Overview
- Speaking on Oct. 7 at the “Mères de champions” roundtable during the Demain le monde/Demain le Sport event at Maison de la Radio, Fayza Lamari and Céline Bonnet described the strain that relentless attention places on their families.
- Lamari said Kylian Mbappé’s life in Paris brought extreme overexposure, noting “very low peaks” and saying he can no longer walk in the street.
- She recalled the 2018 World Cup parade on the Champs-Élysées as the moment she felt her son slip away from the family, adding that parents are not prepared to become public figures.
- Addressing the Stockholm case from October 2024, which was closed without further action, Lamari described personal turmoil and said she even confronted her son during that period.
- Bonnet said Léon Marchand maintains a punishing training routine and largely stays in the United States, while both mothers noted challenges for younger brothers Oscar and Ethan growing up in the shadow of their siblings.
