About
Jordan Ozuna is an American model and social-media personality who first drew global attention in 2013 when photographs linked her to pop superstar Justin Bieber. Today, the Maryland-born influencer combines runway and editorial projects with a growing online presence, sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses of motherhood, fashion shoots, and philanthropic work. Now in her mid-thirties, she is known for a laid-back charm that contrasts sharply with the tabloid frenzy that often surrounds her relationships. Ozuna’s career has taken her from Las Vegas restaurants to high-profile campaigns and red carpets—including the 2022 Ballon d’Or gala, where she appeared on the arm of French footballer Karim Benzema.
Before Fame
Ozuna spent a nomadic childhood, moving with her family to Hawaii and Guam before settling back on the U.S. mainland. After graduating high school she relocated to Las Vegas, where shifts as a Hooters waitress paid the bills while she explored modeling. Those early jobs honed her customer-service skills—confidence, quick conversation, and the ability to stay poised under pressure—that later proved invaluable on photo sets. Her first steady exposure came from promotional work for a leading Las Vegas nightclub, giving her both industry contacts and a taste of the spotlight.
Trivia
- From wings to runways: Fans still mention her Hooters days, but Ozuna playfully notes that the uniform taught her posture and stamina—handy when standing in heels for hours on-set.
- Faith journey: In 2023 she quietly converted to Islam after studying the religion during Ramadan, describing the ceremony at Madrid’s central mosque as “deeply emotional.”
- Media literacy advocate: Years of gossip columns pushed her to speak out about cyber-bullying; in interviews she urges followers to “check sources before believing every headline.”
- Motherhood over metrics: Although her Instagram following tops 300 k, she often disappears from social media for “digital sabbaticals” to focus on family.
- Hidden talents: A self-professed foodie, she says Sriracha is a pantry staple—plus she hopes to master French so she can chat with Benzema’s relatives without an interpreter.
Family Life
Jordan married Daniel Ozuna in her early twenties; the pair later separated but remain on cordial terms. Her most public romance began in summer 2022, when she and Ballon d’Or winner Karim Benzema confirmed they were dating. They welcomed their first child together on 28 April 2023 at Ruber Clinic in Madrid, an event she kept private until Spanish magazine Semana leaked the news. While adjusting to life as a new mother, Ozuna praised Benzema’s support and credited their shared faith for strengthening their bond.
By early 2025, however, eagle-eyed fans noticed she had unfollowed the striker on Instagram, sparking breakup rumors. Sports outlets reported that the two were living in separate cities, and Benzema was seen vacationing with his ex-wife. Ozuna has not publicly addressed the speculation, choosing instead to post positive content about parenthood and mental-health advocacy.
