France's Kylian Mbappe, 23, is one of the world's most sought-after soccer players and currently plays for PSG with the legendary Lionel Messi and Neymar. At barely 19 years old, he became the World Cup's second youngest goal scorer (behind Pelé) and helped his country win the tournament in 2018. Along with his extraordinarily excellent career, Mbappe has had a few linkups with top fashion models.
The forward has been romantically linked with model Ines Rau since the duo was sighted on a yacht in Cannes in May. However, rumors suggest that he is seeing Rose Bertram, a 27-year-old Belgian model. So, who is Kylian Mbappe dating? Here's what we know so far.

Who is Rose Bertram?
Kylian Mbappé has recently been linked to Belgian model Rose Bertram. According to The Sun, Bertram, who lives in Paris, met Mbappe during his entry into the fashion world. Bertram was signed to a modeling agency at the age of 13 and to the Dominque agency at the age of 16. Earlier, Bertram was the girlfriend of former Dutch right-back Gregory van der Wiel.
They were together since she was 17 years old, and they have one child, born in Toronto. Van der Wiel and Mbappé were teammates, but their paths did not cross after the former left the team in 2016, a year before the latter signed with Paris St Germain. Bertram and Mbappé have not been publicly spotted together, although they are thought to be dating. They both follow each other on Instagram, fueling fan suspicions, as reported by the Sun.
Ines Rau
The striker has also been rumored to have been seeing model Ines Rau for a while. Mbappe and Rau were reportedly observed together at the Cannes Film Festival and then on a yacht where the footballer was seen carrying his girlfriend, according to Corriere Dello Sports. Rau was Playboy magazine's first openly transgender cover model and the November 2017 Playmate of the Month. Rau is also an activist who fights for indigenous rights and supports anti-racist, pro-migrant, and pro-LGBT positions, as per reports.
Over the weekend, the Paris Saint-Germain star faced Argentina in the World Cup finals, with France nearly missing out on the trophy in a penalty shootout. Mbappe won the Golden Boot award after becoming the first player since Geoff Hurst in 1966 to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final.
