The reports were fueled more by Quem, who claims that their 15-year marriage is at risk because of Argentinian sports journalist Sofía Martinez. Interestingly, a montage of videos is being circulated that shows Messi and Sofia exchanging flirtatious glances. These instances were also witnessed during the final World Cup and the recent Ballon d’Or event, while the player was giving an interview to the journalist.
This rumored flirting has allegedly made Roccuzzo jealous. However, these reports have rather been branded false by the community post of X. The news from the Argentine press has been claimed to be unverified, which supports the evidence for this alleged betrayal. In fact, the busting of fake news doesn’t end here, as earlier, Sofi herself rejected these claims.
