A single mother, Philomene Capela, raised Clint Capela!
Clint Capela was born on May 18, 1994, in Geneva, Switzerland, to Philomene Capela, an Angolan father and a Congolese mother, Philomene Capela.
Moreover, his parents separated a few months after his birth, leaving his mother to raise Clint and his two brothers alone.
Capela’s mother, Philomene, left Congo in 1993 to travel to Switzerland through Italy to pursue her dream of becoming an actress.
Philomene met Clint’s father in Switzerland, but Clint didn’t get to know him as his father left the family when Clint was just a few months old.
Likewise, his mother struggled a lot to raise him and his brothers as they were not financially stable; Capela and his two brothers were partly raised in a group foster care home.
Initially, Clint was passionate about soccer and wanted to pursue his career in it.
However, his elder brother Landry suggested he play basketball because his towering height is 6 ft 3 inches.
His older brother Landry, who had already started playing basketball, inspired him to pursue his basketball journey.
In an interview, Capela stated, “I was hesitant at first, but once I got on the court with my brother, the game came naturally to me. I decided to dedicate myself completely to the game, and from then on, I never stopped.“
Clint Capela often talks about his mother’s sacrifice and continues to make her proud with his outstanding achievements at such a young age.
