[Saba Sports News] According to French media, Real Madrid legend Karim Benzema will marry French actress Lyna Khoudri in July. The couple first appeared together publicly at the Cannes Film Festival in May, and now they are moving to the next chapter of their relationship, with their wedding scheduled for the weekend of July 5–6 on the island of Corsica. Their relationship seems to have been ongoing for some time, with the earliest mention dating back to October 17, 2022—the day Benzema received the Ballon d’Or from Zinedine Zidane. At the Theatre des Champs-Elysees ceremony, actor Sofiane Zermani was present for the photo session, accompanied by Lyna. After that, Benzema moved to Saudi Arabia to join Al-lttihad, while Lyna continued her career in French cinema, appearing in several films. They were separated by over 6,000 kilometers and never publicly showed up together, so no one suspected any romantic connection. It wasn’t until May 23 that the 32-year-old actress appeared in a evening gown alongside the footballer, four years her senior, at the Cannes Film Festival.
