On March 8, 2017, Huitema became the third-youngest player to feature for the Canadian Women's National Team in the final of the Algarve Cup against Spain, aged 15.

At 16, the Daily Mail reported that Huitema scored her first senior goal for the national team in a 6-0 thrashing of Costa Rica in a friendly on June 11, 2017.

Her rapid rise through the Canadian system made her one of the biggest talents in world soccer, joining French giants PSG in 2019 and representing Canada at numerous global tournaments.

Huitema made 45 appearances for PSG and scored six goals, helping them to the Division 1 Féminine in 2021 and Coupe de France Féminin in 2022.

The Daily Mail reported that Huitema has played in the World Cup and Olympics for Canada, failing to score at the 2019 and 2023 World Cups. She did win an Olympic gold in 2021, playing 36 minutes in the championship game.

Since leaving PSG in 2022, Huitema has joined the Seattle Reign of the National Women's Soccer League. The Athletic reported that Huitema left PSG to gain experience and game time.

Off the field, Huitema had been widely known for being in a relationship with Canadian and Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies, making viral TikToks together and having their own joint YouTube channel.

The pair had been together since September 2017 but split up in 2022, and she has since started a relationship with Seattle Mariners superstar Julio Rodríguez.

According to the Daily Mail, Huitema has shared several pictures with the MLB superstar on her Instagram, who signed a 14-year contract worth $400 million in August 2022.

The Sun reported that Huitema makes £59,836 per post on Instagram, putting her third on the list of biggest commercial stars in women's soccer.

Despite being in a relationship with an MLB superstar and her off-the-field brand success, Huitema is still concentrating on her soccer and becoming the best in the world.

According to BBC Sport, Huitema said: "I really want to take the next few years to develop and become the best player I can."

"(I'm) really honing my skills to become one of the best forwards in the world - if not the best forward."
