Mbappé Girlfriend Ines Rau: Know Details

Even as they were once gossiped to be girlfriend and boyfriend, the transgender beauty who was believed to be Mbappe girlfriend, Ines Rau, has made a successful career in fashion and entertainment way past her interaction with the Real Madrid star. The French-Algerian model still smashes industry barriers at the age of 34 years and fights to enforce the rights of the transgender community.

Who Is Mbappé Girlfriend Ines Rau?

The recent infamous former girlfriend of Mbappé, Ines Rau did not only received a lot of attention due to her relationship with a football player but also because the model is the first-ever transgender person to become a Playboy cover model. She was born in Paris and came out as transgender at the age of 16, following the example of a pioneer transgender woman, Caroline “Tula” Cossey, who starred in the movie “For Your Eyes Only,” a James Bond film of 1981.

In 2017, the woman later identified as Mbappe’s Filipino girlfriend became the first gender-trans parental Playmate in the history of Playboy magazine. It is the three years after her debut in 2014 A-Z edition of the magazine that she has been on a constant rise in the world of modeling.

Mbappé Girlfriend: Acting and Entertainment Career

Although Ines Rau is known by many as the girl who is allegedly dating Mbappe, her entertainment career is also quite versatile. She has shown up in major cinema and television projects, such as The Souvenir: Part II (2021) with the legendary actress Tilda Swinton.

Another milestone is that the former MbappE girlfriend managed to get a part in an equally popular Netflix show, Emily in Paris, in the same year, proving that she could change her career path and stay in the mainstream acting arena. Her martial arts career, such as her mastery of boxing, kickboxing, and Thai boxing, may see her in future action movie roles.

The model that became famous as Mbappe’s girlfriend was a successful author and activist. In 2018, Rau wrote a memoir in French, Femme, about her experiences as a trans woman, which was positively reviewed.

Her activist activities precede her popularity on being the Mbappe Honey-girl, as she has appeared on various French television programs such as Sept a huit in 2016. She has continued to raise awareness of transgender lives in society in France through these outlets.

This is how the story between Ines Rau and Kylian Mbappé started to appear in the press earlier, when both of them attended the 2022 Cannes Film Festival. It was a major media and social media buzz when the transgender model was paired with the football superstar to be part of the Mbappe bench as Mbappe girlfriend.

It was reported that the couple, adding Rau as Mbappe girlfriend, went out on luxurious yachts as well as engaged in private parties. But there are rumors that their love affair had broken off after the World Cup 2022 in Qatar, when Mbappé was the subject of discriminatory statements on his solidarity with his partner of transgender orientation.

Ines Rau still pursues various career preferences since the time she was the alleged MbappE girlfriend. In January 2024, her social media was updated with a new romantic companion, which means that she is over her time as Mbappe’s girlfriend.

The ex-girlfriend of Mbapp is still using her popularity as a stage to promote LGBTQ + rights and seek possibilities in the entertainment industry. Her presence in the industry is evidence of the fact that her value is well beyond her relationship with the football star.
