Lionel Messi is making the most of the summer with his dazzling wife, Antonela. The couple was seen posing for photos with their three children, Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro, while enjoying a luxurious yacht.
The 37-year-old footballer wore a pair of black swim trunks while embracing his young family. Antonela stunned in a pink floral bikini, while the footballer’s children sported colorful swim shorts.
“Summer and them,” they wrote in the post, shared jointly by the couple on Instagram.
“Beautiful family,” commented one fan. Another added, “So lovely!” while hundreds more left heart emojis.
The Inter Miami star is currently on the bench after injuring his ankle ligaments during the Copa America final earlier this summer.
Argentina defeated Colombia in the final thanks to an extra-time goal from Lautaro Martínez. However, Messi was substituted in the second half of regulation time after suffering a severe ankle injury.
The Argentine captain was injured in the 64th minute and required prolonged treatment, immediately heading to the bench before shedding tears as he left the field in pain.
He did not join his teammates when they returned to a jubilant Buenos Aires, where fans flooded the streets to celebrate in wild scenes. But the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner took to social media to insist he was “fine” and thanked fans for their support.
“The Copa America is over, and the first thing I want to do is thank everyone for the messages and greetings,” he said in a statement.
“I am fine, thank God, and I hope to be back on the field soon enjoying what I love most. I am happy, very happy, especially because we achieved our goal and Fide (Ángel Di María) leaves us with another Cup.”
Messi is now looking to defend Inter Miami’s Leagues Cup title and is expected to be available to support his team when they face the Columbus Crew in the round of 16 on Tuesday.
