Kylian Mbappé'sgirlfriend may never be publicly identified or confirmed—because that's how he wants it.
The Frenchfootballer has kept his romantic life under wraps since he first became a global star. While he's been linked to several stunners through the years, he hasn't spoken openly about any of his romantic relationships, instead preferring to keep conversations about his work on the field and on his family.
"We have always been very close, and very much a family, all together at home. We eat our meals together at the table. We have never given that up," he told TIME. "I was raised with my two parents and my two brothers, we were always all together. Whether it was my first match for the youth [league] or now in front of 80,000 spectators, they are always there for me. When a player has a healthy, balanced family, he can give his all."
Mbappé's discussions being almost exclusively about his work and his family even extends to his conversations with his own mom.
When asked if Mbappé was in a relationship, his mother, Fayza Lamari, told L'Equipe Magazine in September 2025 that her son will always question the intentions of anyone he dates because of his level of fame.
"He'll never be certain," Lamari said. "I asked him recently if he had a girlfriend. He replied, 'Do you see a girlfriend in this mess?' It's complicated being Kylian Mbappé's girlfriend, with everything that entails. He's already had relationships, and it's not easy for either of them."
The biggest part of why he keeps his personal life private, Mbappé says, is because making his dating life media fodder makes navigating relationships—which is already not easy for the average person, let alone a worldwide phenom who's traveling constantly and living in a fishbowl of fan speculation and public scrutiny—even harder.
"It comes down to the fine line between paranoia and vigilance. Some people want to harm you, but that's not everyone. You shouldn't overthink it and just jump in," he explained about his approach to relationships. "That applies to everyone. Are you married? How did you decide she was the one? You do everything you can to make it work, but how do you guess the obvious?"
Phew, "complicated" is right! Find out who Mbappé is in a relationship with now (as far as we know!) and who he's dated in the past.
