Cannes Film Festival 2025: Karim Benzema and Lyna Khoudri Confirm Romance
Following months of speculation, French football star Karim Benzema and Algerian-French actress Lyna Khoudri have publicly confirmed their relationship at the 78th Cannes Film Festival. Their appearance together on the red carpet during the closing ceremony on Friday, May 23, has been the talk of the prestigious event.
The couple, who were seen holding hands and smiling confidently for the cameras, attracted widespread attention on social media. Their public display of affection marked the fulfillment of rumors that had been circulating for months[1][2][3].
Khoudri, one of the most prominent figures in Francophone cinema, shone with her charm and confidence, while Benzema, who recently won the Saudi League title with Al-Ittihad, exuded elegance on the red carpet[4].
The pair attended the screening of Martin Bourboulon's "13 Days and 13 Nights" at the Palais des Festivals on the day of the film's showing. This outing at one of the world's most prestigious art events confirmed the longstanding rumors that had been swirling on social media.
Further details about Lyna Khoudri's career and the movie "13 Days and 13 Nights" are scarce at present. However, Khoudri had previously garnered attention for her role in Tariq Saleh's Palme d'Or-winning film "The Eagles of the Republic."
Benzema continues to shine both on and off the field. He has played in 31 games for Al-Ittihad this season, contributing 23 goals and nine assists. Despite this exciting new chapter in his romantic life, his journey with Saudi Arabia's Al-Ittihad is far from over as his contract with the club expires in summer 2026[4].
