While the name of Kylian Mbappe is one of the most searched in recent days after he became one of the most prominent players who will be in the final of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, it is also trending the name of Ines Rau, who is related to the star of Les Bleus.
Who is Ines Rau?
For some months now, Mbappé’s name has been sentimentally linked to that of Ines Rau, a transgender model and former Play Boy magazine cover girl.
Media in Italy and France, in particular, have been following the story of Mbappe and Rau, a 32-year-old model. She was born a man and at 16 changed gender. She gradually earned a place in the modeling world until she made it to the cover of the men’s magazine in 2017, becoming the first openly transgender woman to do so.
A year later she published her autobiography “Woman,” in which she confirmed that at 16 she underwent gender reassignment surgery; when she revealed her sexuality at 24 she said it was the most liberating thing in her life.
Mbappe and Rau were captured in various photographs
Although neither Mbappe nor Rau have made it official, in past months some photographs surfaced where they are seen very happy on a yacht, chatting very cheerful, while in another photograph the PSG player is seen carrying her in his arms.
On her Instagram account, Ines Rau has more than one million followers and several photographs in which she appears modeling. She will surely be very attentive to what happens on Sunday on the field of the Lusail Stadium, where Mbappe and France go for the third title in the history of Les Bleus and second in a row, against an Argentina that with the help of Lionel Messi is also going for the third star on its shield.
