Lionel Messi has suggested he and his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, could try for another child.
Messi, 36, is known as a family man and he and his beautiful wife Antonela, also 36, share three sons together: Thiago, 10, Mateo, 7, and Ciro, 5.
The Argentinian family have been spotted visiting the local supermarket, dining out and cheering on their father during his matches since the World Cup winner made the move to the United States to join David Beckham’s Inter Miami.
However, the family of five could step up as six in the future as the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner refused to rule out the possibility of another little one joining the Messi clan.
The football superstar was asked if he and Antonela, a model and influencer, would consider having another baby with Argentinian comedian Migue Granados during a interview on OLGA.

And Messi, who welcomed Granados to his Miami home to film the segment, teased the arrival of a girl.
“We’re not trying, but I don’t know if the factory is closed,” he admitted. “We’ll see if a girl comes.”
Messi’s eldest son Thiago is already following in his father’s footsteps after joining Inter Miami’s academy in August.
But Messi revealed that Thiago is more of a mama’s boy as he said his three sons all have very different personalities.
“They have different personalities,” Messi said. “Thiago, when he comes onto the field to play, he doesn’t look at you.”
‘Mateo. He stands up, he greets the crowd, he applauds. They’re different characters.’
Meanwhile, he claimed that Ciro, his youngest, is somewhat of an unknown as the youngster is still growing into himself.
“The youngest one is terrible,” he joked. “He’s only five years old and he hasn’t been defined yet.”

Messi added: “Mateo, you have to stop, he talks to you and doesn’t stop. Ciro is more reserved. He tells you things, but not about himself, he talks about others.’
He added that Thiago has a very good relationship with his mother, saying: “Thiago has difficulty speaking, he is attached to Antonela… Thiago is sensitive.”
Messi then praised his wife, calling her a devoted mother to their three children.
‘She’s a great mother. The truth is, she’s with them 24/7, and I’m gone a lot. Sometimes I’m away for a month or a month and a half, she’s there every day.’
Messi and Antonela first met in the 1990s in their hometown of Rosario. The Argentinian was only five years old when he met the love of his life.
Antonela was the cousin of Messi’s childhood friend Lucas Scaglia. The two lovebirds ended up spending a significant amount of time together when they were young.
Messi and Antonela’s relationship blossomed during their younger years and the pair stayed in touch when the number 10 left for Barcelona at the age of 13. In 2008, Messi and Antonela made their relationship public.
Messi and Antonela welcomed their first son Thiago in 2012, before having two more sons Mateo (2015) and Ciro (2018).

The couple married in 2017 during a lavish wedding at a luxury hotel in the heart of Rosario.
She is a big supporter of her husband and can often be seen cheering him on from the stands during his matches.
Since arriving in South Florida, the couple has been soaking up Miami’s social scene, dining out with David and Victoria Beckham and close friends Messi’s teammate Sergio Busquets and his partner Elena Galera.
The young family recently purchased a sprawling new $10.75 million estate in Fort Lauderdale with 10 bedrooms, a spa room, two boat docks and a swimming pool.

The Argentine superstar – who signed a two-and-a-half-year contract worth $50-60 million per season – has been looking to expand his property portfolio since joining Inter Miami this summer.
He already owned a $9 million luxury condo in Miami — and now has two other condos in Sunny Isles Beach, according to reports — but was recently spotted house hunting in the Boca Raton area with Antonela and Thiago.
But Messi signed last week for a new 10,500-square-foot building within the gated community of Bay Colony, one of the floating neighborhoods north of Fort Lauderdale.
The beautiful house is located near the beach, just a 15-minute drive from the DRV PNK Stadium and training base in Miami. Sergio Busquets isn’t far away either – the midfielder, who followed Messi to South Florida, is said to have recently paid around $9 million for a waterfront home in Sea Ranch Lakes.
