At this year's Olympic soccer tournament in Paris, French international Kilian McBarbie raised eyebrows with his unique attitude. The 25-year-old striker not only competed, but also surprisingly turned down an offer to be a torchbearer for the opening ceremony. According to the French team newspaper, McBarbie was scheduled to be the tail 21 torchbearer but declined due to the need to recuperate after the European tournament. Meanwhile, the media reported his romance with 34-year-old model Dani Grace Almeida in Miami, USA, where the pair appeared to be embroiled in a sibling affair.
McBarbie's refusal to be a torchbearer after his summer move from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to Real Madrid came as a surprise, even though the Galacticos opted out of the Olympics in order to avoid overworking for the new season. The star seems to be more obsessed with his personal life, putting national glory on the back burner.
According to Page 6, McBarbie's relationship with Dani Grace Almeida is getting closer as they enjoy romantic vacations together in Miami, strolling on the beach, and hanging out at high-end restaurants, nightclubs and bowling alleys. McBarbie has also been rumored to be involved with transgender model Ines Rau and Belgian model Rose Bertram, which has also put his personal life in the spotlight.
The internet can't help but speculate on why McBarbie always connects with such special women. The French striker's tastes always seem to be unique.
