Lionel Messi has married his childhood sweetheart, Antonella Roccuzzo, in a lavish wedding in their hometown of Rosario, Argentina on Friday.
The soccer superstar’s wedding was quite the star-studded affair with a 250-plus guest list. The lavish event even had a red carpet.
Leo, who is from Argentina, moved to Spain at the age of 13 to further his soccer training and is known for his skills playing on the Spanish team, but the sports star went back to his Argentinian roots for his wedding.
The blushing bride and groom, who met when they were 5 years old, stopped and took several pics after their ceremony. The two couldn’t keep their hands off of each other after saying, “I do.”
Antonella wore a strapless gown with a long train and had her hair styled in lush, bouncy waves. Leo opted for a navy suit, scruff and a white tie.
