Meet World Cup WAGs: Antonela Roccuzzo, Georgina Rodríguez and More

Meet the WAGs of the World Cup: Antonela Roccuzzo, Georgina Rodríguez and More

The WAGs of the 2026 World Cup are kicking things up a notch.

With this year’s soccer tournament having kicked off across the United States, Canada and Mexico on June 11, the eyes aren’t just on the players, but also on their wives and girlfriends. A.k.a., the WAGs. While Victoria Beckham once reigned supreme as the queen of the group, there are plenty of new partners who are enjoying the spotlight in the years since David Beckham retired from the pitch.

Take for instance Antonela Roccuzzo, the wife of Team Argentina’s superstar Lionel Messi. She and Messi met in their home country when they were just kids, soon becoming childhood sweethearts and confirming their romance in 2009. The two tied the knot in 2017 and are parents to sons Thiago, 13, Mateo, 10, and Ciro, 8.

And while Roccuzzo has been there for Messi during every step of his illustrious career, the soccer star finds himself enthralled by his longtime love.

"She has many good qualities," he shared with Marca in 2019. "How she gets by on a daily basis, her personality, she is always in a good mood and she always faces up to problems in an admirable way. She is a very intelligent person who is great in all aspects of life."

And of course, no list of WAGs would be complete without Georgina Rodríguez, the fiancée of Team Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo. The two met in 2016 while Rodríguez was working at a Gucci store in Madrid and went public with their romance in January 2017.

The couple—who share twins Eva Maria and Mateo, 8, and daughters Alana, 7, and Bella, 3—proved they are truly couple goals in August when Ronaldo proposed to Rodríguez with a massive diamond ring.

“Yes, I do,” Rodríguez wrote on Instagram at the time, translated from Spanish. “In this and all my lives.”

Joining Roccuzzo and Rodríguez is Bruna Biancardi, a Brazilian model and influencer and girlfriend of Team Brazil’s Neymar. After some ups and downs, the two officially reconciled in 2024. They share daughters Mavie, 2, and Mel, 11 months.

And of course there’s Isabel Haugseng Johansen, who also went from childhood sweetheart to WAG alongside boyfriend and Team Norway star Erling Haaland. The two met as children when they played in the same soccer youth academy in their home country. She later joined him when he moved to England to play for Manchester City and they welcomed a son in December 2024.
