While the Miss France 2024 competition is due to take place this weekend, many athletes have been in a relationship with a beauty queen. This was particularly the case of Hatem Ben Arfa, who had succumbed to the charms of Iris Mittenaere.
Completely rediscovered during his time at OGC Nice, where he undoubtedly delivered his best career season with no less than 17 goals and 6 assists in Ligue 1, Hatem Ben Arfa, on the other hand, experienced hell in Paris . Long reduced to a replacement role by Unai Emery, the former Marseillais was then removed from the group after a disparaging remark about Nasser Al-Khelaïfi in the presence of the emir.
The international tricolor could therefore allow himself a few nighttime outings without them causing any consequences. At the beginning of 2018, he spent a wild night in a Parisian nightclub in the company of Iris Mittenaere, former Miss France, recently separated from Kev Adams and whose face “suddenly lit up” as soon as his gaze met that of Hatem Ben Arfa, according to Public. To the point that she had completely abandoned her friends.
And it wasn’t a one night stand. A few weeks later, Closer confirmed the rapprochement between the two stars, with a photo of a kiss as proof. Hatem Ben Arfa and the former Miss Universe would continue to date for some time before their romance ended.
