I’m just trying to build a soccer team but for real I’m so excited for the future and my life has a new meaning. Kudos to @annedepaula_ for being so strong and giving me the Greatest Gift our life can offer #GodisGood,” he wrote.

Beyond the dazzling lights of the NBA, Anne De Paula shone as a talented Brazilian model, making her mark in the fashion world. Her success soared, becoming a recognized swimsuit model for Sports Illustrated.

But their love story was not limited to the basketball court and the runway; they discovered a mutual passion for soccer, and Anne’s experience as a goalkeeper further cemented their bond. Their shared knowledge of the French language added yet another layer of connection.
