Striker Kylian Mbappé is expected to make his first appearance for Real Madrid on Wednesday – a big day for the Frenchman. What is known about his private life?
The Frenchman is not only a star on the football field, he is also gathering more and more fans on social media. Around 121 million people follow the striker on Instagram. His posts mainly revolve around his everyday sporting life, and the Parisian-born player is reticent about details about his private life. Nevertheless, his love life regularly makes headlines.
There is no concrete information about Kylian Mbappé’s current relationship status. The footballer was last seen with a possible partner in 2022: He was repeatedly photographed with the transgender model Ines Rau. The two were also together at the Cannes Film Festival.
However, there was no official statement about their relationship. A few months ago, Mbappé and Rau unfollowed each other on Instagram – for many followers, an indication of a separation.
In the past, Kylian Mbappé has often been seen alongside models. He is said to have been in a relationship with Frenchwoman Emma Smet for two years, and former Miss France Alicia Aylies also supported Mbappé from the stands in the stadium. The footballer is also said to have flirted with well-known stars such as Naomi Campbell, Kylie Jenner and Stephane Rose Bertram.
In an interview with “GQ” earlier this year, Kylian Mbappé explained that he prefers to keep his professional and private life separate. “The club is work, at home I can relax and spend time with my family, who I don’t get to see often enough,” said the athlete. Regular breaks away from the public eye are essential for his mental health.
Kylian Mbappé was born on December 20, 1998 in Bondy, a suburb of Paris. His football career also began in his hometown. After his talent was discovered in the youth department of the AS Bondy club, he moved to the AS Monaco youth academy – there he continued his rapid rise to football stardom. At the age of 16, he finally played for the Monaco professional team for the first time.
From 2017 to 2024, Kylian Mbappé played for Paris Saint-Germain and won several national titles with his team. He also led the French national team to victory in the 2018 World Cup.
At Paris Saint-Germain, Mbappé was also known by his nickname. There, he was said to resemble the cartoon character Donatello from the animated series “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”. Numerous videos from the dressing room, the players’ bus or shared dinners are circulating on social media in which Mbappé is affectionately called Donatello.
