Kylian Mbappe at 24 is already one of the most well-decorated soccer stars in the entire world. He has played two World Cup finals back-to-back, winning one of them. He also became the first player to score a hat trick in a World Cup after England’s Geoff Hurst in 1966.
Kylian Mbappe is an example of a true professional. He is already one of the most commercial faces in the sport. He has kept his personal life and professional life separate so well, despite being so young. His little brother Ethan also plays for the youth ranks of PSG, and also has a ton of potential.
Apart from his immediate family, there was no concrete proof of the 24-year-old’s love life. There were some rumors in the past about him dating, but none of them were true. However, in May of 2022, he was seen with supermodel Ines Rau on the beach and on a yacht at Cannes. They were very comfortable and cozy with each other.
Did Kylian Mbappe’s rumored girlfriend Ines Rau undergo gender reassignment surgery?
Ines Rau made history when she became the first transgender model to become a playmate for Playboy magazine. She became the Playmate of the month for November 2017.
After achieving this unique feat she wrote on her social media, “Nudity shouldn’t be taboo. Nudity means a lot to me since I went through a transition to get where I want to be. Nudity is a celebration of the human being without all the excess. It’s not about sexuality but the beauty of the human body, whether male or female”, stating how much nudity means to her.

Ines wasn’t born female though. She took inspiration for her surgery from actress Caroline Cossey, who became transgender in 1991. She was the first transgender to ever appear in Playboy magazine. Cossey wrote a book ‘I am a Woman’ which was the source of inspiration for Ines. She had all the support from her family and friends for the surgery.
She underwent the surgery at age 16 but didn’t reveal it until she was 24, eight years later. She was afraid of society’s judgment. She also told Playboy that she thought people will reject her if they come to know that she is transgender.
She said, “I was like, You know, you should just be who you are. It’s salvation to speak the truth about yourself, whether it’s your gender, sexuality, or whatever. The people who reject you aren’t worth it. It’s not about being loved by others; it’s about loving yourself”, embracing the identity and the choice she made.
In today’s world, no one should be judged for their sexual identity and if Kylian and Ines are dating, their choices should be respected as well.
