All-Star Athletes Who Are All-Star Dads

Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi is one of the most notable players of FC Barcelona. There's no slowing him down! Even in the offseason, he's seen out with his kids taking hikes, going to water parks and amusement parks, and, of course, playing soccer. He has three kids with Antonella Roccuzzo: eight-year-old Thiago, five-year-old Mateo, and two-year-old Ciro. 

They're Doing Their Best!

Messi has a pretty funny sense of humor when it comes to his kids. He's joked about their futures in soccer, saying that Mateo is "terrible" at the sport while his brother, Thiago, is "pretty good." The Lionel Messi Foundation also does some great work for kids across the globe, including implementing classrooms in Syria.
