Messi once said: “My wife, with all the disadvantages in her heart, has supported and accompanied me.” He has been with his beautiful wife since they were teenagers and Messi has some clear reasons why he has never been close to other women.
Messi and Roccuzzo are childhood friends
When Messi was a child, he was just a boy who dreamed of becoming a football player. Although he didn’t understand anything about love, that day, he sat down at the table in his room, picked up a piece of paper, a pen and started writing: “Antonella…”.
Even though he didn’t understand anything about love, that day he wrote: “Antonella…”.
Lionel Messi and Antonella Roccuzzo’s story dates back to their childhood in Rosario, Argentina. They were connected through Messi’s cousin and Roccuzzo’s cousin, Lucas Scaglia. Even when Messi moved to Barcelona to pursue his football career, they kept in touch.
Their relationship took a dramatic turn in 2005 when Messi flew back to Argentina to be there for Roccuzzo after she tragically lost her best friend.
They have been a couple since 2009 and went public with their relationship in mid-2000. Although they usually keep their love life private, they have been an official couple for a long time, attracting fans’ attention with intimate photos.
Roccuzzo has always been beautiful and charming, but Messi’s commitment to his wife goes beyond appearances.
Messi’s 2017 wedding in Rosario was a huge event, often referred to as the “Wedding of the Century.” The wedding had 260 guests, including famous names such as Luis Suárez, Gerard Piqué and Shakira. Messi is so devoted to his wife that he avoids any physical contact with other women.
His intimacy is only for his wife.
It is said that he wanted to become the best football player in the world to give Roccuzzo a great life. However, after they got married, many female fans tried to “test” his fidelity.
There have been notable die-hard fans, influencers, and even fans who got Messi tattoos on their bodies and sent him pictures of themselves wearing his jersey.
Messi’s reaction was quick – he stopped her in time.
Messi rarely touches women when taking photos together
Messi limits physical contact with other women because for him, intimacy is only reserved for his wife.
Many people have noticed that Messi seems awkward when taking pictures with other women. He often stands in an unusual position, with his hands at his sides or in his pockets, and avoids putting his arm around the woman in the photo.
The move is believed to have been made because the football superstar wanted to prevent the media from misinterpreting the photos and implying anything inappropriate when there was none. Even when he posed for photos with Shakira, he kept his distance, insisting that their relationship was purely platonic.
Messi’s commitment to maintaining boundaries with women other than his wife is a true example for married men, especially those in a more promiscuous environment. Messi prioritizes his private life with Roccuzzo and their children, constantly emphasizing his unwavering devotion to her since childhood. This level of “dedication” is truly rare and admirable.
