Argentine singer and actress Tini Stoessel recently released the music video for her song "Dos Amantes" alongside Ulises Bueno. In the video, the appearances of Rodrigo De Paul and Lionel Messi are mainly connected to the artist's close personal circle, as well as to the concept behind the project, which aims to bring figures from her private life and the broader Argentine cultural environment into the visual narrative.

Messi and De Paul take center stage

One of the most talked-about appearances is that of Rodrigo De Paul, Inter Miami CF midfielder and Stoessel's partner. Their relationship has gone through different stages since they began dating in 2021, including a breakup in 2023 and a reconciliation in 2025, keeping their story constantly in the public eye. His presence in the video is understood within that personal closeness, linking the project both to the world of soccer and to the singer's immediate circle.

Lionel Messi also appears in the video. The player shares a close friendship with Rodrigo De Paul, as they play together and have also shared various moments within the same social environment as Tini Stoessel, which helps explain his inclusion in the project.

Is this the first time Messi appears in a music video?

No, Messi has previously been featured in music videos. One earlier example is "Fútbol y Rumba," a collaboration between Anuel AA and Enrique Iglesias, where his appearance was brief but noticeable. In "Dos Amantes," however, his presence feels more naturally integrated into the overall atmosphere of the video, adding weight to the visual narrative due to his global relevance in soccer.

Regarding the absence of Antonela Roccuzzo, Lionel Messi's wife, from the video, it is not interpreted as an isolated detail within the environment surrounding Inter Miami CF. In several of the club's matches, she has been seen interacting and sharing moments with Tini, reflecting a close social connection within the same circle, even if she is not part of the project itself.

Overall, the video ultimately highlights how these relationships naturally intersect, reinforcing the idea that the ties between Tini, Rodrigo De Paul, and Lionel Messi are not coincidental or merely media-driven, but part of a shared personal environment.
