Diamond Platnumz laments that women nowadays only want to date and marry rich men and not to build wealth together like Lionel Messi and his wife Antonela Roccuzzo.
Messi and Roccuzzo have an interesting love story that defied money, time, distance, and all other obstacles that usually ruin relationships and marriages.
The Argentina striker and his wife are what many people would love to refer to as ‘a match made in heaven’.
Messi and Roccuzzo met in their hometown of Rosario, Argentina, as children.
The duo was separated as Messi moved to Spain to join Barcelona when he was a teenager.
In 2005, Roccuzzo’s best friend, Ursula Notz, died in a car accident. When Messi found out about the tragedy, he flew back to Argentina from Spain to comfort his future wife.
Long distance didn’t erode their love, pair fell deeply in love during their reunion in Argentina.
Roccuzzo went to university in Argentina. She obtained a bachelor’s degree in humanities and social sciences from the National University of Rosario and began postgraduate studies in dentistry. However, she decided to drop out to move closer to Messi.
Messi and Roccuzzo’s wedding was dubbed the ‘wedding of the century.’ Messi’s teammates were in attendance, along with Shakira and her then-partner Gerard Piqué. The wedding was held on June 30, 2017, at a casino in the couple’s hometown.
Messi and Roccuzzo welcomed their first son Thiago in 2012. Their second son, Mateo, was born in 2015 while their third son, Ciro, was born in 2018.
Roccuzzo has been extremely supportive of Messi’s career. The model regularly cheers her husband during football matches.
Drawing lessons from Messi and Roccuzzo’s love story, Diamond Platnumz asked women to emulate the duo instead of just chasing after rich men.
“Wanawake mnaona vile mtu hutoka mbali na mwenzake? Wakati anahustle. Lakini sasa nyinyi mnataka mwanaume ambaye ashakuwa na hela badala ukwame na wako umpe moyo hadi afike mbali kama hivi, mnaona mwenenu anavyo enjoy?” Diamond captioned a video of Messi and Roccuzzo he shared on InstaStories.
