It’s been speculated for a little while that Joel Embiid is dating SI Swimsuit model Anne De Paula, and this bubbled over in a GQ cover story when Embiid talked about doing ‘background checks’ on potential mates to ensure they have not previously been with other NBA players.
They were spotted kissing a couple nights ago after a Sixers game, and internet sleuths also noticed retroactively that De Paula had accompanied Embiid on the Sixers’ trip to China:
