Wednesday, December 24, 2025 - Maria Sol Messi, the sister of football icon Lionel Messi, has reportedly been rushed to hospital following a serious car accident, forcing the postponement of her planned wedding.
According to reports from Argentina, the 32-year-old
sustained multiple injuries in the crash, including spinal fractures and burns.
The accident occurred in Miami after she reportedly lost control of her vehicle
and hit a wall.
Argentinian television journalist Angel de Brito provided
updates on her condition, confirming that Maria Sol is now out of danger but
will require a lengthy period of rehabilitation.
“Messi’s sister is okay, she’s out of danger, but I checked
with the family because she was supposed to get married in Rosario, Argentina,
on January 3, and the wedding has had to be suspended,” de Brito said while
speaking on the US television programme LAM.
He added that the injuries include burns and displaced
vertebrae, noting that recovery from such conditions can be slow. Maria Sol has
since returned to her hometown of Rosario, where she has begun her
rehabilitation.
Further details were shared by her mother, Celia Cuccittini,
who confirmed that Maria Sol suffered two fractured vertebrae, as well as
fractures to her heel and wrist. The crash reportedly occurred after she
fainted while driving, causing her to hit a wall.
While there have been differing accounts about the exact
circumstances of the accident, the family has confirmed that the injuries are
serious but not life-threatening. As a result, her wedding to Julian “Tuli”
Arellano, a member of Inter Miami’s under-19 coaching staff, has been
postponed.
Maria Sol, a fashion designer and entrepreneur, has largely
stayed out of the public eye. She previously worked as a brand manager at The
Messi Store, the clothing brand founded by her brother, alongside Virginia
Hilfiger, sister of fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger
The Messi family had been preparing to gather in Rosario for
the wedding before the accident forced a change of plans.
