The list of the greatest footballers of the last decade is incomplete without Madrid’s heroic forward Karim Benzema. With an interminable arsenal of individual awards, he has led his team to victory multiple times. He was also part of the champion squad of the latest season.

He has established himself as one of the greatest players at an international level. Karim’s finishing skills and playstyle feels like a magician performing on the field.
Off-field, Karim is an average family person just like us. He loves his family and is often observed speaking about his children to the media. He has a lovely wife and two children: Ibrahim and Melia.

He is often seen wrapped up in multiple controversies and legal lawsuits to taint his image. However, amidst this chaos, he is able to maintain a lovely relationship with his current partner who is substantial support to him and his two lovely kids.
Who is Cora Gauthier?
Karim is currently married to Cora Gauthier. She is the mother to Karim’s second-born child whom they named Ibrahim.
Cora was born on 11th April 1989 and is 33 years old as of now. She was born in a household in France. She has an older sister named Sary. Cora Gauthier is a fashion blogger and professional model with an Instagram following of around 117k. She collaborates with popular apparel brands to do photoshoots for them.

The couple first met in 2015 in Dubai. This was when Karim was still married to his previous partner Chloe de Launay. After a year-long relationship with Cora, the player married her at the end of the year. Both welcomed their child Ibrahim in 2017.
Cora likes it peaceful and avoids fame and attention. She does not speak fully about her personal life and likes to keep it her own little secret.
Who is Melia’s mother?
However, Karim’s firstborn child was nurtured in the womb of his previous partner Chloe de Launay. The couple was seen together for the first time in 2010 and three years later they gave birth to Melia.

Chloe de Launay was an ordinary girl who had set out to become a nurse. However, Karim’s eye set on Chloe and he fell in love at first sight. After a few years of togetherness, they gave birth to their first child Ibrahim.
