Patriots Christian Gonzalez appears to be dating influencer after sideline appearance

Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez and influencer Juliana Alvarado appeared to go public with their relationship in an Instagram post she shared Monday.Alvarado sported Gonzalez’s No.0 on the sideline at Gillette Stadium stadium in Foxborough on Sunday during the Patriots’ 20-3 win over Pittsburgh.

“HER! ‍” Gonzalez wrote in the comments.Alvarado replied, “mwah️” with a red heart emoji.The pair were not seen in together in the photos Alvarado shared.

It came after New England locked down Gonzalez earlier this month, agreeing to a four-year, $135 million contract extension to make him the highest-paid cornerback in NFL history.Gonzalez, the No.17 pick in the 2023 NFL draft, was pivotal in shutting down Seattle wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in New England’s Super Bowl 2026 loss to the Seahawks in February.He also led the league with seven postseason deflections.Alvarado — who graduated from Long Beach State with a Bachelor’s degree in Human Development in May — donned a custom Patriots jacket with Gonzalez’s name on the back.She posed in the endzone in a few shots, and donned red boots.It’s unclear how the two got together.

Alvarado shared an Instagram Story post Thursday that showed a room filled with roses and candles and a heart with rose petals, presumably from Gonzalez.The influencer did not elaborate on her post.The Patriots visit the Jaguars on Sunday in a matchup of 1-1 teams....
