Messi discussed with family before moving to Miami
Unquestionable evidence of Lionel Messi’s relationship with his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, and their kids was presented during the Ballon d’Or ceremony. The 36-year-old makes sure they are at his side no matter what.
In his award speech, Messi disclosed that he had consulted his sons and wife before they moved to Miami in the summer. He disclosed for the first time that his kids were eager to stay in Paris, but he persuaded them to go to Miami.
Lionel Messi and Antonela Roccuzzo have been spotted several times during their stay in the USA. They have been watching academy matches involving their kids, particularly Thiago. Their 11-year-old son was recently seen attending a competition with his buddies in Naples, Florida, where they were previously spotted.

Lionel Messi has already talked about how his youngsters’ curiosity motivated him to do better in particular games. In addition, he performed pre-game celebrations in their honour before scoring his first goals for Inter Miami.
After winning the Ballon d’Or, Lionel Messi was quick to thank a lot of people. He also thanked his family as he lifted his 8th historic Ballon d’Or. He said, ‘I want to share and thank my families, the fans who are in Argentina and those in Miami, and of course my personal family, my wife and children once again.’
His sons were then called up to the podium too. Leo was seen with a smile on his face as his three songs posed with the trophy next to him. Even Antonela looked slightly emotional watching her boys on stage. Messi and Roccuzzo appear to be incredibly involved parents who have centred their lives around their kids.
