Maria Sol Messi, sister of Argentina international and Inter Miami star Lionel, was due to marry Inter Miami youth coach Julian Arellano, but the wedding has reportedly been postponed.
Lionel Messi’s sister reportedly had to call off her wedding to Inter Miami’s coaching staff next month after she was involved in a serious car accident. Maria Sol Messi is said to have suffered injuries including a fractured vertebrae and burns in the accident.
Argentine television journalist and presenter Ángel de Brito said the soccer player’s mother told him the 32-year-old was “out of danger” but would need long-term rehabilitation. She lost control and crashed into a wall in Miami, causing the car she was driving to crash.
Appearing on the American TV program LAM, Ángel said while reading a message on his mobile phone: “Messi’s sister is okay, she is out of danger, but we were checking with her family about the situation, because she is planning a wedding in Rosario, Argentina, on January 3rd, and we have to suspend the wedding.”
“She suffered burns, but burns, like misaligned vertebrae, are very difficult to treat. She has already started her rehabilitation in Rosario.
“When I received the information, I asked her mother, Celia Cuccitini, and she said that it was true, but that Maria Sol was fine. She had two broken vertebrae, and also a broken heel and wrist. The wedding will be postponed. Celia told me that she fainted and hit a wall.”

In Argentina, it was reported that she was driving a pickup truck, and after contacting her family, Angel initially said she thought the burns were caused by falling off a motorcycle, but that has not been confirmed. Maria Sol was scheduled to marry Julian “Turi” Arellano, a member of Inter Miami’s U-19 coaching staff, on January 3 in her hometown of Rosario.
Her famous younger brother also celebrated his wedding with Antonella Roccuzzo in the Argentine city. The entire Messi family was scheduled to attend, including the Inter Miami and former Barcelona star. Like Lionel and his wife, Maria Sol and her boyfriend met at an early age as they grew up in the same area.
The clothing designer and entrepreneur has always kept a low profile. She lived in Spain for a while before returning to Argentina to develop her own projects.
One of her first roles was working as a brand manager at her brother’s clothing brand, Messi Store, alongside Virginia Hilfiger, sister of famous designer Tommy Hilfiger.
