Camille Tytgat: Raphaël Varane's Wife, Age and Children

Camille Tytgat is the wife of Raphaël Varane, the French World Cup winner who played for Real Madrid and Manchester United before retiring in 2024. The couple met at school as teenagers, married in Le Touquet on 20 June 2015 and have three children: Ruben, Anaïs and Elena.

As of November 2026, Varane is 33, retired from playing and working off the pitch, most visibly as a board member at Como in Italy. Camille stays out of the spotlight, which is why so many people search for her age, her height and her children. In this article OhMyFootball sets out what is actually documented about Camille Tytgat, and corrects several claims this page used to carry.

Who is Raphaël Varane's wife?

Raphaël Varane is married to Camille Tytgat. They have been together since their teens: the French celebrity site Purepeople wrote in 2022 that it was love at first sight at lycée (secondary school), and the Daily Mirror described her in 2021 as his childhood sweetheart, whom he reportedly met at school. At that time Raphaël was a teenager at RC Lens, the club that trained him before he left for Real Madrid in 2011, aged 18.

By December 2022, Purepeople noted, they had been together for more than ten years. No separation has ever been reported, and as far as is publicly known they are still married in November 2026.

The wedding in Le Touquet

Raphaël and Camille married on 20 June 2015 in Le Touquet, on the coast of the Pas-de-Calais in northern France. Raphaël was 22 and had just finished his fourth season at Real Madrid. According to La Voix du Nord, as reported by Purepeople, the civil ceremony took place at the town hall and the religious ceremony at the Sainte-Jeanne-d'Arc church, with a gospel group hired for the occasion. The celebration was held at the Villa Haec Otia.

It was a family wedding, not a celebrity one: according to Purepeople, Real Madrid teammates such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema were not among the guests. In an interview with Le Journal du Dimanche a few months later, Raphaël said that about 130 people attended, that he had wanted to avoid the celebrity side of things, and that the town hall and the church had stressed him more than playing in front of 80,000 people. He also admitted that he danced all night, to the surprise of his family, to a lot of music from the French Caribbean (his father is from Martinique).

On their fifth anniversary, in June 2020, Raphaël shared a photo of the two of them in their wedding outfits:

Two years later, on 20 June 2022, he was back in Le Touquet and posted a selfie of the couple on the beach with the caption, in French, "Il y a 7 ans, on se disait oui" ("Seven years ago, we said yes").

Who is Camille Tytgat?

Camille Tytgat is a French woman best known as Raphaël Varane's wife. She is not a public figure in her own right: she has no public career in the media, and we could not find any interview she has given. Almost every photo of her that circulates comes from her husband's Instagram account or from photographers at France matches.

She has followed Raphaël through his career: Madrid during his ten seasons at Real, and Manchester after his move to United in 2021.

In July 2021, a few weeks before his transfer to Manchester United, Raphaël posted the photo above with the caption "Date night with Madame Varane".

Camille Tytgat age and birthday

Camille Tytgat's date of birth has never been confirmed by a reliable source. This page used to give 10 September 1993, a date that circulates on biography websites, but none of them cites a source, so we have removed it, along with the zodiac sign that was built on it.

What is documented is that she and Raphaël met at lycée, which suggests she is roughly his age. Raphaël was born on 25 April 1993 in Lille, so he is 33 in November 2026, and Camille is most likely in her early thirties too.

Camille Tytgat origin and nationality

Camille Tytgat is French. Beyond that, her hometown and family background have not been widely reported. What is known is that she met Raphaël at school while he was growing up in the north of France, where he was born in Lille and trained at RC Lens, and that the couple chose Le Touquet, on the Opal Coast, for their wedding.

Camille Tytgat family

Camille keeps her own family out of the public eye: we found no reliable source naming her parents or any siblings.

Her in-laws are better known. Raphaël's father comes from Martinique and his mother from Saint-Amand-les-Eaux, in the north of France. His sister, Annabelle Varane, was elected Miss Nord-Pas-de-Calais in 2018 and reached the last 12 of Miss France 2019. His younger half-brother, Jonathan Varane, is also a professional footballer, who came through RC Lens and signed for Queens Park Rangers in 2024.

Camille Tytgat education and career

This page used to say that Camille is a lawyer with a law degree who had taken a break to raise her children. We could only partly confirm that. In 2014, media such as the French magazine Closer and the Belgian daily Sudinfo described her as a law student who had followed Raphaël to Madrid, and in July 2021 the Daily Mirror headlined "Man Utd new boy Raphael Varane's wife is childhood sweetheart and trained lawyer". Camille has never spoken about her studies or her job in public, and no source shows that she has ever practised law, so "law student" is what is reported and "lawyer" remains unconfirmed.

Camille Tytgat and Raphaël Varane's children

Camille Tytgat and Raphaël Varane have three children, a son and two daughters:

Ruben Varane, born on 9 March 2017. He is 9 years old in November 2026.
Anaïs Varane, born on 25 October 2020. She turned 6 in October 2026.
Elena Varane, born in April 2023. Raphaël announced her birth on 17 April 2023. She is 3 years old in 2026.

The couple announced each pregnancy on Raphaël's Instagram. In May 2020 he posted a family photo with the caption, in French, that Ruben was going to become a big brother:

Anaïs was born in October 2020, at the end of what Raphaël called an intense weekend. A year later, by then in Manchester, Raphaël marked her first birthday on Instagram.

In October 2022 the couple announced a third baby with the line "Jamais 2 sans 3" (good things come in threes), and on 17 April 2023 Raphaël welcomed Elena with the caption "Welcome Elena !!".

Note that this page previously listed only two children. Elena's birth in 2023 is confirmed by Raphaël's own post and was reported by French media such as Purepeople.

Camille Tytgat as a football fan

Camille has been in the stands for some of the biggest nights of her husband's career. After France beat Morocco 2-0 in the World Cup semi-final in Qatar on 14 December 2022, Purepeople reported that Raphaël joined Camille, Ruben and Anaïs, who had come to watch him. She was pregnant with their third child at the time.

When Raphaël announced the end of his career in September 2024, Purepeople described Camille as the person who had been at his side for many years. In 2019 Bleacher Report described a summer he spent in Martinique, his father's homeland, with his wife and their son Ruben, then two years old.

What is Raphaël Varane doing in 2026?

As of November 2026, Raphaël Varane no longer plays, but he is busier than ever off the pitch:

Como 1907. He has sat on the board of the ambitious Italian club since October 2024, where the team is coached by Cesc Fàbregas (read about Fàbregas and his wife Daniella Semaan). In a club video published in July 2026, Como presents him as head of its educational board. That month Como restricted heading for its youngest academy players, a reform the news agency AFP and French media such as France-Antilles credited to Varane's influence.
Concussions. Since 2024, when he told L'Équipe that repeated head knocks had damaged his body, he has campaigned for children not to be taught heading.
Lens. On 31 August 2026 RC Lens renamed the large training pitch at its La Gaillette centre the "plaine Raphaël Varane". On 4 November 2026 Como beat Lens 9-1 in the Champions League at Bollaert, a night Lensois.com described as a special one for a Como board member who started out at Lens.
Young players. His free Stages Varane football camps for children, launched in 2019 in Martinique and the north of France, continue, and in April 2026 his association held the third girls-only edition.
Athletes' careers. In October 2026 he launched +FORT, an independent "Sport Office" that advises professional athletes on their career, their finances and their health, together with Guillaume Lucchini, founder of the wealth management firm Scala Patrimoine, and the orthopaedic surgeon Hervé Silbert.

In this Como 1907 video, Varane explains the club's youth heading rules and why young players need to be introduced to heading step by step:
