Lionel Messi has suggested the possibility of expanding his family with his wife Antonella Roccuzzo, mentioning, “We’ll see if a baby girl joins us.” The couple, known for their family-oriented lifestyle, already has three sons together: Thiago, 10; Mateo, 7; and Ciro, 5. They are often spotted enjoying activities together, from shopping at local supermarkets to dining out and supporting Messi during his matches.
Asked if there is a possibility of a new addition to the family, Messi teased the arrival of a baby girl.
”We’re not trying, but I don’t know [if the factory has closed],’ he admitted. ‘We’ll see if a baby girl arrives,” Messi said in an interview with Argentinian comedian Migue Granados on OLGA.
Speaking on his eldest son Thiago following his footsteps after joining Inter Miami’s academy in August, Messi revealed that Thiago is more of a mama’s boy.
The Argentinean added that his three sons, all have very different personalities.
”They have different personalities,” Messi said. ”Thiago, when he comes on the field to play, he doesn’t look at you.”
”Mateo. He comes on, greets the crowd, and applauds. They’re different characters.”
Messi, however, claimed Ciro, his youngest, can’t be defined just yet as the youngster is still growing into himself.
”The youngest is terrible,” he joked. ”He’s only five years old, and he’s not yet defined.”
”Mateo you have to stop, he talks to you and doesn’t stop. Ciro is more reserved. He tells you things but not about himself, he talks about others.”
He added that Thiago is very close to his mom, saying: ”Thiago has trouble talking much, he’s glued to Antonela… Thiago is sensitive.”
Messi then went on to describe his wife as a ‘great mother’, showering praises on her for being dedicated to their three kids.
”She’s a great mother. The truth is, she is with them 24/7, and I’m away a lot. Sometimes I’m gone a month, month and a half, she’s there every day.”
Messi and Antonella met for the first time in the 90s while in their hometown, Rosario. At the time, the Argentine was just five years old when he met the love of his life.
