Football fans can be very inquisitive such that they ask seemingly funny questions about their favourite celebrities in a bid to prey into the private lives. One of such questions is whether Lionel Messi is gay or not. The sexuality of the Argentine captain has never been in doubt especially for those who has known the footballer for long and he has never shown signs of being gay but that has not stopped people from posing the question: “Is Lionel Messi gay?”
Is Lionel Messi gay?
Lionel Messi is not gay. His sexual orientation has always been straight since he he was a teenager. There has been no news of him being interested in men or him being bisexual. Messi is straight and he is married to his long time childhood lover, Antonella Roccuzzo. They have been married for 6 years.
“My wife, Antonela, has lots of great qualities,” Messi once told FC Barcelona. “I really admire how she deals with the day to day, she is always in a good mood and she approaches problems admirably. She is highly intelligent and well rounded in all aspects of life.”
The Inter Miami striker has been married to his wife since June 2017. They got married in their hometown of Rosario with Shakira and her then-partner Gerard Piqué in attendance as well as other invited footballers and personalities. Cristiano Ronaldo was not present in case you are wondering.
Messi dated Antonella Roccuzzo, his current wife, for a long time. After being together for almost ten years, they decide to be married. Messi was rumoured to be dating Macarena Lemos before to meeting Antonella. Lemos is a model from Argentina. They went on numerous dates together. There are rumours that Messi was romantically involved with Luciana Salazar, another Argentine model.
Lionel Messi children
The couple welcomed their first child, Thiago, in 2012. Mateo, their third son, was born in 2018, and Ciro, their second son, was born in 2015.
Messi said of becoming a father, “You grow and you learn,” to FC Barcelona. “Off the pitch and on, you gain experience in all facets of life. Having three kids, however, altered my outlook on life and my way of thinking while also fostering my growth as a person.
Even though there aren’t many leisure periods at home with three kids, he continued, “We try to enjoy every minute with them, whether it’s watching TV, playing, or doing anything else. We prefer to spend these moments at home.
Lionel Messi has always been family oriented and he puts his family first in most of his career decisions.
Lionel Messi gay rumours are unfounded given that the football star is married with three kids and has shown no sign of being attracted to males romantically.
