Thylane Blondeau, the French model who gained worldwide fame as a child and was once dubbed “the most beautiful girl in the world,” has revealed a major update in her personal life: she’s officially engaged.
Blondeau, now 24, shared the news with her millions of followers on social media, posting photos from what appeared to be a romantic getaway in Greece. In the images, the model smiles while showing off a large engagement ring as her fiancé, French actor Benjamin Attal, kisses her on the cheek. The setting included a candlelit table surrounded by rose petals overlooking the water.
“I said yes to my best friend. Here’s to forever,” Blondeau wrote in the caption of her Instagram announcement.
The couple has reportedly been together since 2022, and the engagement quickly drew an outpouring of congratulations from friends, fans and family members. According to reports highlighted in the New York Post, Blondeau’s mother, television host Veronika Loubry, shared an emotional message celebrating the milestone and expressing excitement about the couple’s future together.
Blondeau’s rise to fame began unusually early. At just six years old, she appeared on the cover of Vogue Enfants, the children’s edition of the iconic fashion magazine. The attention surrounding the cover helped earn her the nickname “the most beautiful girl in the world,” a title often referenced in global media coverage. Years later, she again topped TC Candler’s annual “Most Beautiful Faces” ranking in 2018.
Since then, Blondeau has built a successful career as a professional model, working with major fashion brands and appearing on runways and magazine covers. She is currently represented by IMG Models and has also expanded into business, launching her own haircare brand.
Despite growing up in the spotlight, Blondeau has often addressed the scrutiny that comes with early fame. Recently, she pushed back against speculation about cosmetic procedures after some social media users questioned her appearance following a Paris Fashion Week event. Blondeau insisted that she has not had any cosmetic work done, explaining that makeup and styling changes often lead to unnecessary speculation online.
The engagement announcement marks a new chapter for the model, who has spent most of her life in the public eye.
Fans online quickly flooded her post with messages celebrating the couple’s news, with many praising the romantic proposal setting and wishing the pair happiness as they prepare for the next stage of their relationship.
For Blondeau, the milestone signals a personal moment of joy after nearly two decades of living under the global spotlight.
