Messi’s wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, is increasingly interacting with singer Shakira on social media after long-standing rumors that the two were in conflict.
Over the past year, Messi’s wife has frequently expressed her emotions and comments on the Colombian singer’s personal page. Most recently, when the 46-year-old singer posted a photo wearing a sexy blue dress at the MTV Awards last week, Antonela wrote below: “How beautiful” with a series of applause emojis. More than 12,000 people “liked” Messi’s wife’s comment. The mother of three also received positive responses when someone complimented her: “Just like you, Goddess.”

Earlier this year, when Shakira shared her story of broken love, Antonela showed sympathy for the heartbroken icons. Last summer, when Shakira’s father was seriously ill and hospitalized, Messi’s wife also cheered up the 11-year-old singer.
Marca commented that clearly there is a good friendship between Messi and Shakira’s wife, even more so now because they both live in Miami, United States.
In 2018, there were reports that the Colombian singer shouted at Messi’s wife during a barbecue at Messi’s house after a Barca match. An argument broke out and Piqué and Shakira left afterwards. Tensions between the two WAGs increased when Shakria was asked to leave the Barca stars’ wives chat group and was not allowed to go to the area where the WAGs were.
Neither Shakira nor Antonela confirmed any friction. At the 2017 wedding, Piqué and Shakira were invited to attend. When Barça won La Liga in 2019, the singer and Messi’s wife even took a selfie together.

Antonela Roccuzzo is a childhood friend of superstar Lionel Messi. The lovebirds were born in Rosario, grew up together, and were separated for a while before reuniting and dating in the late 2000s. Messi and his wife have three children. Meanwhile, Piqué and Shakira began dating at the 2010 World Cup, and a year later they fell in love publicly. The star couple had two children before splitting in the summer of 2022 amid rumors that Piqué was having an affair.
