Overview

• Julian Draxler wed French dancer Sethanie Thaing May 31 at Paris’s five-star Shangri-La hotel with 250 guests in a grand salon adorned with white flowers, candles and a tiered wedding cake.
• The couple journeyed over 6,000 km from their Doha base to celebrate in Paris, underscoring the city’s sentimental value to Thaing and Draxler.
• Draxler stunned in a glittering, patterned smoking while Thaing wore a mermaid-style gown with sequins, and they later changed into new ensembles for the evening reception.
• Their celebration overlapped with Paris Saint-Germain’s 5–0 victory over Inter Milan in the Champions League final—Draxler’s former club where he played from 2017 to 2023.
• Now 31 and a 2014 World Cup winner, Draxler competes for Al-Ahli SC in the Qatar Stars League after signing a contract extension through 2028.
