Messi and Roccuzzo have known each other for most of their lives, with both of them born in the town of Rosario, Argentina. “I can’t remember if I was 6 or 7 years old, but I was very little, and I became friends with Lucas, who’s Anto’s cousin, and he’s been one of my lifelong best friends,” said Messi in the show “Dispuestos a Todo.”
“I used to go to her house, and there I met her when we were very little. I always liked her.”

We got close again because we hadn’t lost that feeling that we had when we were kids. We hadn’t changed at all. We became a couple when we were 19 or 20.”
The two married in Rosario, at the City Center hotel, in a ceremony attended by 260 people, including soccer stars like Gerard Piqué and his then partner Shakira, Dani Alves, Carles Puyol, and more.
