Even Lionel Messi's wife isn't immune to awkward encounters. Antonela Roccuzzo experienced a meme-worthy moment at a Miami padel court when an Israeli influencer, known for asking strangers about their luxury watches, stopped her, filmed her, and casually asked, "What do you do?" It seems not everyone is aware of the woman who rules the household of the legendary number 10.
The central figure in this story is Ziv Tamir, also known on social media as "the watch guy." His life's mission is to interview people with expensive watches, asking about their cost and occupation. However, this time, he unknowingly approached one of the most famous women on the planet. Antonela, showcasing her usual elegance, was leaving a padel match with friends when the Israeli approached her with a camera in hand.
Antonela gracefully answered when questioned about her watch. The accessory, a yellow gold Tiffany Rope adorned with diamonds, ranges between $25,000 and $35,000, depending on the model. A little luxury that few can wear so effortlessly. Everything was going smoothly until the trick question came: "What do you do?" At that moment, the Argentine was taken aback, glanced at her friend, and muttered, "Really?"—a response that needed no translation.
Rather than getting upset, Antonela resorted to her best tactic: a diplomatic smile and a thumbs-up gesture. The video ended there, but the awkwardness was palpable. Within hours, the clip went viral, and comments flooded in: "Not recognizing Antonela should be illegal!" one exclaimed. Another summed up everyone's thoughts: "Dude, you just asked Messi's wife what she does for a living."
The truth is, Antonela has been building her own name beyond Messi for years. As a businesswoman, model, influencer, and mother of three, she juggles life between fashion events, major brand campaigns, and public appearances alongside the Argentine star. Yet, it seems some still live under a rock—or are too focused on watches to notice faces.
Recognition or not, Antonela once again demonstrated her hallmark traits: elegance, poise, and a patience worthy of gold—or Tiffany. While the influencer continues to rack up views, she continues to shine with that impeccable style that neither needs introduction nor answers questions… because we all already know exactly who she is.
