Lionel Messi is married to Antonela Roccuzzo, and the answer to one of football’s most searched questions has a firm date attached to it: the couple formally tied the knot in Rosario in 2017. They are now raising three sons — Thiago, Mateo and Ciro — as Messi’s career has taken the family from Barcelona to Paris and then Miami.
That interest has only grown as Messi settled into life in Miami after leaving Paris Saint-Germain in 2021 and moving to Inter Miami in 2023. For readers asking, “Is Messi married?” the short answer is yes, and Roccuzzo has been beside him through each move, turning the question into a look at a relationship that has stretched across most of his adult life.
The pair were childhood friends long before they were husband and wife. Roccuzzo had been in a relationship with Messi since 2008, and he first confirmed the romance in an interview in January 2009, with the two later going public in Sitges after the Barcelona–Espanyol derby. That timeline explains why the marriage drew attention when it came in 2017: the relationship was already well established, and the wedding simply made public what had been developing for years.
Roccuzzo, a model and businesswoman from Rosario, has followed Messi’s career in step rather than at a distance, adapting with him from Barcelona to Paris and now Miami. She is expected to be at his side again at the 2026 World Cup, which fits the pattern that has defined their relationship for more than a decade. The unresolved question is not whether they are married; it is how long they can keep building a family life that has already crossed three countries and two continents.
