Lionel Messi and Antonela Roccuzzo’s Love Story Is One for the Books

Earlier this year, with his time in Paris drawing to a close, soccer watchers wondered if Messi would possibly return to Barcelona or follow Cristiano Ronaldo‘s lead and sign a mid-nine-figure deal to play in Saudi Arabia. Instead, he turned the sporting world on its head and signed with Inter Miami—fulfilling a longtime goal for team co-owner David Beckham, who admittedly always pictured having the GOAT romping on the grass at DRV PNK Stadium.  

So, Messi and Roccuzzo packed up and moved to Florida, a shift in the global soccer order that was documented for the Apple TV+ series Messi Meets America.

They’ve since acquired a 10,500-square-foot waterfront mansion in Fort Lauderdale for $10.75 million, according to the Miami Herald, and got right down to business. (And play, the couple doing dinners with Messi’s new teammates and Roccuzzo having a night out with Victoria Beckham.)

The humble routine, however, remained the same: “I finish training at 1 p.m., then I go home and Antonela and I have lunch,” Messi shared with OLGA host Migue Granados, per Hola!. “I take a nap and we watch TV or movies.” 

Though the team, which was in last place when Messi arrived, will miss the MLS playoffs this season, Miami games have become A-list destinations (Who wasn’t there when they played the Galaxy in Los Angeles?) and the once-foundering club won the Leagues Cup with their new megastar forward in July, giving Messi his all-time record 44th major soccer trophy.
