Sandra Tolisso: Who Is Corentin Tolisso's Wife?

Sandra Tolisso is the wife of Corentin Tolisso, the French midfielder who won the 2018 World Cup and who, as of November 2026, captains Olympique Lyonnais. She has been at his side since at least 2018, when photo agencies pictured her in the stands at the World Cup in Russia, and in 2022 she was photographed with him and their daughter at the Allianz Arena in Munich.

Sandra has never looked for attention, and much of what you will read about her online is guesswork. In this article, OhMyFootball sets out what can actually be checked about Sandra Tolisso, with dates and sources, and clearly separates it from what has never been made public. Everything here is up to date as of November 2026.

Who is Corentin Tolisso's wife?

Corentin Tolisso's wife is Sandra Tolisso. The first public trace of the couple dates from the 2018 World Cup, where agencies photographed her in the stands from the group stage onwards. On 6 July 2018, for example, a Bestimage photo published by Purepeople showed "Sandra (compagne de Corentin Tolisso)", meaning his partner, in the stands for France's 2-0 quarter-final win over Uruguay in Nizhny Novgorod. Not every agency agreed on her first name: Getty Images and AFP captions from the 2018 World Cup named her Sarah, his girlfriend, while Bestimage, ABACA and, in 2022, dpa used Sandra.

Nine days later, France were world champions. When the squad was received at the Élysée Palace in Paris after the final, the French magazine Voici captioned a photo of "Sandra Tolisso et Marine, la femme et la sœur de Corentin Tolisso", in other words his wife Sandra and his sister Marine. The photo agencies covering the final the day before still called her his partner. In the same gallery, Voici also pictured other families of the squad, including Antoine Griezmann's wife, Erika Choperena.

The next well-documented moment came four years later, at the end of Tolisso's time at Bayern Munich. On 8 May 2022, after Bayern's 2-2 draw with VfB Stuttgart and the ceremony for the club's tenth Bundesliga title in a row, the German agency dpa photographed "Corentin Tolisso (FC Bayern Munich) with his wife Sandra and daughter" at the Allianz Arena. That was one of his last home games for Bayern before he returned to Lyon that summer.

When did Corentin Tolisso and Sandra get married?

The date and place of the wedding have never been made public. Neither Corentin nor Sandra has shared wedding photos that we could find, and no reliable outlet has reported the ceremony. What the sources show is that photo agencies still called her his partner at the World Cup final on 15 July 2018, and that by May 2022 dpa and other agencies were captioning her as his wife. Voici did call her Corentin's "femme" (wife) at the Élysée reception in July 2018, but agency captions from the same days still described her as his girlfriend, so that caption does not show they were already married.

Some websites give a wedding year or describe a private ceremony with close friends and family, but none of them cites a source, so we are not repeating those details. How and when Corentin and Sandra first met has not been made public either.

Are Corentin and Sandra Tolisso still together?

As far as is publicly known, yes. No separation has ever been reported, and neither of them has said anything to suggest one. The couple has simply kept its private life out of the media. In a Téléfoot interview in May 2026, Corentin said he felt good in his private life as well as in his professional life, according to Foot Mercato.

Who is Sandra Tolisso?

Sandra Tolisso is known to the public as the wife of Corentin Tolisso. She is not a celebrity, she does not appear to have a public social media presence, and we could not find a single interview she has given, in French or in any other language. What the public has seen of her comes almost entirely from photos taken at big football occasions: the 2018 World Cup, the Élysée reception that followed, and Bayern's title celebrations in 2022.

Unlike many profiles you will find online, we are not going to invent her personality, her hobbies or her measurements. Earlier versions of this article, like many WAG websites, gave a height, a weight and details of her school years that no source supports. They have been removed.

Sandra Tolisso age and birthday

Sandra Tolisso's age is not publicly known. Some websites claim she was born in 1994, the same year as Corentin, but none of them gives a source, and neither she nor her husband has ever mentioned her birthday. Corentin Tolisso himself was born on 3 August 1994, so he is 32 in November 2026.

Her origins and family background have not been made public. Her parents and any brothers or sisters have stayed completely out of the media, and we could not find a reliable source on where she was born or grew up.

Corentin's own roots are better documented. He was born in Tarare, in the Rhône department near Lyon. According to French Wikipedia, his father was born in Lomé, Togo, which made Corentin eligible to play for Togo. He chose France, explaining that he was born and grew up there. His father, Vincent, was with him on the pitch after the 2018 World Cup final, where a photo on Wikimedia Commons shows them holding the trophy together. In 2020, Paris Match described his mother as the director of two specialised care facilities near Lyon.

Yes. The couple have a daughter: the dpa photo from 8 May 2022 shows Corentin with "his wife Sandra and daughter" after the title ceremony at the Allianz Arena. The family has never made her name or her date of birth public, and we could not find a reliable report of any other children.

Corentin Tolisso's charity work

Away from football, Tolisso is known for his work with children and adults with disabilities. In August 2020, after scoring for Bayern in a 4-1 Champions League win over Chelsea, he celebrated with a Makaton sign that a boy with Down syndrome named Paul had taught him, keeping a promise he had made to him during the lockdown, as Paris Match reported.

He is also the president of Toliss'All, an association named after him that aims to give family carers a break by looking after the person they care for through leisure activities. On 24 May 2026, Toliss'All held the third edition of its inclusive tournament in L'Arbresle, the town of his childhood club, with teams made up of four players with a disability and four without.
