WHO IS INES RAU?

Mbappe’s girlfriend, Rau, was born in France to Algerian parents. The model, who is 32 years old, underwent gender reassignment surgery when she was only 16 years old. At the age of 24, she publically opened up about it.

Her claim to fame is being named Playboy magazine’s “Playmate of the month” in November 2017. This was a historic moment for the publication as well as the LGBTQI+ community as Rau was the first openly transgender woman to appear on the famous magazine’s cover.

After gaining popularity, she published an autobiography titled Woman in 2018. In the autobiography, she spoke about her gender reassignment surgery.

“I feel that my soul is finally free as if the lock that kept me locked up for so long had opened. This time I am totally a woman,” she said.

“I lived a long time without saying I was transgender. I dated a lot and almost forgot. I was scared of never finding a boyfriend and being seen as weird. Then I was like, You know, you should just be who you are,” the footballer’s girlfriend was quoted as saying.

Neither Rau nor Mbappe have confirmed nor denied the speculations about their relationship.
