Ryan Leslie has been together with the beautiful Kenza Fourati for some time now. Kenza, a Muslim model from Tunisia is not only perfectly proportioned with porcelain doll-like features, but she’s as intelligent as her Harvard graduating boyfriend.
EXCLUSIVE: Supermodel Kenza Fourati: “I Come From A Family Of Women, Women Are Very Powerful”
Considering Ryan got a perfect score on the SATs, it’s not surprising that his better half would be able to bring just as much to the table. Ryan sat down with GlobalGrind and opened up about his relationship with Kenza as well as why he’s so inspired by her. Check it out below.
GlobalGrind: Your girlfriend, Kenza Fourati, is the first practicing Muslim swimsuit model. How do you feel about her involvement in politics and the fact that she’s so globally aware?
Ryan Leslie: I’m inspired by her patriotism. I mean it’s really inspirational. She has an iPhone that’s full of probably every news and journalism application that exists; but not only on English, but also in French and Arabic.
She has an incredible legacy in her home country. There are statues of her great Uncle around her home county, her mother is extremely outspoken and an incredible woman who serves on the board, I believe, of both the Carthage and the Cannes Film Festivals and is on the selection committee for the Cannes Film Festival. She is a producer of documentary films, including one that is showing in New York currently.
I think that the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree in that regard, and her grandfather being one of the first surgeons to perform successful open heart surgery.
Her legacy is just so amazing and incredible, and I believe she has a sense of commitment and a sense of responsibility to her family, to her county, to be the best rep she can be. I think she actually just got nominated by two divisions, as one of the personalities of the year. I think that this is something that’s internal, and I believe that it’s incredible, and for me, and I believe that its extremely inspirational.
