Messi’s beloved pet dog, Hulk, who was gifted to him by his wife Antonela, is the most cherished member of their family. As Messi returns home with joy and anticipation for the upcoming World Cup in Qatar, he will certainly embrace his loyal furry friend, who has been a constant source of comfort and companionship for six years.
Lionel Messi’s better half, Antonela Roccuzzo, has been by his side since before he became a household name. Together, they have three beautiful children named Mateo Messi, Ciro Messi, and Thiago Messi. However, their family doesn’t just consist of humans – they also have a furry member named Hulk, who happens to be a Dogue de Bordeaux breed weighing over 50 kilos. This pupper is cherished by the whole family and is considered Messi’s closest friend, gifted to him by Antonela a few years ago. Not only did she bless Messi with three healthy kids, but also with a new loyal companion to adore.
Antonela, Messi’s wife, gifted him a dog named Hulk who is now the most pampered member of their family. This furry addition made his debut on the athlete’s Instagram account in January 2016, with Hulk’s stunning emerald eyes and chubby physique being captured in the post. Messi was seen holding him affectionately and thanking his wife for the thoughtful present. The six-year-old dog is aptly named as he is quite large and appears to be powerful, necessitating an appropriate diet and exercise regimen. However, there were concerns amongst Messi and his family leading up to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, as Hulk had to stay behind in Barcelona for veterinary care instead of flying with them.
