The woman, often referred to as the ‘most beautiful girl in the world’ due to a renowned photo from her childhood, has recently shared insights into her health issues.
Thylane Blondeau became widely recognized at the age of six following a photograph that captured her striking blonde hair and blue eyes. This image played a pivotal role in launching her successful modeling career.
Blondeau began her journey on the runway at just three years old, when she was noticed by fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier at the Champs-Élysées.
Now at 24, Blondeau has been candid about her experiences since gaining fame from that iconic image.
She has also revealed a painful health struggle that required surgical intervention.
The daughter of footballer Patrick Blondeau, she disclosed that in 2020 she underwent surgery to address an ovarian cyst that had ruptured.
She shared her experience through photographs taken from her hospital bed on Instagram.
The model recounted having had surgery three months prior but experiencing a resurgence of pain.
She revealed: “At the beginning everyone (and I ofc) thought it was because of the operation.”
“This year I saw three different gynaecologists, I’ve seen more than 4 radiology centers in Paris and all of them said the same thing, “don’t worry U have nothing it’s all in your head.”
Eventually, she was compelled to visit the ER due to unbearable pain.
Upon arrival, she was initially informed: “They said that everything was fine and that I had a lil cyst and I will have to do a check up in 2-3 months.”
However, at a subsequent appointment, Blondeau learned of a more serious condition.
“The day after this I had this appointment with an amazing doctor who directly saw that I had a cyst of 5,6 cm who was touching my ovary,” she recounted.
“So he sent me to do an IRM and an hour after this the doctor called me and ask me to go straight to the hospital to do an emergency operation.”
Blondeau expressed feeling ‘crazy’ for the persistent complaints about her stomach pain, only to discover the underlying issue was indeed significant.
“Today I’m finally feeling better I’m finally feeling free I really thought I was crazy for complaining about my stomach for so long,” she stated. “Happy that I’ve never gave up.”
She emphasized the importance of listening to one’s body and advocating for oneself.
“From this experience I’ve learned that when your body hurts, don’t let it slide and take care of it,” she advised.
“You must see different doctors until some of them find the problem and heals it. Any pain even the little ones can hide something way more important.”
