Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid has had a nice few months.
The Cameroon native was named NBA MVP in May and now, two months later, he’s tying the knot with Anne de Paula, a former Sports Illustrated model, no less.
Embiid and de Paula, 28 and 29 respectively, became husband and wife in Southampton, New York.
The pair already share a son together, Arthur, who is currently two years old. He was adored by NBA fans after greeting his father on the field at the MVP ceremony.
De Paula and Embiid got married in a church, as seen by a friend of the movie producer, Michael D. Ratner Instagram.

Dressed in a white tuxedo with a bow tie to boot, Embiid was seen smiling with his blushing bride, who wore a progressively patterned dress.
Embiid received the only ring of his career at the ceremony. His 76ers could not beat the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference semifinals in May.
There is uncertainty about the future of Philadelphia. James Harden could be out and Embiid revealed he was “disappointed” to find out The Beard wanted to leave.
Embiid has described how much an NBA title would mean to him — and suggested that at some point he might be willing to leave the 76ers to achieve it.
“I just want to win a championship. Whatever it takes,” Embiid said in an interview with Maverick Carter that took place Thursday at the UNINTERRUPTED Sports Film Festival.
“I don’t know where that’s going to be, whether it’s in Philly or somewhere else, I just want the opportunity to achieve that.
