Late last night, an unexpected phone call shattered the calm inside Kylian Mbappé’s Madrid residence. The Real Madrid superstar, known for his composure and almost superhuman emotional control on and off the pitch, reportedly broke down in tears after receiving a call from his younger brother, Ethan. According to sources close to the family, Ethan delivered news so devastating that Mbappé was left speechless, sitting alone in silence for several minutes while teammates and staff attempted to reach him.
What exactly happened to their mother, Fayza Lamari, remains unclear — but insiders describe the situation as “serious enough to shake the entire family.” Ethan, who was with her at the time, was said to be trembling as he relayed the news to his brother. Witnesses overheard fragments of the conversation, describing Mbappé’s reaction as “the most emotional they had ever seen him.” For a player who has endured massive pressure, global scrutiny, and endless expectations since he was a teenager, this reaction suggests something far more personal and heart-wrenching than the public has been told.
Shortly after the call, Mbappé reportedly cancelled all engagements, including a scheduled team meeting at Valdebebas. Real Madrid staff who arrived at his home said he appeared pale, red-eyed, and unable to speak for several minutes. One staff member revealed that Mbappé kept repeating the same sentence in a whisper: “She didn’t tell me… why didn’t she tell me?” This single line has fueled waves of speculation across Spain and France.
Rumors suggest Fayza may have been dealing with a private medical issue that she concealed from her sons to avoid worrying them. Others believe an unexpected incident occurred, something no one in the family could have predicted. A source close to Mbappé revealed that Ethan sounded “terrified and deeply shaken” during the call, raising concerns that the situation may be more serious than a routine health scare.
What makes this even more mysterious is the family’s sudden silence. Fayza, normally outspoken and active on social media, has not posted anything for nearly 48 hours — an unusual break for a woman known for managing her sons’ careers with unwavering energy. Meanwhile, close friends of the family have been instructed “not to comment on anything at this time,” which only intensifies the sense of urgency around the situation.
Real Madrid, aware of the emotional toll on their star player, issued a brief internal memo expressing support but declined to make any public statement. Those who saw Mbappé at the training facility earlier this morning described him as physically present but mentally distant, walking slowly, avoiding eye contact, and speaking only when necessary. Several teammates reportedly approached him to offer comfort, but he simply nodded and stepped aside.
Adding to the mystery, Ethan was later seen at the airport, boarding a private flight believed to be heading toward Madrid. His expression appeared tense, eyes fixed downward, avoiding photographers. The fact that both brothers may soon reunite suggests that the family wants to come together quickly — a sign that the matter is far from minor.
Insiders also hint that Mbappé might request temporary leave from Real Madrid if the situation with his mother worsens. Though the club would undoubtedly approve, fans are anxiously waiting for clarity. Supporters across the globe have begun sending prayers and messages, but without official updates, worry continues to grow.
What exactly happened to Fayza? Why did Ethan sound so shaken? And what did Mbappé mean when he whispered, “She didn’t tell me”?
Those closest to the family insist the truth will emerge soon — but for now, the world only knows one thing: something serious has struck at the heart of the Mbappé family, and the superstar who usually carries the pressure of nations is now confronting a far heavier, deeply personal battle.
