Lionel Messi is one of the most
famous soccer players in the world. Like Maradona, he’s an Argentine. So is his
girlfriend, Antonella Roccuzzo, a 24-year-old, gorgeous brunette.
She is
extremely discreet, a student of nutrition and dietetics student and fan of
Newell’s Old Boys soccer team back in their homeland, Rosario.
Antonella Roccuzzo is a simple
girl who dislikes being in the limelight. Despite her relationship with one of
the most famous soccer players in the world, Antonella guards her privacy.
She is
the daughter of Jose Roccuzzo, a businessman in the supermarket sector, and
Patricia Blanco, a devoted housewife. She is what you could call the girl next
door.
Messi and
Roccuzzo got engaged two years ago and are going strong. They have always been
very discreet, and their public appearances are scarce.
An
Argentine love story
The
love story between Antonella Roccuzzo and Lionel Messi started many years ago. They
met when they were just 5 years old, as their families are friends. Antonella
is Lionel’s best friend Lucas Scaglia’s cousin, so they basically grew up
together.
Lionel moved from Argentina to Barcelona when he was
very young. He suffered from a growth problem that could not be cured at home,
so all the family moved to Europe in order for him to have a chance.
And
he did! Not only did he grow taller than expected, but he became one of
the best soccer players in history.Meanwhile, Antonella remained
in Rosario where Messi usually flew back to for the holidays. It was on
Christmas vacation in 2009, that they met again and fell in love with each
other.
Although they tried to keep a
low profile, Argentine magazines kept showcasing the couple, publishing
pictures of them walking on the beach or going about their everyday lives.When
they were spotted together at a Sitges Carnival, the world buzzed with news
of their budding romance. Still, they didn’t confirm it for another year.
Antonella Roccuzzo lives in
Rosario, but she travels, from time to time, to Barcelona to be with her
beloved “Pulga.” Sometimes it is Messi who flies to Argentina. They have an apartment
in the best area of Buenos Aires, on the 34th floor of the Chateau Tower of
Puerto Madero.
