To know more, we have to go back to 2018 when the two first met. As per People Magazine, the two met at a dinner in New York City thanks to mutual friends. The pair quickly became friends and started the journey towards building a relationship.
They both spoke French, loved football (soccer), and had hopes of starting a family together. The two “Facetime-d” each other daily before eventually deciding to start a relationship.
Two years later, they welcomed their first kid, Arthur Elijah De Paula Embiid. But who exactly is the not-so-mysterious woman?
Joel Embiid girlfriend: Who is Anne De Paula?
If you take a look at her Instagram, you will see that Anne De Paula is a swimsuit model from Brazil. She even featured on Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Cover.
Paula was born in Brazil in 1995 to an x-ray technician mother and a doctor father. She has said that she would have gone into the medical field if it wasn’t for her modeling career taking off.
Anne grew up playing football (soccer) and was a goalkeeper for 6 years. We guess Joel finally got himself a “keeper”. She hasn’t played since and has been a swimsuit model with Sports Illustrated for a while. She has been a part of 4 annual issues.
Joel Embiid and Anne De Paula have been together for half a decade!
Yes, as per our timeline and the reports, the two have been together for more than half a decade. Their son is now 3 years old and Joel continues to gain headlines as the league’s leading scorer and MVP.
Anne can be regularly seen courtside supporting her boyfriend. Their son, Elijah also makes appearances at home games every now and then.
With the Philadelphia 76ers returning to take advantage of their home court we are more than likely to see Joel Embiid Girlfriend and his son courtside.
