A deep dive into the family of Thylane Blondeau
Thylane Blondeau was named the world’s most beautiful girl at the age of six which was a major breakout in her career as it launched her into international fame. It opened doors to major campaigns, runway shows, and collaborations with luxury brands.
She started her career in modelling at the age of four, walking the runway for Jean Paul Gaultier. At the age of 10, Thylane became the youngest model to ever pose for Vogue Paris. When she reached the age of 15, she officially signed with IMG Models. She modelled for brands like Chanel, Ralph Lauren and L’Oreal.
In 2015, Thylane ventured into acting, starring as Gabrielle in the French film Belle & Sebastian: The Adventure Continues.
After spending a decade in modelling, Thylane Blondeau became a global brand ambassador for L’Oréal Paris in 2017. She was the youngest person to hold the role for L’Oréal Paris at the time. She later modelled for luxury houses like Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, and Tommy Hilfiger.
Born in April 2001, Thylane Blondeau grew up in a French family. Her parents, Patrick Blondeau and Véronika Loubry, married in 2002 and divorced in 2016. She has a younger brother named Ayrton. The siblings often appear in family photos and appear to have a close relationship.
Véronika has defended her daughter from the backlash surrounding her career. When Thylane’s controversial photos were published in Vogue Paris in 2011, Véronika responded to the global controversy by temporarily shutting down the young model’s social media accounts. Thylane was 10 at that time.
Thylane Blondeau and Ben tied the knot at the Mairie du 16ème arrondissement in Paris on June 29. She wore a custom gown by Eva Bouskila Bridal, featuring a floor-length silhouette and matching capelet. Her hair was adorned with white flowers, completing her bridal look. The groom wore a navy suit.
Before announcing her wedding to Ben, she shared photos from their engagement on Instagram in May where she described him as her “best friend.” The caption of her post read:
“I said yes to my best friend. Here’s to forever.”
In early March 2026, Ben proposed to his lady love during a romantic getaway at the Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel on the Athens Riviera in Greece. It featured a seaside setup with red rose petals leading to a candlelit table. The engagement ring has been described as an enormous diamond solitaire in a simple gold band.
Before dating Ben, Thylane was in a relationship with French DJ Milane Meritte. She first went Instagram official with her husband in 2019.
