Lionel Messi takes his wife out for dinner after rumors of affair with female journalist

Last weekend, Lionel Messi and his wife dined at a restaurant in Miami, Florida, USA. The couple dined alone, without bringing their children or friends. It can be understood that this was Messi and his wife's evening alone.

This move was made nearly half a month after Messi was caught up in rumors of an affair with fellow football reporter Sofia Martinez. When appearing together at the restaurant, Messi and his wife appeared happy and comfortable.

Lionel Messi (36 years old) and his wife - Antonela Roccuzzo (35 years old) - responded positively when they saw a group of fans gathered in front of the restaurant to see the arrival and departure of the famous Argentine couple.

Messi is taking a break after a long time playing for Inter Miami (USA). Throughout his successful career at the world level, Lionel Messi has been known as a family man, he has never been involved in rumors of having an affair until... last November.

In November, several international sports news outlets reported that Lionel Messi had an affair with Argentine sports reporter Sofia Martinez.

Ms. Martinez works for Argentina's national television station, Televisión Pública. Martinez specializes in soccer coverage and is frequently sent to cover international sporting events live.

Martinez has been closely following the news surrounding Lionel Messi for many years. She has interviewed Messi many times at major events, such as the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and the 2023 Ballon d'Or awards ceremony in France.

In fact, a year ago, Messi caused a stir with his gentle gaze towards Martinez, when she became emotional while interviewing him after the semi-final match at the 2022 World Cup. Every time he met his compatriot at sporting events or after matches, Messi always seemed happy, comfortable and especially showed a lot of sympathy and favor to Martinez in terms of interview time.

This is what sparked rumors that Messi and Martinez were having an affair last November. Both Messi and his wife remained silent, not speaking out about the baseless rumors.

After the baseless rumors arose, female reporter Sofia Martinez spoke up and shared: "The information that is being spread is not true. I don't know where it comes from. I once talked to Messi's wife - Antonela Roccuzzo. I really admire her for the way she deals with false information."

When appearing in interviews conducted by Martinez, Lionel Messi often attracts attention because he often gives gentle eyes to female reporter Sofia Martinez. The two also often have gestures showing their close relationship such as high-fives and cheek-to-cheek greetings whenever they meet.

Whenever he saw Martinez among the reporters waiting to interview him, Messi always gave her a lot of sympathy and priority. He did not forget to take time to interview Martinez privately and sometimes stayed a little longer to answer her extended questions.

In addition to quick interviews, Martinez is also a female reporter who was trusted by the station where she works to conduct in-depth interviews with Messi. On her social media account, Martinez shares many pictures and clips revolving around Messi.

In previous interviews, whenever Messi talked about his family and wife and children, he always showed that family means a lot to him: "When we have our own family, each of us will grow more mature in the process of learning and experiencing.

We gain more experience from family life. As a man, having 3 young children has changed my perspective on life, even changed my way of thinking, helping me to truly mature."

Talking about his wife, Messi always has good words, expressing his admiration: "She has many good qualities and outstanding advantages. The way she handles daily tasks as well as her balanced and positive emotional state makes me admire her. She always faces problems in a way worth learning. My wife is an intelligent and excellent person in my eyes in every aspect."

Antonela studied humanities and sociology at university. After graduating, she studied dentistry. When she decided to marry Messi, she gave up her own career to become a "housewife" in the family, helping Messi focus on his football career. Currently, Antonela Roccuzzo owns a very popular children's fashion brand.
