This is one of the images of this October 17. Arrived on the red carpet of the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, Karim Benzema posed alongside her young son Ibrahim. All smiles, the Real Madrid striker already knew he was going to have a memorable evening after a successful season in every way. At 34, the kid from Lyon has won the Ballon d’Or for the first time in his career and one wonders if he is not improving with age as his level is stratospheric at the moment. An unforgettable evening during which he formalized his relationship with the model Jordan Ozuna, who has not left him for several months.
During his speech of thanks, during which he did not hesitate to scold his coach at the Blues, Karim Benzema brought his little boy on stage, proof of the complicity that exists between them. Her daughter Mélia had not made the trip to Paris, but she must have watched the ceremony from Madrid where she lives with her mother, Chloé de Launay. If the rumors say that the footballer would have a third child are going well at the moment, he likes to appear from time to time with Ibrahim and Mélia on his social networks, but speaks little about them publicly. However, he was kind enough to say more during an interview with GQ which will appear in the November issue.
It makes me laugh, because my own father had the same attitude towards me
“When you have children, what changes is that you are responsible for them and you have to show them the example”explains Karim Benzema, before saying more about his relationship with his son: “When I train with my son Ibrahim, who is quite talented, I take it very seriously, and if he doesn’t listen to me, I’m a little hard on him. Because when we train, for him I am no longer ‘Dad'”. If he knows how to be strict with his son, KB9 has to take it, as he explains. “It makes me laugh, because my own father had the same attitude towards me”he assures.
Despite his sometimes strict manners with his son, Karim Benzema remains a very loving father, and even sometimes “cake daddy”as he adds in an interview, since he always ends training with Ibrahim with a hug and rarely says no to his children.
