Kylian Mbappé took to Instagram to share a touching birthday message for his younger brother Ethan, who turned 18 on December 29.
The milestone celebration comes shortly after Kylian’s own 26th birthday.
Alongside a photo of the siblings playing basketball, the Paris Saint-Germain star wrote: “Happy birthday little brother, the majority 18 years! Time flies so quickly, you are officially a big boy now, the best for you forever. Big love.
Ethan, who has been sidelined from the court since late September, received not only warm wishes but also a deep acknowledgment of their bond.
The message underscores the strong familial ties between the two brothers, often displayed both publicly and privately.
During a recent interview with Clique, Kylian spoke candidly about his unwavering support for Ethan, revealing the lengths he would go to ensure his brother’s happiness.
What Real represented for me, his childhood dream, was PSG.
But indirectly, it was me who took that away from him.
Well, it wasn’t me, but I felt it like that.
I was always apologizing to him.
He would say to me: ‘No, no, what they did to you, I don’t want to stay,'” Kylian explained.
The French star further shared that he had once been willing to sacrifice his own dreams of playing for Real Madrid to accommodate Ethan’s aspirations.
If he had said to me: ‘Kylian, it really weighs on me,’ I would have given up my dream of Madrid and I would have stayed for him,” he added, emphasizing the depth of his love and devotion to his younger sibling.
This heartfelt confession illustrates the profound connection between the Mbappé brothers, with Kylian’s words showcasing his readiness to put family above all else.
The 18th birthday message stands as another example of the bond that defines their relationship, reinforcing the value of family in the life of one of football’s biggest stars.
