The Paris Saint Germain star took on Argentina in the World Cup finals over the weekend, with France narrowly missing out on lifting the trophy in a penalty shootout. Mbappe won the title of Golden Boot being the first player to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final since Geoff Hurst in 1966.

However, it’s been reported by The Sports Grail, that the footballer is now allegedly linked to Bertram after meeting her in the fashion industry.

Who is Ines Rau?

Rau was Playboy magazine’s first openly transgender cover model and Playboy’s Playmate of the Month for November 2017.

Reported by Entertainment Tonight, in an interview for Playboy she said: “I lived a long time without saying I was transgender. I dated a lot and almost forgot. I was scared of never finding a boyfriend and being seen as weird. Then I was like, ‘You know, you should just be who you are. It’s a salvation to speak the truth about yourself, whether it’s your gender, sexuality, whatever. The people who reject you aren’t worth it. It’s not about being loved by others; it’s about loving yourself.’”

She added: “When I was doing this shoot, I was thinking of all those hard days in my childhood. And now everything happening gives me so much joy and happiness. I thought, ‘Am I really going to be a Playmate -- me?’ It’s the most beautiful compliment I’ve ever received. It’s like getting a giant bouquet of roses.”

In an interview with Vogue in 2016 she reflected on getting into the modelling industry, Bertram said: “I remember when I started people always told me that it would never work out.” She added: “They told me that I’d never get to do big jobs because I wasn’t tall enough, didn’t have a very skinny high-fashion body type. Right now we’re in 2016, and it’s so important to give chances to girls who aren’t tall, who have curves, and are different. That way you can tell that fashion is changing, now it’s all about who you are.”
