Patriots' Christian Gonzalez Appears to Be Dating Influencer
The New England Patriots cornerback and influencer Juliana Alvarado shared Instagram posts hinting at a new relationship.
New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez and influencer Juliana Alvarado have seemingly confirmed their relationship status through recent social media activity. Alvarado posted an Instagram story on Monday that included her wearing Gonzalez's No. 0 jersey on the sideline during the Patriots' 20-3 victory over Pittsburgh on Sunday at Gillette Stadium.
Gonzalez responded to the post with an Instagram comment that read, "HER! 😮💨," to which Alvarado replied, "mwah❤️." The posts suggest a public acknowledgment of their relationship.
Alvarado shared additional photos from her time at the game, showing her in a custom Patriots jacket adorned with Gonzalez's number. She also posted an Instagram story that featured a room filled with roses and candles, with a heart shape made of rose petals, implying a romantic gesture from Gonzalez.
Gonzalez recently signed a four-year, $135 million contract extension with the Patriots, making him the highest-paid cornerback in NFL history. He was the 17th overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft and played a significant role in the Patriots' Super Bowl appearance in February, where he was noted for his defensive performance against Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. He led the league with seven postseason deflections last season.
Alvarado, who graduated from Long Beach State with a degree in Human Development in May, has not provided further details about the nature of her relationship with Gonzalez.
The New England Patriots are set to face the Jaguars on Sunday in a game between two teams with 1-1 records.
