“Chose baseball over UCL champ” - Fans troll Julio Rodriguez's girlfriend Jordyn Huitema over past relationship with Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies
The Seattle Mariners' young sensation, Julio Rodriguez, has made quite a buzz in the MLB ever since he made his debut in 2022. In his short span in the league, he has already made two All-Star selections and is turning out to be one of the key pieces for the club.
Off the field, he is currently dating Jordyn Huitema, who is a talented soccer player for Canada. Recently, on the occasion of his birthday, Huitema took to Instagram to wish Julio Rodriguez a happy 23rd birthday with the help of a series of photographs.
However, fans took this opportunity to mock Huitema over her past relationship with Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies.
"She choosed baseball over UCL champion," one fan said.
Here are the fan reactions:
Previously, Huitema dated Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies but had a fallout earlier in 2022. As per a report from Essentially Sports, the former couple met in 2017 when Davies was playing for Vancouver Whitecaps FC in Canada.
The following year, the pair moved to Europe, with Huitema playing for the Paris Saint-Germain while Davies signed with Bayern Munich. However, they ended their relationship in May 2022. Prior to that, there were rumors of alleged cheating allegations against Huitema as the reason for the fallout.
Amid this news, Davies came forward to clear the air and denied those rumors.
