How did Julio Rodriguez meet his girlfriend Jordyn Huitema? The story of the sporting power couple's

Julio Rodriguez took the MLB by storm in 2022, becoming the first player in its history to hit 25 home runs and steal 25 bases in their rookie campaign. He also became only the fourth rookie outfielder to win the Silver Slugger award, joining the likes of Mike Trout, Aaron Judge, and Ichiro Suzuki.

It appears that he has not only caught the eye of baseball fans but also his girlfriend Jordyn Huitema. The two reportedly met via social media, with Huitema being the one who reached out to Julio Rodriguez. They made their romance public on October 31, 2022, making it Instagram-official.

This is not the first world-class athlete that Jordyn has dated, as the Canadian professional soccer player and her long-term boyfriend, Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies, separated after five years together.

The news came as a shock to soccer fans across the globe, especially given the fact that they are both the current faces of Canadian soccer. However, both Jordyn and Alphonso handled the public break-up respectfully.

"Yes jordyn and I have parted ways. The rumours about her are not true. She is a good person I have a lot of respect for her. I wish her the best and ask everyone to respect our privacy." - Alphonso Davies

While the news of the split with Davies came as a shock to fans, it appears that she and Julio Rodriguez are enjoying their budding young relationship together. Given that Huitema has returned to North America following a stint in Europe, there may be a new power couple in Seattle, home of her new club.

A look at Julio Rodriguez's historic first season with the Seattle Mariners

J-Rod set the MLB ablaze with his aggressiveness at the plate, on the base paths, and in the outfield. As mentioned above, Rodriguez became the first player in MLB history to join the 25-25 club, while also helping the Seattle Mariners reach the postseason for the first time since 2001.

"How far, exactly, can J-Rod go? Mariners general manager Justin Hollander: “I’m afraid to put a limit on it.” - Bellingham Herald

The playoff appearance ended not only the longest postseason drought in the MLB but also of all four major North American sports.

Entering the 2023 campaign, the Mariners are one of the World Series favorites in the American League, behind only the Houston Astros, New York Yankees, and Toronto Blue Jays.
