The duo walked the red carpet holding hands in front of international media, a scene that ended months of controversy surrounding the nature of their relationship, and their harmony was clearly evident in their first official appearance together.

This coincided with the premiere of Khedri's new film, "13 Days, 13 Nights," directed by Martin Bourboulon, which chronicles the withdrawal of French forces from the Afghan capital, Kabul, in the summer of 2021, following the Taliban's return to power.

The film was screened outside the official competition and is scheduled to be shown in cinemas in late June.

While Lynn Khoudri shined as the film's heroine, Benzema stole the spotlight with his unusual appearance on the artistic scene, as he rarely appears at events of this kind.

French media outlets, including Vogue, described the moment as one of the highlights of the evening, as their appearance together was a surprise that caught the attention of the media and followers.

This appearance is considered one of the most prominent public events in Benzema's personal life, outside of the football field, especially since he chose a high-profile artistic occasion to reveal its details.
