Lionel Messi may be one of the best, if not the best-ever player in the history of soccer. He has won every trophy and individual award possible, including the World Cup. However, he is also known as a loving husband to wife Antonela Roccuzzo and proud father of three young boys.
The Argentine is seen spending time with his family and is known to be devoted to his wife for a long time. They have been close since childhood and have never really had any scandal in their relationship, a rare thing in soccer nowadays. But now, one such allegation has come out.
Who is Sofia Martinez?
According to a Brazilian media outlet named Direto Do Miolo, Lionel Messi has been facing a midlife crisis and had a secret affair with prominent Argentine journalist Sofia Martinez. It also reports that his current marriage with Antonela is on the verge of breaking. There were no reliable sources for this information, with some not even existing.
Sofia is an Argentine journalist who first came into the international spotlight when she interviewed Lionel Messi during the 2022 World Cup campaign. After beating Croatia 3-0 in the semi-finals, she delivered a passionate speech to Messi, thanking him for helping Argentina reach another World Cup final. She also later interviewed him again during the recent Ballon d’Or ceremony where he claimed his 8th historic award.
However, the alleged relationship has been denied by someone very close to the Messi clan. Daniella Semaan, who is the wife of Cesc Fabregas, is a close friend to Antonella. Both she and Cesc are great family friends of Leo and they often spend time together.
She commented on a post on Instagram, “What publication is this that has no meaning.. and has nothing right.” It is clear that there is no authentic evidence that Messi has been cheating on his partner, something which doesn’t even go in line with his character.

Judging by the English spoken by the security, it seems that they may still be in Miami, which is also a famous vacation spot. With no games in the foreseeable future, Messi and his family will enjoy their time together.
