Lionel Messi seems to have made history, and such has been the impact of society to his decision to leave Barça that even most of the country's news have opened with this headline.

Who is messi's wife?

Those who follow Antonella Roccuzzo know that she is a complete businesswoman, although she had to leave everything behind in order to devote herself to her children and husband full time. Again, this has not detracted her from all the international respect for taking on some business ventures while doing her modeling work.

How did Messi meet his wife?

In this article we will review the story of Antonella Roccuzzo, how she met Lionel Messi, her career with him and some details of her life that have not gone unnoticed. However, there is information that is not available in the public sphere, so some things will be omitted.

Antonella Roccuzzo was born in Argentina, Rosario, the same place that would see her get married a few years later. The Roccuzzos had a large chain of supermarkets under the same name with the patriarch of the family at the helm, José. Her mother Patricia was dedicated to raising Antonella, Paula and Carla.

Antonella was the couple's second daughter and attended school at the Centro Educativo Latinoamericano. It is said that when she was a little girl, she met Messi thanks to her cousin, but neither of them expected that they would later become the great couple they were destined to be.

It is said that the little Messi fell in love with her since he was a child, but unfortunately nothing could materialize because his father Jorge Messi decided to send the Argentinean crack to Spain to try out for Barcelona. She continued her studies for a bachelor's degree in Humanities and Social Sciences.

Then the worst and the best happened for her. She received the tragic news of the death of a friend of hers and this caused Messi to return to reunite with his platonic love. From that moment, the spark arose between them and they decided to form a couple at first hidden from the public.
