Lionel Messi’s wife parties with soccer WAGs in Miami
Lionel Messi’s wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, appears to be enjoying the Miami lifestyle.
The 35-year-old model and entrepreneur enjoyed a night out over the weekend at celebrity hotspot Papi Steak in Miami Beach, where she was joined by friends and fellow partners of soccer stars.
Roccuzzo shared a group photo on Instagram that featured Victoria Beckham, the wife of Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham; Elena Galera, the longtime partner of Inter Miami FC midfielder Sergio Busquets; Andrea Rajacic, the girlfriend of former Barcelona Thierry Henry; and Isabela Grutman, whose husband, hospitality guru Dave Grutman, co-owns the restaurant.
Roccuzzo and Beckham have been spending more time together since Messi, 36, signed with Inter Miami last month.
Roccuzzo and Galera have been close friends for some time, as their significant others spent 13 years playing together in Barcelona before Messi moved to Paris Saint-Germain in 2021.
“So nice to catch up finally,” Rajacic wrote in the comments, while Beckham added a bunch of pink heart emojis.
“Had so much fun with you girls,” Grutman wrote.
The group appeared to sip cocktails and enjoy a variety of desserts, according to the post.
They also likely enjoyed a VIP experience as the Grutmans are known to pull out all the stops for their celebrity friends and clientele.
Jake Paul dined at Papi Steak after the YouTuber-turned-pro boxer defeated Nate Diaz via unanimous decision Saturday, according to his Instagram Story.
Messi and Roccuzzo are acclimating well to their new chapter in Miami.
The soccer superstar is living up to expectations on the pitch, while Roccuzzo has been stealing the spotlight on her own.
After turning heads in a pink and white ensemble during Messi’s unveiling at DRV PNK Stadium on July 16, Roccuzzo was featured on the broadcast the next week when Inter Miami defeated Atlanta United, 4-0.
The South Florida crowd went wild as the brunette beauty cheered for Messi, pumping her arms in the air while waving a pink flag – a nod to the club’s colors.
Messi, a seven-time Ballon d’Or winner, shares three sons with Roccuzzo: Thiago (born in 2012), Mateo (born in 2015) and Ciro (born in 2018).
