Villarreal striker Nicolas Pépé, who plays professional football in Spain, is currently visiting Rwanda with his partner, Teanna Trump, on a special trip to celebrate his birthday.
Pépé, who turned 30 on May 29, 2025, chose to celebrate his big day in Rwanda, a country globally recognized for its eco-tourism, especially its mountain gorillas.
In photos and videos shared on their social media accounts, Nicolas Pépé and Teanna Trump appeared joyful and relaxed in the lush landscapes of Volcanoes National Park in Northern Rwanda, where they visited the iconic mountain gorillas—a key symbol of Rwanda’s tourism industry.
The visit comes just after Villarreal’s 4–2 victory over Sevilla in a match played last Sunday, leading some commentators to suggest that the star striker was rewarding himself with a well-deserved getaway.
While Pépé is widely known for his football career, Teanna Trump is a prominent adult film actress in the United States. Their relationship has attracted much attention on social media, with many highlighting it as an example of shifting global perceptions around love and entertainment.
Their Rwandan adventure could also be seen as a boost to Rwanda’s tourism sector, which has increasingly attracted international celebrities.
Although they haven’t revealed much about their broader itinerary in Rwanda, celebrity watchers speculate that their trip may have a deeper purpose beyond birthday celebrations—possibly to explore Rwanda’s culture and history.
