Jordyn Huitema is a Canadian professional soccer forward who currently plays for Chicago Stars FC in the NWSL.
Outside soccer circles, she is perhaps best known as the former girlfriend of Bayern Munich defender Alphonso Davies.
The two dated for roughly five years before breaking up in April 2022, and casual coverage has often defined her primarily through that relationship.
However, she is a two-time Olympian for Canada, and one of the most accomplished young forwards in North American women’s soccer.

Jordyn Huitema Biography
She was born on May 8, 2001, in Chilliwack, British Columbia. Jordyn Pamela Huitema comes from a genuinely athletic family: her father, Roger, was born in Chilliwack, while her mother was born in Trail, British Columbia.
She has two brothers who also competed in sports at a high level. Her older brother, Brody, played soccer through the Vancouver Whitecaps Residency program before continuing at Duke University, while her other brother, Trent, competed in ice hockey.
Jordyn began playing soccer at just four years old with Chilliwack FC, and her talent was evident from an early age.
She attended Rosedale Middle School in Chilliwack before later training as part of the Whitecaps FC Girls Elite REX program at Burnaby Central Secondary, where she befriended future Canadian national teammate Julia Grosso.
Their friendship and on-field partnership have continued throughout their careers.
Career
Jordyn’s rise through Canadian youth soccer was rapid and well documented. She made her debut in Canada’s youth national team program at just 13 years old in 2014 and went on to earn Canadian U-17 Player of the Year honors in 2017 and Canadian U-20 Player of the Year honors in 2018.
She made her senior debut for Canada’s women’s national team in March 2017 at just 15 years old, becoming the youngest player to appear for the senior team at that time. She scored her first senior international goal that June at the age of 16.
In 2018, Jordyn trained with Paris Saint-Germain, and the club offered her a professional contract that July.
She initially declined, intending to attend college first, but reversed her decision in January 2019, becoming the first Canadian woman to forgo college and turn professional directly out of high school by signing a four-year contract with PSG.
PSG
Jordyn Huitema played three seasons with Paris Saint-Germain from 2019 to 2021, making 45 appearances and scoring the decisive goal in a 3-0 victory over Dijon that secured PSG’s first-ever French league title.
In June 2022, she transferred to Seattle Reign FC, then known as OL Reign, in the NWSL, signing a two-year contract that was later extended through the 2026 season.
Over four seasons in Seattle, Jordyn made 70 regular-season appearances, scoring 10 goals and providing four assists. She also helped the club win the 2022 NWSL Shield and reach the 2023 NWSL Championship match.
In March 2026, she was traded to Chicago Stars FC in a deal that included $200,000 in allocation money and a $300,000 transfer fee.
She signed a three-year contract through the 2028 season, reuniting with longtime friend and Canadian teammate Julia Grosso.
Jordyn scored her first goal for Chicago in her debut for the club later that month.
International Career
Jordyn Huitema has represented Canada at the 2019 and 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cups, as well as the Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Her greatest career achievement came at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, where she was part of the Canadian team that won the country’s first-ever Olympic gold medal in women’s soccer by defeating Sweden in a penalty shootout in the final.
She has also won three CONCACAF medals with Canada across various age-group and senior competitions.
Jordyn has earned more than 96 caps for the senior national team, scoring 23 goals and recording seven assists, placing her among the most experienced and productive forwards in the current Canadian squad.
In 2025, she also spoke publicly about recovering from a traumatic home invasion in the United States, describing how she worked to rediscover her joy for soccer afterward.
Alphonso Davies
Jordyn Huitema and Alphonso Davies began dating in 2017 while they were both teenagers training within the Vancouver Whitecaps system.
As their careers progressed, with Davies joining Bayern Munich and Huitema signing for Paris Saint-Germain, they became one of soccer’s most recognizable young couples.
They also ran a joint YouTube channel that grew to more than 800,000 subscribers before it was deleted following their breakup.
In April 2022, Davies confirmed on social media that the two had ended their relationship after nearly five years together, writing that they had parted ways and asking fans to respect their privacy.
At the time, unconfirmed rumors circulated online suggesting infidelity had played a role in the split.
Davies publicly denied those claims, writing, “The rumours about her are not true. She is a good person. I have a lot of respect for her.”
Neither party has confirmed a specific reason for the breakup.
