Recently, Messi’s wife, Antonela, caught attention when she posted a picture of the back of her phone with a special designed phone case. The case features three little angels from Messi’s family and a message that reads “Children make life meaningful, they are the greatest busyness in the world”. This short message indicates that Antonela is a family woman.
The phone case with the 3 kids’ image of Antonela and the words “Children create meaningful lives, they are the greatest hustle in the world.” During a recent sharing session, Messi also expressed gratitude to his wife and admitted that Antonela is a strong support system that allows him to focus on playing.
Antonela is an amazing wife and I have a special respect for her. Whenever I am away from home, she dedicates her entire 24 hours to our children. There have been times when I have been away for a month or more and she has managed everything perfectly. I have even taken care of the kids for a whole day and understand how difficult it can be.
Messi and Antonela have been childhood sweethearts since they were six years old. Messi immediately fell in love with her cute friend. They have been dating since 2006 and have been together ever since. Antonela has been by Messi’s side throughout his major career milestones. At the Ballon d’Or award ceremony in 2003, Antonela and their three children were present to celebrate with Messi.
