Antonela Roccuzzo Shares Insights into Daily Life with Messi

In a rare and candid interview, Antonela Roccuzzo, the wife of Argentine football legend Lionel Messi, has opened up about their daily family life and parenting their three sons, Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro. Speaking to Vogue Mexico for their June 2025 cover feature, Antonela described their household as “super normal,” emphasizing the importance of family unity, routine, and mutual support in their bustling life in Miami, where Messi plays for Inter Miami.

Antonela and Messi’s love story began in their childhood in Rosario, Argentina, though their romance blossomed years later. The couple went public with their relationship in 2010, ahead of the World Cup in South Africa, and tied the knot in a lavish ceremony on June 30, 2017, attended by 260 guests, including stars like Shakira, Gerard Piqué, Neymar, and Luis Suárez. The event was so grand that nearly 20 private jets reportedly landed in Rosario to ferry high-profile attendees.

In the Vogue interview, Antonela shared how she and Messi maintain a structured routine to balance their busy lives. “I find it hard to break habits. Keeping the house organized is important to me. We arrange everything in the morning so we can spend the afternoons with our kids,” she explained. With their sons still young, Antonela prioritizes being present for them, noting, “They’re growing up, but my focus is being there for them.”

As a mother, Antonela emphasized instilling respect in her children. “For me, it’s crucial that the boys understand they must respect everyone. Respect is the most important thing,” she said. “With three boys, we talk a lot at home. Communication is key. We want them to know we’re not better than anyone else, and we try to pass on the same values our parents taught us.” This grounded approach reflects the couple’s desire to raise their children with humility despite their global fame.

Antonela also highlighted the teamwork that defines their marriage. “We’re a very close-knit family, and we’re a team. We move forward by supporting each other,” she told the Mexican media. “Right now, Messi is supporting me a lot, and it’s truly wonderful.” The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner’s support has been vital as Antonela juggles her roles as a mother, entrepreneur, and influencer with nearly 40 million followers.

Fitness is a cornerstone of Antonela’s daily routine. “Training and staying active are essential for my balance,” she shared. “If I miss a workout or can’t stick to my routine, I feel a bit off.” Additionally, she revealed her love for reading, particularly her fandom of the Harry Potter series, offering a glimpse into her personal interests.

Antonela’s openness about her “super normal” family life with Messi has endeared her further to fans, showcasing a relatable side to one of football’s most iconic couples.
