We've all seen the pics of Kourtney Kardashianpartying with her new man, boxer Younes Bendjima, but who IS he? Apart from being a boxer, obviously. What's his vibe? Does he like crisps? While we can't confidently reveal that last one, rest assured we have (almost) everything else covered.

Where is Younes Bendjima from, what's his vibe?

He was born in Algeria on May 5th 1993 (making him 23) and worked in his father’s restaurant before training as a boxer and he eventually went pro.

His mum lives in Paris, so he splits his time between France and New York, and he speaks Arabic, English and French. Clever.

How long has Younes Bendjima been dating Kourtney Kardashian?

We thought they had started seeing each other when they were snapped together in December 2016, but apparently they've been seeing each other since October! Well hidden, guys.

Where did Kourtney Kardashian and Younes Bendjima meet?

They met at Paris Fashion Week, and Younes was with Kourtney and her sister Khloe when Kim’s apartment was raided by armed burglars.

A source told The Sun: "It’s early days for them but they are enjoying each others’ company."

Apparently a lot of it is to do with exacting revenge on ex Scott Disick, who brought his latest fling on a family holiday to Costa Rica.

"Why even take that risk?" Kourtney railed, on the episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians that showed her finding out. "It’s almost like he wants me to know."

She continued: "I’m just thinking about all the guys I’m going to f*ck when I get home."

Who else has Younes Bendjima dated?

He's was dating model Jourdan Dunn for a year after they met at the Met Gala in 2015 in May. They split in October 2016, and a week later, he met Kourtney.

Is Younes also a model?

As well as a boxer, Younes was also approached by a modelling scout in 2011, and has since walked the catwalk for Givenchy as well as modelling for Hermes, Calvin Klein, Burberry and Ralph Lauren. He's signed to Next Model Management.
