Early life
Unusually for a social media influencer, Cora has managed to keep her early life and education somewhat of a mystery to the public eye; but here’s what we do know…
As a child, she lived with her Mother (Lisa Gauthier), Chris Gauthier, and her father (Chris Gauthier). Her only sibling was Sara Gauthier. According to some reports her Father was an entrepreneur and her Mother was a housewife.
In her early years, Cora went to a private high school in her local town and then later studied at the British School of Paris (the only UK government-accredited school in the whole of France).
During higher education, her proudest achievement was gaining a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts from the University of Paris.
Cora is said to have been extremely intelligent and ambitious during her school years. She went on to study modeling after graduating from university (an industry that she had always loved).
Career
Gauthier discovered that what started as a hobby turned into a career. She could also be successful if she applied herself.
Because of her alluring looks, she wasn’t slow in getting deals and climbing higher within the modeling world.
Cora Gauthier, currently a model and ambassador for many fashion brands in the market, is currently a model. In the past she has worked with ‘Zara’ and ‘Dior’ to help promote their products.
Cora is also famous for her expertise in the swimwear business and has won admiration from many around the globe with her unique style of swimwear.
Cora limits her modeling to today’s social media platforms, where she has amassed quite a following with her work.
She also promotes a variety of fashion-related products through her Instagram accounts.
The beginning of her relationship with KarimBenzema
According to reports, Karim and Cora met in Dubai in the latter part of 2015.. The couple began to date one another after their initial attraction. They also started to take relationships more seriously.
Soon after, Cora would move to Madrid, Spain to be near Benzema (as Karim Benzema played for Spanish footballing giants Real Madrid).
After Cora moved to Madrid to continue the relationship, things started to move very quickly for the couple…
One year after their first meeting in Dubai Cora Gauthier would marry Karim Benzema in December 2016.
According to reports the wedding was privately held in London and kept in tradition with the couple’s religious beliefs.
Cora Gauthier and Karim Benzema would have their first child just a few days after the wedding.
On the 5Th of May 2017, Ibrahim Benzema would be welcomed into the family with Karim, Cora, and Melia (Karim’s daughter from a previous relationship).
Keep Out of the Public Eye
Despite social media being one of Cora Gauthier’s main streams of income, she doesn’t reveal too much about her personal life on the platform.
Her Instagram account is dominated by brand collaborations, fashion advertisements, and other media.
Although since the birth of her son, she has seen to be posting more ‘family’ pictures on her account than she did before.
Although to show how private she really is, Cora hasn’t posted a single picture with Karim Benzema either before or after their marriage!
Many details about the stages of their relationship have been kept secret as Cora recently came out to say, “It’s our private thing. It’s always been like this. I don’t like to be in the spotlight or on TV”.
Cora would marry one of the most successful world football players, so the news of their marriage would invariably leak to the media and press.
It must be stated that both Karim and Cora have done a great job keeping the media attention away from their marriage and family.
However, since the news leaked Cora has seen a huge growth in her followers on Instagram and if anything, she’s used this to her advantage when promoting products.
She has been able to use her social media reach to further her career, work alongside bigger brands and make more in the fashion/modeling world since she met Benzema.
Cora Gauthier’s Net Worth?
Due to her strict rules around privacy and personal information, there is no exact amount that can be attributed to Cora’s name.
But, we know Cora Gauthier made a good living from her career.
From her modeling career and partnership with high-end fashion brands, It’s reported that Cora has an estimated net worth of around $3-4 Million dollars.
It is likely that her net worth has increased substantially since she married Benzema (networth of about $70 Million) and shared in his riches (as also as her increasing fame on social media).
What Does The Future Hold For Karim Benzema & Cora Gauthier?
In the past, Benzema hasn’t exactly been far away from the media spotlight surrounding several controversies, rumors, and even legal troubles that he’s had.
In 2015, Karim Benzema was arrested by French police for trying to blackmail fellow French national team-mate Mathieu Valbuena regarding the release of an ‘intimate sex tape’.
The case reached all corners of the globe and Benzema was subsequently ruled unfit to play for the French national soccer team in the foreseeable future (until Euro 2020), when the Real Madrid striker was recalled up to the national squad to play alongside Kylian Mbappe.
Very recently, Benzema has also been accused of cheating on his wife Cora Gauthier with Justin Bieber’s ex-girlfriend (American model Jordan Ozuna) over an Instagram photo that was posted, and then deleted from Benzema’s account.
The photo was similar to one Jordan Ozuna had posted on her Instagram account just a few minutes later. This led to controversy.
There has been rising speculation online that Cora and Karim have separated, but it’s important to stress that this hasn’t been confirmed officially and to the wider knowledge, the couple is still together amidst the recent controversy.
It seems as though media attention and drama seem to follow Karim Benzema no matter what he does or where he goes, as the couple keeps their relationship very private it’s hard to discover how things really are.
We can see that Karim, Cora, as well as their children, seem content with Madrid family life. Cora Gauthier (and Karim Benzema) have a bright outlook for the future.
