Ines Rau

She is a renowned model in France who became the first transgender model to appear on the cover of Playboy Magazine. She made her first debut in Playboy in 2014, where she posed for a section titled Evolution.

Ines Rau's biography

The French model of Algerian descent was born in Paris, France, on March 18, 1990. She was a male child when she was born, but at 16, inspired by the English transgender model Caroline "Tula" Cossey, she transitioned and underwent physical reassignment.

She then lived as a woman but only came out as a transgender person when she was 24 years old, which is what she said in one of her interviews.

"I went a long time without saying anything about being transgender. I dated a lot and almost forgot about it. I was also afraid of never finding a boyfriend and being perceived as odd, but then I thought, you should just be yourself."

Among her previous known dates is Staiv Gentis. Details about her early life remain a mystery, except that her father has African roots while her mother, the French roots.

Ines Rau and Kylian Mbappe

Kylian Mbappe is also another celebrity whose personal life is not always all over the internet. Still, a photo of him and Rau at the Cannes Film Festival raised many questions about whether the two were in a relationship.

After the duo not reacting to any of the rumours, it is now no longer a secret that the two are in a relationship, especially after an image of him lifting Ines on a yacht published by the Italian press the attention of most of the netizens.

This follows the break-up of the Paris Saint Germain French striker's break up with his French actress girlfriend, Emma Hallyday Smet. According to Gazetta, the Paris Saint Germain forward striker, whose transfer to Real Madrid was prevented, was flirtatious with a particular Italian journalist. Still, since there was no evidence or word from the duo, the reason for their break-up remains mysterious.

Mbappé began his career with AS Bondy, where his father, Wilfried, coached him. Antonio Riccardi, another of his youth coaches at AS Bondy, commented,

I started coaching him when he was six years old. You could tell he was unique. Kylian was far more capable than the other children. His dribbling was already excellent, and he was significantly faster than the rest.

In my 15 years of coaching here, he was the best player I'd ever seen. There are many talents in Paris, but I'd never seen one like him. He was a 'crack' in our language (the best).

He eventually transferred to the Clairefontaine academy, where he put on a string of strong displays that drew interest from a number of French clubs, as well as Real Madrid, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich.

Mbappé was invited to train with Real Madrid's under-12s and tour the club's facilities when he was 11. He travelled to London at 14 after receiving an invitation from Chelsea to play for their young squad against Charlton Athletic. He eventually decided on Monaco.
