It goes without saying that Kyle Kuzma’s girlfriend, Winnie Harlow, never disappoints whenever she struts the runway and posts for paparazzi on red carpets. She’s been top in the modeling industry, making her very popular with the opposite sex too. As the romance between the model and the basketball star continues, many wonder how Kyle snatched this beauty.
Winnie Harlow is a Canadian model born on July 27, 1994, first appearing on the 21st Cycle of America’s Next Top Model. Many were fascinated with Harlow’s skills and her firm stand on representing women that are not within the common beauty standard. Winnie has a chronic skin condition, vitiligo which is a skin depigmentation, but this didn’t stop her from making a name in the modeling industry.
Before we move further, let’s first answer the question, who is Winnie Harlow dating? Kyle Kuzma, born on July 24, 1995, is originally from Flint, Michigan.
He started his NBA career playing for the Los Angeles Lakers in 2017, and right now, he is playing for the Washington Wizards. Kyle received the First-time All-Pac-12 last 2017, won NBA All-Rookie First Team previous 2018, and bagged his first NBA Championship last 2020.
This six-foot-nine basketball champ is already very much boyfriend material, not to mention he can also go around and spoil his girl with his whooping 13-million-dollar yearly salary. But that’s not how Kuzma captured Winnie Harlow’s heart. It’s much more straightforward than that.

Did you know that Kyle and Winnie might not have happened if Kyle wasn’t persistent? In an interview, Winnie admitted that Kyle DM’ed her a year before they started dating. Harlow said that Kyle sent her a dm in 2019, but to whatever glitch Instagram had on that day, she couldn’t receive the message.
Kyle sent another dm in 2020, but this time, it successfully went through, and this was the start of the lovebird’s romantic journey. Winnie said they were ‘face timing for 24 hours for one month’; if that’s not being lovesick towards each other, what is? After 30 days of virtual flirting, Kyle invited Winnie to Los Angeles, which she gladly accepted.
Winnie and Kyle started officially dating in the Spring of 2020, and during that time, Kuzma’s girlfriend was supportive. The supermodel joined Kuzma on the NBA bubble, where the Lakers won the championship.
Spending the Quarantine Together
After moving in with Kyle in April 2020, the two were said to have spent most of the Quarantine together. Photos of them holding hands and walking together while staying together during the pandemic circled the internet. Most of us just gushed with how good they looked.
Winnie even talked about this while she was a guest on Ellen Degeneres’s show and said she found Kuzma ‘cute’ as he slid through her dm and asked her to come to him in LA during the Quarantine.

Kyle Kuzma and Winnie Harlow never really had the chance to put an end to all of the rumors and speculations about the genuine nature of their relationship. Not until Harlow shared an Instagram picture of herself and Kyle relaxing together on a beachside in the sun. Kyle then reinforced the tittle-tattle when he posted photos on his own Instagram.
Still, something needed to be concrete about what relationship they are sharing. On July 24, 2020, Kyle looked more and more like Winnie Harlow’s boyfriend as he again grazed the model’s Instagram account.
Winnie greeted Kyle with a ‘happy birthday’ with a cute picture of them and a post with a heart emoji. She also wrote, ‘Thank you for your energy, king, it’s only up from here lol I love you, babe. Have an amazing day today, and kill it at work, young lion.’
Winnie Harlow, a Supportive Girlfriend
As we know, Winnie went with Kyle on his NBA bubble last 2020, and most netizens found this cute. The couple was also seen having a golf date in the bubble as Harlow posted a video of them going around the golf course together.
After this, Kyle Kuzma’s Girlfriend, Winnie Harlow, is often seen on the courtside supporting Kyle in his games. The model even posted a photo of her watching one of Kuzma’s games with the caption, “Someone tell 33 to give me a call”.
The Rumored Breakup
After dating for almost one year, Kyle and Winnie broke up last August 2021. Kuzma was traded from the Lakers to the Washington Wizards before the breakup, which sparked many nasty rumors. But the air was cleared when TMZ claimed the ex-couple was still good friends after the split.
However, Kyle and Winnie stayed separated for a short time. After a few months after the said ‘breakup,’ the couple was once again seen holding hands while having a date in New York.
Future Plans for their Relationship
After almost three years of dating, many anticipate this couple’s next move. From celebrating Valentine’s Day to their anniversaries and vacation escape, Harlow and Kyle look like they are on their way to settling together.
Though Kyle and Winnie never mentioned marriage, fans hope they tie the knot in the future. As Kyle once wrote in an Instagram post, “You are a beautiful soul that I love getting to know more and more every day.” I bet no one will be surprised if Kyle brings Winnie in front of the aisle to know her more than just ‘every day’ but through a lifetime.
Through breakup rumors and adorable social media posts, Kyle and Winnie are the couple most of us are eyeing. We would love to see more of these two as their relationship grows. And as they venture on greater heights with their respective careers, Kyle Kuzma’s girlfriend, Winnie Harlow, will forever remember that moment her DM didn’t glitch the second time.
