Tony Romo, former Dallas Cowboys quarterback, and his wife Candice Howard were spotted at the latest Inter Miami match to see Lionel Messi in action.

The Argentinian star, who signed with Miami on a $54 million deal, scored twice and nailed one of Miami's five penalty kicks in the win. He also assisted what ended up being an own goal by FC Dallas.

Romo is just the latest star to come out and watch Messi play. Since joining Inter Miami, the former PSG standout has attracted LeBron James, Derek Jeter, Kim Kardashian and other superstars to the stadium.


Who is Tony Romo's wife, Candice Howard?

Romo has been married to his wife, Candice Howard, for a long time now. They began dating in 2009 and were married in 2011. They're still going strong today.

Romo shared the secret to their long and successful relationship in an interview with PEOPLE in 2012:

"If you get a great wife who understands the demands of someone in athletics, I think that's important. I was lucky enough to find someone like that. She's a great mom and a great wife."

They have three children together, too.

"It's like she's really sacrificed the time for me to be able to live out my dreams and to support me in that and to help me achieve it. And I think that that's a whole other level."
