Rodrigo Messi, Matías Messi, and María Sol Messi are the three siblings of Argentine football legend Lionel Messi. Lionel is the third of four children born to Jorge Messi (who passed away in August 2026) and Celia Cuccittini.

The family grew up in the La Bajada neighborhood of Rosario, Argentina. The siblings have remained close throughout Lionel’s career, with each playing supporting roles in his professional and personal life while largely staying out of the intense public spotlight.

Rodrigo Messi

Rodrigo is the oldest sibling (born on February 10, 1980, 46 years old). He played a key supportive role during Lionel’s early years in Spain, helping ease the transition when the family moved to Barcelona.

Rodrigo has long been involved in managing aspects of Lionel’s career and business affairs. He works with Leo Messi Management (previously alongside their father Jorge), handling scheduling, publicity, and other professional responsibilities.

He is married to Flor Parisi and has three children:

• Agustín
• Morena
• Benjamín

Matías Messi

Matías is the second-oldest sibling (born on July 15, 1982, 44 years old). He has maintained strong ties to Rosario and local football. In recent years, he has focused on sports management and youth development, including founding or leading Leones FC, a club in the Rosario area affiliated with the AFA that emphasizes junior player development.

Matías also plays an operational role with the Leo Messi Foundation (supporting health, education, and sports programs for children) and manages various family business and property interests in Argentina.

He is married to Rosana Vallejos and has two children,

• Tomás
• Luana

María Sol Messi

María Sol is the youngest sibling and the only sister (born on November 30, 1993, 32 years old). She was about five years old when Lionel left for Spain. María Sol has built a career in fashion, branding, and creative production.

She previously held a leadership role with The Messi Store (Lionel’s official clothing line) and later joined 525 Rosario, her brother’s production company. She has kept a relatively low public profile.

María Sol has been engaged since January 2024 to her childhood friend Julián “Tuli” Arellano (an Inter Miami youth coach).

The Messi siblings share a tight-knit family bond rooted in their Rosario upbringing. While Lionel became a global icon, Rodrigo, Matías, and María Sol have supported him through management, foundation work, branding, and personal loyalty, helping manage the demands of his fame while pursuing their own paths.
