Rose Bertram denies having an affair with Mbappe

She made a lengthy statement on social media, while also accusing internet “bullies” of making comments about her

Stephanie Rose Bertram took to social media on Monday to deny reports that she had an affair with Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe.

The 28-year-old model has two daughters with former Ajax and PSG defender Gregory van der Wiel, but the couple separated last year.

Bertram wrote a lengthy statement on Instagram to criticize the media and say that she was a victim of “online bullying”.

Rose Bertram’s full statement regarding the Mbappe rumors

“I normally don’t respond to rumors, but there is a line that I won’t allow to be crossed,” Bertram wrote.

“Last week, lies were spread about me that caused serious hurt to my family, myself, and those around me.”

“2023 started for me with hate and online bullying; unfortunately, it is an ugly picture of how our world is becoming.”

“Nothing that has been said, written, or spoken is true in any way.”

“The truth cannot come from a stranger who knows nothing about my life and hides behind a screen.”

“The worst part is that there are people who believe these absurd things, even though there is no evidence for what is being said about me, and there are many lies that are destroying my image and reputation.”

“In a world where we are watched, clicked on, and liked in every way, we sometimes forget that we are still human and that online bullying can unfortunately destroy lives.”

“So I felt that I needed to speak out, because if we let everyone say whatever they want to say, we have to start thinking that this is normal. There are many people dealing with this, and it is a very bad thing.”

Rose Bertram cheered for Mbappe at the World Cup

During this period, there were reports that Mbappe was dating Bertram, and these rumors were confirmed because of a photo posted on Instagram by designer Eli Mizrahi.

The Belgian model was in Qatar for the World Cup and reportedly dedicated several messages to the French star, who led his team to the final, where he lost to Argentina on penalties.

These reports of a possible relationship with Mbappe came at the same time as claims that he was dating transgender model Ines Rau.
