Benjamin Attal: Meet the Man Who Put a Ring on Thylane Blondeau’s Finger
It's the engagement that has all of France talking: Former child-star model Thylane Blondeau is engaged to her long-time boyfriend, Benjamin Attal. The 24-year-old posted a picture on Instagram showing her boyfriend during the proposal – and now everyone wants to know one thing: Who is this Benjamin Attal who has captured Blondeau's heart?
From Best Friends to Fiancés
What many didn't know: Before they became a couple, they were inseparable friends for years. "My best friend became my fiancé," Thylane wrote under her post, making it clear there's no room for doubt here. The proposal reportedly took place in an intimate setting, surrounded by family and closest friends. The dazzling diamond on her finger – a real showstopper, as everyone noted.
The Women Behind the Scenes: Mom and Aunt Are Beaming
Unsurprisingly, the first to congratulate them was Véronika Loubry. The bride's mother, herself a familiar face on French television, commented on the post with a flood of heart emojis. Her aunt, Karine Le Marchand, the legendary host of "L'amour est dans le pré" (France's Farmer Wants a Wife), also made sure to publicly congratulate her niece. The whole family seems absolutely thrilled with Benjamin.
A look at the reactions:
- Véronika Loubry: "My heart is bursting with happiness"
- Karine Le Marchand: "Finally official! I love you guys so much"
- The Fans: Hundreds of comments celebrating the couple and admiring the ring
Who is Benjamin Attal Really?
Unlike his fiancée, who was a regular on the world's runways since childhood, Benjamin Attal has largely stayed out of the spotlight until now. He's not an actor, not a singer – he's grounded, private, almost low-key. Those who know him describe him as Thylane's rock, someone who's there to catch her when the model hustle gets too much. And that seems to be exactly what the young woman values in him: authenticity.
Now, after the engagement, he probably won't be able to stay under the radar so easily. The paparazzi have already got him in their sights, and gossip columns are full of speculation about the wedding. But one thing is for sure: If anyone can keep their cool, it's this Benjamin Attal, who suddenly went from a nobody to the most sought-after man in France.
We're curious to see what the wedding will be like – and whether Mom Loubry and Aunt Karine will be the first on the dance floor again.
