Kylian Mbappé and Nawel Debbouze : the rumor

A simple photo was enough to start the rumor. Seen very close and complicit in the stands during the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, Kylian Mbappé and Nawel Debbouze, the sister of comedian Jamel, are causing a stir on social networks. Simple friendship or the beginning of a romance ?

The stands of the Moroccan stadiums are not only vibrating for football. On the sidelines of the 2025 AFCON matches, it is a completely different match that seems to be played under the photographers’ lenses. A photo shared on Instagram triggered a storm of speculation: it shows Kylian Mbappé, all smiles, sitting in the immediate vicinity of Nawel Debbouze and the player’s father, Wilfried. The scene, captured in a relaxed atmosphere, shows an obvious complicity between the Real Madrid star and the young woman, under the benevolent eye of the big brother, Jamel Debbouze.

The comedian, a fervent supporter of the Atlas Lions, was present to celebrate Morocco’s victory over the Comoros, describing the event as a "source of pride" for the nation. But it is the presence of his younger sister alongside the captain of the Blues that has stolen the show. Internet users, transformed into body language experts, analyze each look and each smile, looking for signs of a budding romance. This intriguing closeness comes at a particular time for the fashion designer, who officially announced her separation from Fouad Ben Kouider last October, marking a new start in her love life.

While Kylian Mbappé is known for locking his private life under double lock, this public appearance in a family and relaxed setting contrasts with his habits. For now, none of the protagonists have commented on the rumor, but the image of this unexpected duo, reunited by the magic of the AFCON and the intervention of the Debbouze clan, continues to fuel conversations well beyond the sports circles.
