Belgian Cycling Star Remco Evenepoel Wins Liège-Bastogne-Liège with Support from Wife Oumaima Rayane

The young Belgian Remco Evenepoel won Liège-Bastogne-Liège in a solo breakaway on Sunday, April 23. A victory savored by his companion, Moroccan influencer and model Oumaima Rayane.

On Sunday, Moroccan influencer and model Oumaima Rayane was on site to congratulate her husband, Belgian cyclist Remco Evenepoel, on the third and final Ardennes classic of the season. The reason is simple: Oumi is key in the "Evenepoel ecosystem", La Dépêche du Midi points out, noting that she "is one of the pillars of the balance of the young world champion (23 years old)". In September, she was also present in Madrid, where he had won the La Vuelta Ciclista a España cycling tour.

The first meeting between Remco and Oumi dates back to October 7, 2017. At the time, they were both teenagers: the Moroccan was 16 years old, the Belgian 17 years old. The two teenagers lived side by side in Brussels. Love quickly blossoms between them. A beautiful love story begins. In 2019, the couple separates. Remco moves to Monaco. Oumi remains in Brussels to complete her economics studies at the Free University of the city.

Some time later, the two lovebirds find each other again. Remco and Oumi got married on October 7, 2022.
