roccuzzo has a bachelor’s degree in social sciences and humanities from the National University of Rosario. She also studied dentistry, but dropped out of graduate school to be closer to Messi. In 2016, Roccuzzo modeled for Argentine fashion label Ricky Sarkany.

In 2017, Roccuzzo teamed up with WAG Sofía Balbi, wife of footballer Luis Suárez, and footwear brand Sarkany to open a store in Barcelona. But in 2019, they decided to close the store to spend more time with their family and children.
Roccuzzo is still a star, with an Instagram account that has 25 million followers. According to People magazine, she has collaborated with fashion brands such as Alo Yoga, Adidas, Dolce & Gabbana and Stella McCartney. She also regularly attends famous fashion shows such as Louis Vuitton, Guerlain, Dior and many others.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Roccuzzo currently has a net worth of $20 million. Despite her large fortune, not to mention her husband’s more than 500 million euros, Messi’s wife still lives simply. In addition to taking care of her family and work, Roccuzzo also regularly participates in charity activities.
