It comes days after the kiss scam scandal involving married Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR head Kristin Cabot.
Their ducking reaction to being filmed at Boston's gig has caught the world's attention - with millions now talking about an alleged affair.
And while many might seize the opportunity for a public smooch, Messi seemed to go bright red given the circumstances.
Footage circulating on social media showed the Inter Miami star smiling sheepishly, while Antonela, ever graceful, beamed beside him.
With everyone in the crowd cheering "Messi", the couple waved to fans before Coldplay's lead singer Chris Martin serenaded them.
Martin, who had jokingly called out Byron and Caobt's potential 'affair' during his performance last week, thanked Messi for coming and called him "the No1 sports person of all-time".
And it didn't take long for fans online to see the funny side.
One wrote: "They should have tried to hide for a second. That would be hilarious."

While another said: "They were just singing and not dodging any Cam scandals."
A third said: 'Jumbotron with Lionel Messi! (He didn't hide, though).'

Although not spotted in the viral clip, Antonela later posted snaps of the couple's three sons enjoying the show at the Hard Rock Stadium.
Thiago, 12, was pictured wearing a Coldplay cap, while Mateo, nine, wore a snazzy pair of 3D glasses as Ciro, six, cuddled into his dad.
Meanwhile, Messi was serving a one-match suspension for Inter Miami's game against FC Cincinnati on Saturday.
The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner and fellow Barcelona legend Jordi Alba were punished for skipping Major League Soccer's All-Star game earlier this week.
Both players missed Wednesday's match in Austin, Texas where the MLS squad posted a 3-1 win against Mexico's Liga MX All-Stars.
Elsewhere, Humiliated Byron and Cabot quit their jobs at the tech company as a result of the scandal.
And Martin's ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow was hired by Astronomer for a tongue-in-cheek video, in what fans are describing as a genius PR move.
