Wants to have a fourth child
Aged 36, Messi does not rule out becoming a father for the fourth time, having already formed a family of five with Antonela.
“We would like to have another baby. We’re not actively trying to, but let’s see if the girl arrives,” he mentioned.
Messi also indicated that he considers himself a good father and has always sought to instill values in his children.
“I try to instill in my children the values that were taught to me when I was young,” he added.
“I am a good father because my parents were good parents. Following the values of where I grew up is also very important.”
Likewise, he acknowledged that Antonela has been a great mother and partner.
“I admire her,” Messi noted.
“She spends 24 hours a day with the kids. We are often away for a long time: trips, matches, preseason, national team. Sometimes we are gone for a month, a month and a half, and she is with the kids all day.
“Thiago likes to talk much more. Maybe with Antonela, he has more confidence to share things. She’s with all three of them all day. Mateo tells you everything, he talks non-stop. And Ciro is more reserved.”
The decision to move to Miami was also related to the place he chose for his children’s upbringing, with Messi revealing their daily routine.
“We wake up at 07:00 with the kids, have breakfast, and sometimes I take them to school and sometimes not,” he continued.
“Toast, chocolate milk [is what they eat]. I return home at 13:00 after training. Then we eat, take a nap [with Antonela]. Afterward, we pick up the kids, and it’s training again.”
