The incident occurred in Miami, United States, where the 32-year-old was driving when she reportedly lost control of her vehicle and crashed into a wall.

The accident left Maria Sol Messi with multiple injuries, including spinal fractures and burns, prompting an immediate halt to preparations for her upcoming wedding.

Argentinian television journalist Ángel de Brito confirmed the development on the entertainment programme LAM, saying Maria Sol Messi is now out of danger but faces a lengthy period of recovery and rehabilitation.

The journalist said the wedding, scheduled to take place on January 3 in Rosario, Argentina, has been postponed on medical advice, as her injuries require careful and sustained treatment.

According to information shared by the family, Maria Sol Messi suffered fractures to two vertebrae, her heel and her wrist, alongside burn injuries.

Her mother, Celia Cuccittini, confirmed that she fainted while driving, leading to the crash.

Maria Sol Messi has since returned to Rosario, her hometown, where she has begun rehabilitation under medical supervision.

While her condition is described as stable, doctors have advised against travel or major physical strain in the near term.

She was due to marry Julián “Tuli” Arellano, a member of Inter Miami’s under-19 coaching staff, in a ceremony expected to draw close family members, including Lionel Messi and his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo.

A fashion designer and entrepreneur, Maria Sol Messi has largely kept out of the public spotlight.

She previously worked as brand manager for The Messi Store and has pursued independent creative projects in Argentina and Europe.
