Joel Embiid, a player for the Philadelphia 76ers, recently tied the knot with his fiancée, Anne de Paula, on Saturday. The couple’s closest friends and family saw the modest ceremony as they exchanged vows in Southhampton. 2018 saw Paula and Embiid begin dating, having connected through a mutual friend. Paul was unaware that Embiid would become her future husband, an NBA All-Star player, when they first met.
They got married in 2020, two years later, and had a son they called Arthur. It’s possible that in May 2019, Anne was first mentioned in the media. Embiid broke down in tears after Kawhi Leonard’s game-winning shot in the seventh round eliminated Philadelphia from the playoffs. Perhaps Paula, who gave her boyfriend a hug in the tunnel, was the only one who could comfort him.
Paula is a well-known swimsuit model from Brazil. She was featured on the swimsuit cover of Sports Illustrated a few years ago. She was raised in an educated household and was born in 1995. Her father was a physician, while her mother worked as an X-ray technician. The pair has been dating for five years, but they keep their relationship private from the press.
Kawhi Leonard produced one of the best single seasons of any player in NBA history in 2019. He defeated a team favored to win the NBA Finals and emerged victorious like a lion. He upset the defending champions, displayed one of the best defenses against a dominant player, and hit a greater buzzer in Game 7. With 4.2 seconds remaining and the score tied at 90 in the ECSF, Leonard made a buzzer-beater to send Embiid and the 76ers out of the playoffs.
The Philadelphia 76ers and Milwaukee Bucks were the front-runners to win the East. But Leonard dashed the hopes of winning the championship for both clubs that season.
The 2023 MVP, who was spotted sobbing as she made her way to the locker room, was featured in images that went viral. In the meantime, a clip of Anne consoling Embiid in the tunnel in 2019 reappeared online following their Southhampton wedding.
Joel has been able to play at his best since Paula has been his steadfast supporter ever when they first met the All-Star player.
In 2020, Embiid and Paula welcomed their son Arthur into the world. During his first MVP award ceremony last season, his son and his wife made an unusual appearance. When his youngster ran to his father and grasped his leg, an ecstatic Embiid was positioned at the center of the stage. With tears of happiness in his eyes, the 76ers star picked up Arthur after becoming overwhelmed.
