Argentine journalist Sofi Martinez is speaking out after rumors of an affair between her and Lionel Messi surfaced online. The sports presenter, known for her emotional and viral interview with Messi after Argentina’s World Cup victory in Qatar, took to social media to clear the air once and for all.
Responding to speculation that circulated on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, Martinez denied any inappropriate relationship with the legendary footballer calling the rumors "ridiculous".
The whispers began after footage of the post-match interview went viral, showing an emotional Martinez thanking Messi for everything he had done for Argentina. Fans misinterpreted their warm interaction, with some pointing to her admiration as evidence of something more than professional admiration.
Messi himself, known for his private life with wife Antonela Roccuzzo and their three children, has not commented on the rumors. The couple remains one of football’s most beloved pairs, with Antonela frequently sharing sweet family moments on her own social media accounts.
