Africa-Press – Eritrea. At the “Demain le Sport” conference in Paris, Fayza Lamari, Kylian Mbappé’s mother, shared an emotional insight into the toll her son’s fame has taken on their lives. Behind the dazzling image of the Real Madrid star lies a story marked by isolation and relentless public scrutiny.
“In Paris, Kylian was under a magnifying glass that amplified his flaws — he was no longer human,” she said, her voice heavy with emotion. “He can’t even walk down the street anymore. It saddens me deeply.” Lamari admitted that she never wanted to live in the spotlight, adding, “We’re not prepared to become public figures.”
A former handball player herself, Lamari described how her son’s meteoric rise to fame changed everything. “During the 2018 World Cup, I was all alone at home. When I saw him on the Champs-Élysées, I realized he was slipping away from me,” she revealed. The leap from their modest life in Bondy to the luxury of Parisian hotels felt surreal: “I went straight from Bondy to Royal Monceau. I felt like we were the Tuches.” Her heartfelt words paint a touching portrait of the sacrifices and solitude behind football’s brightest success story — a reminder that even global icons like Mbappé live with very human struggles.
