A soccer superstar has come to the shores of the U.S., but all eyes were on his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, who has become famous in her own right. But as she played the role of adoring spouse when Messi was finally unveiled as an Inter Miami player over the weekend, it has not always been easy for the couple who now share three sons together: Thiago, Matteo and Ciro. The pair met when they were about the age of five back in Argentina. Messi was the childhood friend of Roccuzzo's cousin Lucas Scagilia.'Antonela, my cousin' was Scagilia's reply.
