Take a walk down memory lane! Shannon de Lima and James Rodríguez's love story
The couple have welcomed an adorable baby boy!
James and Shannon met for the first time in Miami
After months of living the single life, James and Shannon met during the summer of 2018 in Miami. The soccer forward visited the 305 along with the rest of his Bayern Munich teammates.
James arrived in the U.S. at the end of July after spending time with his family in his native Colombia. Although he was unable to play in Miami due to a fracture, he scored a goal on the personal front as he met the woman that would eventually become his girlfriend.
Shannon and James, together for the first time
Although James returned to Germany and Shannon continued working in the U.S., they continued an amicable relationship on social media, and from time to time they would comment and like each other's photos.
Their chemistry was undeniable and in September 2018 they went on a trip to Israel. It was the first time they were spotted together during dinner in a restaurant in Tel Aviv.
