Lionel Andrés Messi, 35 years old, often described as the best soccer player in the world, is probably also the most loyal.

During the period 2006-2009, Messi experienced some of the best moments in his career. This caused him to move often, which is why he decided to give Antonela (today, his wife) the opportunity to meet someone else.

For a very short time, a man, whose identity is still unknown, tried to steal Antonela Roccuzzo's heart, but it all ended quickly and the Messi-Roccuzzo couple publicly admitted their relationship in 2009. He has known Antonella Roccuzzo since he was a child (9-10 years old).

Through friends and cousins, they met in Argentina, never to be separated from each other again. In 2017, after a decade of dating, the couple decided to get married.

However, the facts about their long-term love tell us not only the years of acquaintance, but also other details, such as these:

- Here too, he is trying to be polite, without overdoing it with touch:

- Whereas, body language changes from 0-10, when the footballer is next to his wife:

The couple has 3 sons: Thiago (age 7), Mateo (age 4), Ciro (age 2). Antonella Roccuzzo is a former model and currently, entrepreneur.
