It was in Rosario, Argentina that Antonela was born on 26 February 1988 to her father, Jose Roccuzzo who was a businessman and banker, and her mother, Patricia Roccuzzo who was a full-time housewife. It was also in Rosario that she was brought up together with two siblings Carla Roccuzzo and Paula Roccuzzo.

For her education, she attended her early schools in the community that she was brought up and then proceeded to the University of Argentina to study towards becoming a dentist. She was said to have later switched to social communication. However, she would later opt for modeling instead of continuing in the field of her studies.

How Messi and His Wife Met

Messi and Antonella Roccuzzo met when they were still kids growing up in Argentina, back in the early 1990s. At the time, Messi was very close to Lucas Scaglia who was his childhood and also a footballer. Lucas also happens to be Antonela’s cousin, hence, it was through him that the two met and became close.

They remained as friends but Messi and Roccuzzo did not start dating until around 2009 as Lionel later left the country for Spain where he trained with the Barcelona youth team before he was later promoted to the senior team.

Contrary to the belief that Messi and his wife had always dated since they were kids, when he moved to Spain, they were platonic friends. Hence she started a relationship with another boy. However, in 2007 when she realized that Leo was coming back to Argentina, she dumped her boyfriend and went after her first love.

According to the boyfriend, he was consoled that at least, she dumped him for Lionel Messi.
