In Early September, Gomez was spotted attending one of Messi’s games. She stopped by the BMO Stadium and watched the Los Angeles FC play against Inter Miami. She was joined by her sister Gracie and was sitting next to Xolo Maridueña. As she watched the game, her reaction to a Messi shot was captured on camera, and quickly became a viral meme.
