There are soccer players who play with their right foot, and there are others who play with their left foot. And then there is Ousmane Dembele, who uses both. Well, this is just one quality to make you acquainted with the French sensation. The Paris Saint-Germain forward is a total package. But today, the focus shifts away from his on-pitch prowess and falls on his personal life. Today, we introduce you to his wife Rima Edbouche and find out whether she is the mother of Dembele’s little ones.

Meet Ousmane Dembele’s wife Rima Edbouche

Rima Edbouche was born in 1999 in Douar Aghbalou, a southwestern piece of Morocco. However, other sources also claim that the 25-year-old was born in Castelfranco Veneto, Treviso, Italy. Growing up, her family decided to flee the North African country for France, where she lived the rest of her childhood. Interestingly, the same was true with Ousmane Dembele, whose roots can be traced back to African nations, including Mauritania, Senegal, and Mali. Rima was born to her father Brahim Edbouche and mother Fatima Bouzidane.

Unfortunately, there aren’t more details regarding the parents’ occupations or any information about siblings. Notably, just like Dembele, Edbouche also practices the Muslim religion. Following high school, she recently completed her graduation from the University of France—another under-detailed aspect of her life—and she pursued a career in modeling. It is believed that Rima has quite a remarkable social media presence, especially on TikTok. But surprisingly, she doesn’t have an Instagram account.

While major details about Rima Edbouche are out of the dark, let’s know their relationship story and how they met.

How many children does Dembele have with Rima Edbouche?

As per various sources, Ousmane Dembele and Rima Edbouche crossed paths with each other for the first time in France. The 25-year-old soccer star allegedly met his significant other during his time with his childhood club, Rennes, between 2010 and 2015, before he moved to Dortmund. Since then, they have kept their relationship so private that the news of Dembele tying the knot in 2021 sent shockwaves through the soccer world.

The biggest of the reasons was that instead of a lavish, grandeur ceremony, the winger held a private traditional Moroccan wedding with his close ones, not inviting any of his national or then-Barcelona teammates. Speaking of their children, the two share a daughter whose name is unknown. The little one was reportedly born on September 16, 2022, at a local hospital in Barcelona.

Moreover, just hours after his daughter’s birth, Dembele was seen playing in a La Liga fixture for the Catalans against Elche, which they won 3-0. Last season, Ousmane Dembele made a surprising move to France, where he, his wife, and their daughter live happily.
