KARIM BENZEMA’S girlfriend Jordan Ozuna has given her first interview since beginning her relationship with the striker.
The Frenchman is one of football’s biggest stars, but his relationship with Jordan has remained low-key.
Benzema and Jordan weren’t spotted together publicly until last year’s Ballon d’Or ceremony, where the former Real Madrid man scooped the prestigious gong.
With the 35-year-old having left the Bernabeu for Al-Ittihad earlier this month, Jordan has now spoken about their relationship in an interview with YoDona.
Chatting about how they got together, the model admitted that she didn’t even know he was a big star.
She revealed: “When I met Karim I didn’t really know who he was.

“I cried like a child. I am very sentimental. […] I have investigated a lot about this religion and I find it beautiful.

“I also read ‘The Sacred Path to Islam’ about a Christian who converts to Islam, like me. A truly precious book.”
