Life is good for Karim Benzema lately and since last Monday, the Frenchman has been on a little cloud. As many predicted, he received the first Ballon d’Or of his career at the end of an absolutely exceptional season which saw him win the Spanish championship and the Champions League. A totally deserved trophy and at 34, he becomes the oldest player to receive it, proof of his exceptional lifestyle. The player had brought all of his relatives for this ceremony where we could see his son Ibrahim or his new companion, Jordan Ozuna.
The American bombshell took advantage of the event to make a beautiful declaration of love to her darling on Instagram and formalize a relationship that we had suspected for a few months now, as the two stars seemed to be accomplices on social networks. At the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris on October 17, Karim Benzema had put on his 31, borrowing the iconic style of his idol Tupac for the costume, all embellished with a very luxurious watch and whose price would make most of the people… Grand winner of the most prestigious individual prize in football, the native of Lyon not only left with the Ballon d’Or trophy, but also with quite an amazing gift.
A watch with only two copies in the world
Partner of the Ballon d’Or, Swiss luxury watch brand Purnell offered to the two male and female winners (it was the Spaniard Alexia Putellas who won for the second consecutive year) a watch worth 1 million euros! Produced in only two copies, the watch is a real gem on which each of the two athletes will see their name engraved on the back. On the object, there is a 4 gram gold miniature balloon installed under the dial. “Each trophy is unique, just like each winner, and it is in this spirit of exclusivity that Purnell has developed two unique pieces which will be awarded to the male and female winner”declares the Swiss brand on its website.
