Julio Rodríguez: Who is Jordyn Huitema's baseball star boyfriend? | OneFootball

Football star Jordyn Huitema has revealed she’s in a relationship with baseball star Julio Rodríguez.

Aged 21, Huitema is one of the most talented young football players in the world. She currently plays for OL Reign in the NWSL after spending three years at Paris Saint-Germain.

The forward has also made 58 appearances for Canada, scoring 15 times, and was crucial as her side clinched gold at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

Huitema was formerly in a relationship with Bayern Munich player and fellow Canadian Alphonso Davies, with the couple regularly posting vlogs and videos on their YouTube channel, formerly named ‘Jordyn and Alphonso’.

The channel attracted more than 800,000 followers, and many are now intrigued about Huitema’s new boyfriend.

Who is Julio Rodríguez?

Rodríguez is a 21-year-old baseball player from the Dominican Republic. He currently stars for Major League Baseball team Seattle Mariners.

After signing with the Mariners in 2017 as an international free agent, Rodríguez made his MLB debut in April 2022.

He took the opportunity and ran with it, receiving the American League Rookie of the Month award for May and June.

After he was selected for the 2022 MLB All-Star Game roster, Rodríguez signed a 14-year contract extension worth up to $400 million (£346m) with the Mariners.

The young star is also an Olympic medallist, earning a bronze medal at Tokyo 2020 while representing the Dominican Republic.

Huitema confirmed her relationship with Rodríguez when she posted a couple of photos of the pair together, alongside the caption: “Seattle has been good this year”.

What happened to Jordyn Huitema and Alphonso Davies?

Davies confirmed in May that he and Huitema parted ways after almost five years together.

Rumours had been circling after the pair deleted photos and videos of them together from their respective social media accounts, while their popular YouTube channel was also taken down.

Davies put an end to the speculation with a short post on his Twitter, while also rubbishing allegations made about Huitema.

“Yes Jordyn and I have parted ways. The rumours about her are not true,” the full-back wrote. “She is a good person [and] I have a lot of respect for her. I wish her the best and ask everyone to respect our privacy.”

Davies is another exceptional young talent in football. He became the youngest player to represent Canada at senior level when he was just 16 years old.

In 2018, he completed a move to Bayern Munich, commanding a then-record transfer fee for the MLS. Davies has since won the Bundesliga four times, and the Champions League in 2020.
