Just one kiss, one serenade — and one unspoken message from Messi that may have just humbled Silicon Valley’s biggest ego

Coldplay’s kiss cam strikes again!

This time, professional soccer star Lionel Messi, 38, and his wife Antonela Roccuzzo, 37, got the spotlight at the final U.S. show of Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens on Sunday, July 27.

“Well, Lio, my beautiful brother, you and your wife are looking so fine. Thanks for coming today to see our band play, the No. 1 sportsperson of all time,” frontman Chris Martin, 48, sang to the couple.

The couple, who have been married since 2017, attended the show with their three kids and documented the night out in a joint Instagram post. “Coldplay 💫,” the simple caption read.

One photo showed the couple posing in a VIP area with the packed stadium in the background, as well as a similar shot with their sons. The last photo was a close-up selfie of the pair smiling.

When fans spotted the Argentinian World Cup champion, the crowd erupted, chanting “Messi! Messi!”

Coldplay’s kiss cam was notably at the center of controversy earlier this month when it caught Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the company’s HR executive Kristin Cabot embracing at their Gillette Stadium concert in Foxboro, Mass., on July 16.

In a now-viral TikTok, the pair ducked and hid their faces, prompting Martin to joke that the two were having an affair. “Oh, look at these two! All right, c’mon, you’re okay,” he said, before adding, “Oh, what? Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”

Both Byron and Cabot have since resigned from Astronomer.
