Iris Mittenaere and Antoine Dupont stepped out together in the stands of the Stade de France in Saint-Denis on Sunday, October 25, to watch the historic regular-season NFL matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New Orleans Saints, according to Gala.
Stade de France Tribunes Host the NFL Debut
The high-profile appearance brought the former Miss Universe and the French rugby star side-by-side into the public eye for the league’s landmark game in France. The fixture featured the Pittsburgh Steelers against the New Orleans Saints, drawing a packed crowd to the Saint-Denis venue. Beyond the action on the gridiron, Nigerian singer Burna Boy delivered the halftime entertainment.
NFL Roger Goodell described bringing a regular-season game to Paris as a dream turned reality, opening the door to potential future collaborations in the French capital, Eurosport reported. Amid the sports executives and entertainment acts, Mittenaere and Dupont watched the proceedings from the stadium seating rather than hiding from the cameras.
Social Media Confirmation Follows Months of Speculation
Their public outing at the NFL fixture marks another milestone in a relationship that spent more than a year under media scrutiny before its official confirmation. Rumors initially swirled following joint appearances at high-profile gatherings such as the Cannes Film Festival and Roland-Garros. In August 2026, the couple ended months of speculation by sharing photographs from a vacation in Sardinia on social media.
Before that digital reveal, the pair dropped subtle hints across their respective channels. Observers frequently tracked them visiting identical locations, including a beach day at Canet-en-Roussillon, while Dupont routinely posted pictures featuring Mittenaere’s dogs. Despite the steady stream of overlapping appearances, neither star issued explicit statements about their romance until their simultaneous summer posts.
Shared Time Between Glamour Events and the Southwest
Since making their relationship public, the couple has balanced rigorous athletic commitments with high-society excursions. In September 2026, they took a romantic trip to the Château de Versailles. At the same time, their bond has grown deeply rooted in Dupont’s home territory. Mittenaere has spent significant periods in the Southwest of France, the region where the rugby player grew up.
That regional connection has extended into public-facing events as well. In June, Mittenaere organized a sports-focused gathering for her social media subscribers in the area. Having previously kept their romance private, the pair now frequently attends major public events side by side.
Unresolved Questions Surrounding Future Appearances
While the couple has shed their previous discretion regarding public outings, neither Mittenaere nor Dupont has outlined their schedule for upcoming public appearances or shared whether they plan to attend further international sporting fixtures together.
