Benzema and Jordan Ozuna's relationship is reportedly over after two years as the Al Ittihad star is currently being linked to a new woman.

Karim Benzema and Jordan Ozuna’s whirlwind romance appears to have come to a dramatic end, with rumours swirling that their relationship has hit the rocks less than a year after Ozuna made a significant personal sacrifice for the French footballer. 

Reports claim that the 35-year-old American model has unfollowed Benzema, 37, on social media, sparking widespread speculation that their love story has fizzled out.

To add fuel to the fire, Jordan Ozuna, who gave birth to their child in 2023, revealed that she converted to Islam the same year—a bold gesture believed to be a sign of her deep affection for Benzema.

Speaking about her conversion in an emotional interview with El Mundo, Ozuna said, "I have converted to Islam. It was here in the Mosque of Madrid. They recite the Quran... It's a small and intimate ceremony. I cried like a child. I'm very sentimental."

Jordan further explained that her decision was not a fleeting one:

 “I have researched a lot about this religion and I find it beautiful. Everything I've read about it has touched me.

"During Ramadan I read the Quran and it made me cry. I also read 'The Sacred Path to Islam' about a Christian who converts to Islam, like me. A really beautiful book.” 

Ozuna's devotion to the Real Madrid legend and her faith seemed to strengthen their bond, but now there are rumours that the couple's relationship has allegedly crashed.

It is claimed that the cracks in their relationship started showing when Benzema was spotted in Mauritius last year, getting cosy with his ex-wife, Chloe de Launay, sparking rumours that he had moved on from Jordan.

This incident led to widespread speculation that the 36-year-old footballer was no longer in an exclusive relationship with Ozuna, despite their shared child.

Before this public outing, Benzema made headlines with a bizarre social media move—unfollowing everyone and deleting multiple photos from his Instagram, including a picture with Ozuna. 

This mysterious social media blackout raised eyebrows, especially when he returned to Instagram two months later, following just seven people—none of whom included Jordan.

Now, with reports suggesting that Ozuna has unfollowed Benzema as well, it appears that the romance between the two has indeed come to an end. 

As the footballer continues his successful career with Al Ittihad, it seems his personal life may be going through a period of transition, leaving fans and followers eagerly awaiting the next chapter in his love life.
