Who Is Karim Benzema Baby Mama? Meet Cora Gauthier
Cora Gauthier, the baby mama of Karim Benzema, is a French model. Gauthier was born and raised in the capital of France, Paris, and has a huge following of 138k followers on Instagram.
Born to Chris and Lisa Gauthier in 1989, Cora was raised alongside her sister, Sary Gauthier. Her father, Chris Gauthier, is believed to be an entrepreneur in France, and her mother, Lisa Gauthier, is a homemaker.
Cora Gauthier met her spouse, the famous French forward, in Dubai in 2015. And in their very first meeting, the two seemed to have connected well with each other as they soon started dating. And though it has never been confirmed, it is reported that the couple tied the knot in 2016.
When Karim Benzema was asked about his wife in an interview, the Real Madrid forward was defensive about his personal life. He said, “I don’t like being in the spotlight on TV; it’s stupid for me.
“I have my life with my family and friends. And it’s also better and easier for them. Imagine that: you are four years old and live your life with the camera behind you. You can lose your mind,” said Benzema.
On Instagram, the French model Cora has never shared photos with her famous husband. There isn’t a single photo suggesting that she is the striker’s wife.
But she does have tons of photos with her son Ibrahim Benzema, who she shares with Karim Benzema, whom she had in 2017.

1. Melia Benzema
The first child of Karim Benzema, Melia Benzema, was born in 2015. Melia is the daughter of the French forward from his former partner, Chloe de Launaya.
In 2019 when Karim made an appearance on the French TV Show “Quotidien,” he talked about his children. The French forward said, “My kids, they are my everything. I don’t even have the words, don’t show me that picture; otherwise, I’ll start to cry. I talk to them about life every day. To respect people and their parents.”
In 2018 when the Spanish Giants beat the English side, Liverpool, Melia was seen with her father. She gave a sweet peck to her father, who was being interviewed by a French reporter.

Ibrahim Benzema, the only son of Karim Benzema, was born on May 5, 2017. Ibrahim is the child of Karim and his current spouse Cora Gauthier.
And on his dad’s biggest night, Ibrahim walked the red carpet hand in hand with his mother and was later called by his son as well as his mother on stage as he accepted the prestigious award.
Earlier this year, Karim Benzema shared a side-by-side photo of him and Portuguese legend Cristiano Ronaldo with their son recreating the same photo in their International jersey. The internet went wild after the French forward shared the photo on his Twitter handle and captioned it: “What else.”

But in 2021, rumors spread that the French Forward might have returned to his first love after the two appeared close to each other during the French footballer’s trip to Mykonos.
And in the end, the fans of the former couple were left disappointed as Benzema seemed to have moved on with another woman named Jordan Ozuna, who previously worked as a waitress at Hooters in Las Vegas.
Chloe de Laynay gave birth to Melia Benzema in 2015 and continues to live with her daughter in the capital of Spain, Madrid. Chloe has 19.5 k followers on Instagram and has never shared photos with Karim.
