Overview
- Messi and Antonela have been partners since childhood and married in 2017, and they raise three sons—Thiago, Mateo and Ciro—while keeping much of their family life out of the public eye.
- The family relocated to the United States after Messi joined Inter Miami in 2023 and now live in Fort Lauderdale, a move that has placed them closer to U.S. events and World Cup matches.
- During the 2026 World Cup, Antonela has appeared selectively in public and on social media to support Argentina while continuing to prioritize privacy and parenting.
- Antonela works as a model, entrepreneur and influencer with commercial partnerships that include Adidas, Tiffany & Co. and other lifestyle and beauty brands.
- Recent coverage notes a family health concern reported by the family and shows how the U.S. residency and tournament calendar have increased both the couple's public exposure and opportunities for brand and charitable work.
