Joel Embiid is now a father

#RVSports Big respect to the current Sixers big man Joel Embiid after a disappointing early exit in the 2020 playoffs a light has been shed on his life with the birth of his first child. Joel took to Twitter to express his happiness, and to share with his fans the new addition to the family. Author Elijah De Paula Embiid “the first of 11 more” was the humorous post you would expect from the gentle giant. Congratulations to Joel and his lady Anna De Paula.

We are so blessed and fortunate to welcome our little boy in this family. First of 11 or more? Trying to convince her but I’m not winning so far. I’m just trying to build a soccer team but for real I’m so excited for the future #GodIsGreat pic.twitter.com/eZaUnx90oo
