Whenever Lionel Messi shares details about his personal life, it instantly becomes headline news. The Inter Miami star recently sat down with Nahuel Guzmán on the podcast Miro de Atrás, where he discussed several topics, including the Argentina national team, the rivalry with Mexico, and other key moments from his legendary career.
However, what truly captured attention was a deeper revelation about one of the most important chapters in his relationship with Antonela Roccuzzo.
Messi confessed how he proposed to Antonela
During his time at FC Barcelona, Messi and Antonela’s long-standing romance-one that began in their childhood in Rosario, Argentina-took the next step toward marriage. According to the MLS superstar, it was always something that felt inevitable.
“We had already been together for many years. We already had Thiago and Mateo; we already had two sons. And well, one time we went out to eat in Barcelona, at a hotel, we spent the night, and that’s where I proposed to her-but more or less it was already something that was known, it had to be, but it was more in a romantic style. It wasn’t like the chain suddenly broke one day and you said, ‘Ah, let’s get married, that’s it,'” Messi shared.
“No, no, it was more romantic, but more or less like that-setting the date, something like that. Yes, because it was already like the bond was being made official,” he added.
The 2022 World Cup champion and Antonela Roccuzzo now share three children and remain one of the most recognized couples in world football. After spending over two decades linked to Barcelona, they are now building a new chapter in Miami, adapting to life in the MLS and the United States, where Messi continues to expand his global legacy both on and off the pitch.
