Saudi Al-Ittihad forward Karim Benzema appears to have ended his relationship with Jordan Ozuna and is now reportedly seeing someone new. Fans noticed that Ozuna unfollowed the Frenchman on Instagram, sparking rumors of their breakup.
The couple's romance first became public in 2022, with Jordana accompanying Benzema to the Ballon d’Or ceremony that year. In 2023, the pair welcomed a child, and Jordan made a significant personal decision by converting to Islam at a mosque in Madrid.
However, it seems this was not enough to prevent the relationship from falling apart. Reports suggest that Benzema is now dating Franco-Algerian actress Lina Khoudri, with fans pointing out the flirtatious comments Karim has left on her Instagram posts.
Rumors about trouble in Benzema and Ozuna’s relationship surfaced as early as the start of 2024, when Karim vacationed in Mauritius with his ex-wife, Chloé de Launay, in January.
Benzema’s personal life may be complicated, but his performance on the field is much clearer. In the current season, the French forward has played 15 matches for Al-Ittihad across all competitions, scoring 14 goals.
