Early Life and Education

Nabilla Leona Grange Benattia was born on February 5, 1992, in Ambilly, Haute-Savoie, France, near the Swiss border.

Her mother, Marie-Luce Grange, is of Swiss-Italian descent, and her father, Khoutir Benattia, is a French citizen of Algerian origin.

She grew up with her younger brother, Tarek Benattia, in Juvigny before moving to Geneva’s Eaux-Vives neighborhood after her parents’ separation when she was 13.

Primarily raised by her maternal grandmother, Livia Grange, Nabilla attended language studies in Geneva but left formal education early to pursue modeling. Her ethnicity is Algerian and Swiss-Italian, and she identifies as a “modern Muslim” since 2019.

Career

Nabilla Benattia began her career at 14, signing with a modeling agency and later winning Miss Geneva International Motor Show 2011 while working at the Peugeot stand.

At 17, she lied about her age to appear on TF1’s L’Amour est aveugle (2009), a reality show where participants meet in darkness.

Her breakthrough came in 2012 on Les Anges de la télé-réalité Season 4, filmed in Hawaii, where her relationship with Sofiane Tadjine-Lambert and his song “Dingue de toi (Nabi… Nabilla)” gained attention. Her iconic “non, mais allô quoi” line from Season 5 in Florida (2013) sparked a media frenzy, leading to brand campaigns and parodies.

Her fame propelled her to star in Hollywood Girls (2012–2014) as Nabilla Klein and launch her own reality show, Allô Nabilla (2013–2014), following her family in Los Angeles.

Despite mixed reviews, it ran for four seasons. She became a columnist on Touche pas à mon poste! in 2014 and published her autobiography Trop vite in 2016, a commercial success.

In 2017, she co-produced and starred in Les Incroyables Aventures de Nabilla et Thomas en Australie. By 2018, she launched Nabilla Beauty in France, expanding to the UAE in 2022, and ventured into hosting with Love Island France (2020) and Cosmic Love France (2023) on Amazon Prime.

Currently based in Dubai, Nabilla focuses on her beauty brand and selective media projects.

Her 2021 docu-reality Nabilla: Sans filtre on Amazon Prime detailed her life’s highs and lows, earning praise for its candor.

She appeared on Touche pas à mon poste! in February 2025, addressing her journey. Despite controversies, including a 2023 fine for misleading social media promotions, her influence as a top French influencer with over 7 million Instagram followers and her entrepreneurial success cement her as a polarizing yet enduring figure in French media.
