Canadian fashion model Winnie Harlow is apparently close to another power couple in the world of sports. But instead of basketball, Harlow's friendship transcends basketball and into a sport which is considered one of the biggest, if not the biggest in the world, soccer.

In a recent post on her Instagram account, Harlow posted a picture with Antonela Roccuzzo and two other friends as they celebrated Roccuzzo's 36th birthday. Twenty-four hours earlier, Harlow was seen hanging out with David and Victoria Beckham.

Winnie Harlow is a big fan of soccer aside from basketball

One of the most obvious questions being asked is why Harlow has a close relationship with Roccuzzo and Lionel Messi. The simple answer would be that Harlow is a big soccer fan.

Harlow's passion for the beautiful game led her to be among the famous celebrities and athletes who were a part of EA Sports' FIFA 21 Groundbreakers. For a limited part, players could use Harlow in the Volta Football game mode. Harlow's stunning moves are not limited on the runways but they can be seen in the football pitch after all.

Winnie Harlow joined famous sports personalities such as Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens, Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers, Lewis Hamilton of F1 racing, Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks and singer Dua Lipa.
