Rumors of Lionel Messi Cheating: Nothing More Than Lies?

Lionel Messi and his wife, Antonella Rocuzzo, have become one of the most adored famous couples, thanks to their long-lasting relationship (they were childhood sweethearts, a rarity in celebritydom) and the affectionate photos they frequently post on social media. However, recent leaks on social networks have stirred questions about their past. But how serious should we take these rumors? Let’s examine some of the most notorious gossip about the legendary footballer. 

The Blonde Woman in Vegas

Photos emerged suggesting Messi may have been unfaithful to the mother of his three children, surprising many of his devoted fans. In 2013, leaked images showed what appeared to be Messi with a woman in a highly compromising position during a celebration in Las Vegas reportedly attended by Cristiano Ronaldo. The photos allegedly showed Messi getting pretty cozy with a blonde Slavic model. However, many immediately noticed that this guy was missing Messi’s distinctive tattoos. Sure enough, the rumors were eventually debunked when it was confirmed that the person in the photos was not Messi but a lookalike.
