Lionel Messi Expresses Desire to Have a Daughter with Wife Antonela Roccuzzo

Argentine soccer star Lionel Messi has acknowledged his desire to welcome a daughter with his wife Antonela Roccuzzo, even though the couple is currently not actively attempting to expand their family.

Messi, who tied the knot with Roccuzzo in 2017 after first meeting as children at the age of five, already shares three sons with his childhood sweetheart: Thiago, aged 11, Mateo, aged 8, and Ciro, aged 6.

In September, the former Barcelona star hinted that they might consider having a fourth child after expressing his desire to have a daughter.

In a recent interview with ESPN Argentina discussing the possibility of expanding their family, Messi remarked, “I would love to have a daughter, but at the moment, we’re not actively trying. There’s nothing definite at this point.”

Messi, who serves as a forward and captain for both Major League Soccer club Inter Miami and the Argentina national team, is universally acclaimed as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport.
