Dembele and Edbouche tied the knot in 2021, leaving fans surprised as the couple had kept their relationship private until then.

Unlike the wives and girlfriends of other sports stars, Edbouche, who has Moroccan heritage, prefers to stay out of the limelight, but she’s often seen cheering Dembele on from the stands.
