French model Thylane Blondeau, who first attracted global attention as a child when she was famously labeled “the most beautiful girl in the world,” has reached an exciting new moment in her personal life. The 24-year-old star recently revealed that she is now engaged to musician Ben Attal.
The proposal reportedly took place during a romantic escape to Greece. The couple had traveled to the famous Athens Riviera, where Attal carefully planned a special evening to ask the question that would change their lives.
He arranged a private dinner at an outdoor table overlooking the sparkling waters of the Aegean Sea. The setting was designed to feel intimate and unforgettable — rose petals scattered across the table and soft lighting creating the perfect atmosphere for the moment.
During the dinner, Attal surprised Blondeau by asking her to marry him. She accepted the proposal, and later shared the news with fans online. Along with the announcement, she revealed the ring: a striking diamond mounted on a simple yellow-gold band.
“I said yes to my best friend. For eternal love,” she wrote, confirming the engagement.
Blondeau has been familiar with public attention almost her entire life. She was born into a well-known French family — the daughter of television host and fashion designer Veronika Loubry and former professional footballer Patrick Blondeau.
Her path into the fashion world started incredibly early. When she was just four years old, she appeared on the runway in a show by famous designer Jean Paul Gaultier. Soon afterward, the children’s magazine Vogue Enfants famously referred to her as “the most beautiful girl in the world,” a nickname that stayed closely associated with her for years.
By the age of ten, Blondeau had already made history as the youngest model to appear in Vogue Paris. Years later, in 2018, the global ranking list created by TC Candler once again placed her at the top, renewing the same famous title.
Her relationship with Ben Attal became public in 2020. Before that, the model had dated French DJ Mylene Merritt, with whom she was often seen in Paris and Los Angeles before their split in 2019.
Now the model is celebrating a major milestone as she prepares to marry the man she calls her best friend.
