How Many Kids Does Lionel Messi Have?

Thiago Messi Roccuzzo

Thiago Messi Roccuzzo was born on 2 Nov., 2012, and is Messi and Roccuzzo's eldest child. To commemorate the birth of his firstborn son, Messi got Thiago's handprints and name tattooed on his left calf, which also happens to be his dominant leg. Thiago isn't only his father's biggest fan (and sometimes critic) but is also shaping up to be an educated and talented football star himself: "Thiago follows football every time, he loves it and knows everything about it," Messi told Mundo Deportivo. Messi went on to share that his oldest tags along to his trainings and games, and is always asking questions "not just about Barca, but other teams and matches as well."

Mateo Messi Roccuzzo

Born on 11 Sept., 2015, Mateo Messi Roccuzzo is the middle brother in the Messi-Roccuzzo clan and the couple's second child. According to Messi, he is the jokester of the group and never passes up an opportunity to tease his dad or brothers, including by cheering for the opposing team. And while he may love to give his dad a hard time — especially when it comes to losing a game — Messi shared in a 2019 interview that Mateo is a softie at heart: "Mateo is very special. He's always doing new things, things that grab your attention."

Ciro Messi Roccuzzo

Messi and Roccuzzo welcomed their third baby boy, Ciro Messi Roccuzzo, on 10 March, 2018. It's a bit early to tell whether or not he will take after his father's football skills; however, one thing we are certain about is how much he looks like his papa! Just like his older brothers, Ciro's name can be found inked on both his parents: his name and birthdate on Messi's leg and his name in cursive on Roccuzzo's outer forearm.
