Lionel Messi is not only smiling because of what happens on the field, not it is reported that the Argentinian could become a father for the second time. La Pulga confirmed the news with a post on social media this Thursday morning.
Messi had posted a picture on Instagram saying that him and his partner Antonella Roccuzzo, 27, were already expecting another addition to the family. The name has already been decided and it would be Benjamin. It is said that the Argentinian model has been pregnant for three months.
The couple, which has not been married, already has one child. Thiago, who was born in November 2012. The boy already seems excited to meet his brother. In the picture that Messi posted, Thiago is kissing Antonella’s belly, where Benjamin is starting to grow.

Now fans can look forward to having two more Messi’s running around in a short period of time. Only time will tell if they inherit his ability to play soccer and if they can match up to the talent their dad is showcasing week after week.
The 27-year-old father is currently second in the goal-scoring table with 38. The Argentinian star is only one goal behind Cristiano Ronaldo (39), and could catch up soon if CR7’s scoring drought continues.
