Joel Embiid is clearly a sensational player on the court. However, what about his personal and romantic life of the county? NBA fans must certainly want to know all about his family and whether he is even married in the first place.
Therefore, we need to take an in-depth look into the life of the Philadelphia 76ers superstar. Considering that he is only 28 years old, we should also take a look at his relationships and whether he has children. After all, several NBA players like LeBron James, Giannis Antetotokounmpo, Ja Morant, and Jayson Tatum all had children at a very young age.
Does Joel Embiid have kids?
As mentioned, several NBA stars become parents at a young age. This is not that surprising considering the amount of money and popularity these players become accustomed to. It turns out that Embiid is no expectation of this stereotype. He has a young child named Arthur Embiid, who we saw celebrating with his father after his recent performance.

Embiid is one of the few players in the NBA, who is not from America. In fact, he is from Cameroon, a country in Central Africa. He initially had a passion for Volleyball and wanted to play at the highest level. However, as we all know, he transitioned to basketball and began playing when he was 15 years old.
At some point in 2018, Joel met a Brazillian model named Anne De Paula. She is also a social media influencer and is even considered to be somewhat of an internet sensation. Moreover, she won Sports Illustrated Magazine’s swimsuit model search competition back in 2017. She has a net worth of around $14 million.
It would interest NBA fans to know the significance behind Embiid’s son’s name. He is actually named after Joel’s brother Arthur, who unfortunately passed away in an accident back in 2014. Out of respect for his late brother, Embiid decided to name his son after him.
