In the summer of 2023, Lionel Messi made a major career decision by leaving European football to join Major League Soccer (MLS) with Inter Miami. His move to the United States brought excitement not only to the fans but also to his family.

Messi’s wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, recently spoke about the biggest surprise since they moved to Miami. While Messi has been busy leading his team to victory and adding the Leagues Cup and Supporters’ Shield to his long list of achievements, the family has been settling into their new life in Miami.

Antonela revealed that the warm weather and laid-back lifestyle in Miami have been a pleasant surprise for them. She shared how the sunny climate has been a big change from their life in Europe, making their transition easier and more enjoyable.

While Messi continues to make a strong impact on the field, chasing the MLS Cup with Inter Miami, his family is thriving off the field as well. They are loving the opportunities and experiences that come with living in Miami, which has been a welcome change for all of them.

For the Messi family, this move has not only been about football but also about embracing a new lifestyle in a vibrant and warm city. As Messi’s success continues, his family is making the most of their new adventure in the United States.

Antonela has told Haute Living: “What I love the most about Miami is the climate, the people, and the landscape. All this makes you feel like you’re living in perpetual summer.

“The biggest surprise for us was the warm welcome we received when we arrived. We knew it would be special, but it exceeded all our expectations.

“It has actually been very easy [adapting to life in Miami], and we’re all happy about it. Our main concern was that the kids might not like it or adjust well, but from day one, they adapted very well.”
