Lionel Messi Shares Heartfelt Birthday Wishes for Wife Antonella Roccuzzo on Instagram

Paris Saint-Germain forward Lionel Messi took to Instagram to wish his wife, Antonella Roccuzzo, a happy birthday. His message read: "Happy birthday to my life. Have a beautiful day. I love you."

The couple's story stretches back many years. Messi, 34, and Roccuzzo have been together since 2008 and tied the knot in 2017. Their friendship dates even further back—they've known each other since they were five, both growing up in Rosario, Argentina. The family now includes three sons: Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro.

For most of their life as a family, they lived in Barcelona. That changed when Messi moved to PSG after Barcelona couldn't renew his contract last summer. This shift marked a big adjustment for them, but it appears they've settled well into life in France.

On the pitch, Messi has shown solid form with PSG, though not quite matching the extraordinary levels fans have come to expect. He's now gearing up for a return to Spain to face Real Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League last 16 at the Santiago Bernabeu. PSG holds a narrow 1-0 advantage from the first leg played at the Parc des Princes.
