Behind Lionel Messi’s success in football lies immense talent, discipline, and the unconditional support of his family. Antonela Roccuzzo, the wife of the Argentine superstar, has been instrumental in providing Messi with a stable and happy personal life. Not only is she a dedicated wife, but also a loving mother to their three children: Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro. That’s why, on her 36th birthday, the world champion couldn’t miss the opportunity to show his love for his better half.
Messi took to his Instagram account to dedicate a special message to Antonela on her special day. He wrote, “Happy birthday, princess! I love you ,” tagging the birthday girl. Along with his heartfelt message, the footballer shared a photo from what seemed to be a beautiful birthday celebration organized in honor of Antonela.
The picture showed Leo and his wife posing with smiles, surrounded by colorful pastel-toned balloon arrangements that framed a panel with the words “Happy Birthday Anto” in golden letters. As part of the decoration, there were also three vases with roses and, most notably, figures of two famous Disney characters: Pocahontas and Cinderella.
While some might think that these decorative elements would be more suited for a children’s party, they were actually a lovely detail through which Messi reinforced what he mentioned in his birthday message: that his wife is his princess.
In addition to being happy, the birthday girl looked stunning during her celebration. She wore light blue flare jeans, a white vest, and sandals in the same shade. Messi, on the other hand, opted for a comfortable and casual look, sporting frayed shorts and a gray tie-dye Louis Vuitton t-shirt with an orange brand logo. Fans of the footballer applauded their idol for celebrating the mother of his children on her special day, especially after his recent trip from Miami to Los Angeles for a match against the Galaxy. They also sent their best wishes to Antonela on her new journey around the sun.
In addition to Messi’s greeting, Antonela received heartfelt messages from several friends, many of which she shared on her Instagram stories. Among them, Victoria Beckham’s greeting stood out. Alongside her husband David, she warmly welcomed the Argentine family upon their arrival in Miami. “Happy birthday @antonelaroccuzzo! Kisses,” wrote the British designer, posting a photo of the two of them.
Sofía Balbi, the wife of Uruguayan footballer Luis Suárez and a close friend of ‘Anto,’ also dedicated a few words to the birthday girl. “Happy birthday, my beautiful friend, my sister! It’s so nice to have you back in my life. I tell you often how much I love you. Enjoy your day to the fullest,” wrote the gorgeous Uruguayan, who, along with her family, has embarked on a new chapter in Miami as her husband joined Inter Miami.
