Joel Embiid and Anne de Paula
The star of the Sixers, Joel Embiid, is dating Sports Illustrated model Anne de Paula, a Rio de Janeiro native. It seems as if the basketball superstar isn’t the most interesting half of the relationship, but rather Anne is. Word about Embiid and de Paula has been circulating for a while after the latter was spotted at the court-side of every Sixers game.
It became official when the two posted photos of each other on their social media – because if it’s not on social media, it’s not yet official. After the Sixers’ devastating defeat to the Toronto Raptors in the 2019 NBA playoffs, which Embiid took personally, de Paula was there, waiting for his after the game to provide a shoulder to cry on.
