Chelsea Striker Joao Felix Dating Stunning Colombian Model from Netflix’s Too Hot to Handle.
Chelsea forward Joao Felix appears to have scored off the pitch, sparking romance rumors with stunning Colombian model and reality TV star Valentina Rueda Velez.
The Portugal international, who joined Chelsea last summer for a reported £42 million from Atletico Madrid, was recently spotted holidaying in Miami with Valentina, known for her appearance on Netflix’s hit dating show Too Hot to Handle.
The 25-year-old forward signed a long-term deal with Chelsea until 2031 and contributed to the club’s triumph in the UEFA Conference League under manager Enzo Maresca.
However, his Premier League impact has been limited. Felix scored just once in the league this season—his debut goal against Wolves—before being sent on loan to AC Milan in January.
Felix struggled to find his form at San Siro and was notably left out of Chelsea’s squad for the Club World Cup in the United States.
In a further blow, his iconic No.14 shirt was reassigned to new signing Dario Essugo, fueling speculation about his future at Stamford Bridge.

Following his reported split from Portuguese actress Margarida Corceiro in 2023, Felix has kept his personal life relatively private—until now. Photographs surfaced of Felix and 24-year-old Valentina enjoying time together in Miami.
Valentina, a glamorous brunette, gained fame for her role in Too Hot to Handle, where contestants are challenged to form meaningful relationships without physical intimacy.
Shortly after the photos were posted, Valentina shared videos of the couple on social media but then quickly removed them, adding to the intrigue around their budding relationship.
Joao Felix’s football journey began in his hometown of Viseu, Portugal. He rose through the ranks at Benfica, helping the club secure the Primeira Liga title in 2019.
His performances earned him a high-profile move to Atletico Madrid for £112 million, where he was instrumental in their 2021 La Liga championship.
On the international stage, Felix has earned 45 caps for Portugal and scored nine goals. He was a key part of the squad that won the UEFA Nations League twice, first in 2019 and again in 2023.
With Felix’s loan spell at AC Milan not delivering the expected impact and his standing at Chelsea uncertain, fans and pundits alike are eager to see what the future holds for the talented forward.
Meanwhile, his personal life seems to be gaining positive attention, with his relationship with Valentina Rueda Velez capturing the spotlight.
As Chelsea continue to rebuild and strategize for the upcoming seasons, Felix’s next moves—both on and off the pitch—will be closely watched.
