French model Loli Bahia has arrived in Huelva for a summer break, connecting with her family roots in Spain after touring with singer Rosalia.
The runway star, who forms part of Rosalia's inner circle, has spent several days in the southern Spanish province following months of romantic speculation. Her visit marks a return to her paternal heritage in Andalusia during a period of intense public interest.
Bahia accompanied the artist across multiple legs of her recent concert tour. The pair shared numerous moments together on social media, including a viral joke Bahia made online after Rosalia finished her concert dates in Argentina.
Multicultural roots in Lyon
Born Loli-Bahia Roubille in Lyon in 2002, the model grew up in a multicultural household. Her father is Spanish, with family originating from Andalusia, while her mother is of Algerian descent. Bahia has maintained close ties to Spain since childhood, visiting whenever her career schedule permits.
Before entering fashion, Bahia pursued artistic and athletic interests. She spent years studying music theory and trombone at the Lyon Conservatory, alongside playing competitive volleyball. Industry observers note that her music background aligns with her shared creative interests with Rosalia.
Runway success and acting debut
Bahia's modeling career began unexpectedly as a teenager when she accompanied a friend to a scout contest for young models and was discovered herself. She made her runway debut for Louis Vuitton at age 17 and quickly became a staple of major fashion weeks in Paris, Milan, and New York.
Over recent years, Bahia has walked for prominent fashion houses including Chanel, Prada, Versace, Gucci, Saint Laurent, Loewe, and Valentino. She has starred in major international advertising campaigns and served as the face of Yves Saint Laurent Beauty.
Beyond fashion, Bahia made her acting debut with a minor role in the historical drama film Jeanne du Barry, which starred Johnny Depp. The film expanded her profile beyond international runways into feature cinema.
Global sightings with Rosalia
Speculation surrounding Bahia and Rosalia began late last year after the pair were spotted together in major cities worldwide. Photographers have captured them in Paris, Rio de Janeiro, Madrid, and Buenos Aires.
Neither Bahia nor Rosalia has publicly defined the nature of their relationship, opting to keep their private lives away from media scrutiny. According to reports, Bahia's current stay in Huelva represents a quiet retreat to her Andalusian roots amid the highest media exposure of her career.
