On February 26th, Antonela, the wife of football superstar Lionel Messi, celebrated her 36th birthday surrounded by loved ones. Recently, the first images of this event were shared by Messi himself on his personal social media account. The World Cup champion also took the opportunity to extend his warm wishes to his wife, affectionately referring to her as “princess.” The forward, currently playing for Inter Miami, wrote: “Happy birthday, my princess. I love you.”
It is highly likely that the celebration took place at the Messi residence in the United States. Observing the images, fans can see numerous balloons adorning the venue. Two characters from Disney animated films, Pocahontas and Cinderella, were also present, embellishing the surroundings on both sides.
On this birthday occasion, Antonela received numerous well-wishes from friends, family, and notable figures, including two prominent WAGs, Victoria Beckham and Sofia Balbi (wife of Luis Suarez). She joyfully shared these greetings on her social media story.
Messi and Antonela have known each other since they were just 6 years old. By 2006, they officially started dating, and have been together ever since. The couple now has three sons together: Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro. Last year, rumors surfaced suggesting marital difficulties, but both parties clarified, and their affectionate interactions have since disproven such claims.
This year marks Antonela’s first birthday celebration in the United States. In July 2023, Messi joined Inter Miami. On February 26th, Messi also took to the field, scoring a goal in a 1-1 draw against LA Galaxy.
