Messi is a devoted family man and the father of 3 boys, and did you know that two of them are already following in his footsteps, training at football academies to carry on his incredible legacy. And let me tell you, these little guys have been stealing the show on social media with their adorable photos and videos for years and already have their own fan followings.
How adorable is that?
Messi and his wife, Antonella Roccuzzo, named their sons Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro. Thiago, the oldest, was born in November 2012, Mateo was born in September 2015, and Ciro blessed their lives in March 2018.
Messi has been particular to involve himself as much as possible in bringing his kids up as a hands-on dad and has been spotted taking Thiago to school every morning and picking him up as well.
He said in an interview that a typical day for him involves taking Thiago to school, going to training, hanging out at home drinking maté and spending time with his family at the park or somewhere, which, in a nutshell, is a normal, calm kind of life he and his wife have always wanted.
