Messi has known Antonella, also from Rosario, since he was five years old. Diego Vallejos, a childhood friend of Messi, told AFP that the couple met aged nine and Messi "fell in love at first sight" with Roccuzzo. Though Leo left Argentina to join FC Barcelona aged 13, he still remained in touch with his lady love over the telephone and by writing her letters. Football community across the globe came to know about their relationship when the Barcelona forward confirmed the same in an interview in January 2009. Since then, they have had two sons, four year old Thiago and Mateo turning two in September.

SPORTSMADDY wishes the couple a happy married life.
