Is Joel Embiid Married?

Is Joel Embiid Married?

Not yet, but he has been in a long-term relationship with model, Anne de Paula since 2018 and has a child with her.

Joel Embiid and Anne de Paula first caught each other's attention during a dinner they were both invited to by a mutual friend in New York City. That night they barely spoke to each other, but despite the awkwardness of that initial meeting, they exchanged numbers and started talking. The two soon realized they had a lot in common, namely their shared passion for soccer, fluency in French, and aspirations of starting their own family one day. Joel and Anne kept their relationship private until Michael Rubin, the owner of the Philadelphia 76ers, congratulated them on their engagement on Instagram, prompting heartfelt congratulations from friends and fans alike.

Anne de Paula is a Brazilian model and social media influencer who has achieved international fame for her work with Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue. Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, she was an avid soccer player as a child, but broke into modeling as a teen and ended up winning an SI swimsuit model search contest in 2017, which eventually led to a 2018 rookie spot for the magazine. This victory marked just the beginning of an illustrious career trajectory for Anne which ultimately landed her at the same dinner table as Joel back in 2018.

On September 24, 2020 Joel and Anne were blessed with the birth of their first child together - Arthur Elijah de Paula Embiid. Joel took to social media to share his joyous announcement with friends and family, accompanied by a heartfelt caption reflecting his anticipation of building a large family together with Anne. In what was truly an awe-inspiring feat of strength and resilience, Anne managed to gracefully pose for Sports Illustrated’s 2021 Swimsuit Calendar while three months pregnant with Arthur!

The name 'Arthur' was selected out of love and respect for Joel's late brother who tragically passed away in 2014, just three months before Joel was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers. Joel has credited his brother for being a constant source of inspiration and motivation, even in the face of adversity.

Today, Joel and Anne continue to thrive not only as an NBA star and Sports Illustrated model respectively, but also as loving parents to their young son Arthur who they hope will build upon the legacy that Joel and his late brother started long ago. Undoubtedly, Joel and Anne's family will continue to grow stronger by the day - both professionally and personally - as they look ahead to a bright future together!
