Saint-Maurice-born footballer Leny Yoro, who is all set to sign a five-year contract with Manchester United, is undergoing a medical examination. He will soon play a significant role in the world’s renowned football team at the age of 18, which is a big achievement.
Well, it’s no wonder that his consistent effort, hard work, and playing skills paved the way for where he is today. But Leny personally appears to credit an almighty god for each of his triumphs, indicating that he is a theist.
First and foremost, Leny Yoro is a Christian by religion; a cross sign in his Instagram intro is evident. Likewise, he has also accompanied a cross sign with ‘#Goddid’ on his Instagram, flaunting his high belief in God.
The fact to be told, Leny uses ‘#Goddid’ in most of his Instagram posts, and one of the prime examples is he recently modeled for La Meute Agency and flaunted it with the caption, “ᴅʀᴇꜱꜱɪɴ’ᴜᴘ 📸#GodDid.”
Well, there is a song named, God Did by DJ Khaled, but I do not think Yoro is referencing that song in most of his Instagram posts.
Leny Yoro’s mother, Flore Baugnies, raised him in a Christian household alongside his siblings
Since his professional football debut in 2022, Leny Yoro hasn’t discussed his family background much in the media. It appears that his professional endeavors always overshadowed his personal life.
However, it’s been known that his mother is a Lille native, Flore Baugnies. According to her Facebook information, she currently lives in Villeneuve-d’Ascq.
Further, Flore’s Facebook page clearly shows the upbringing of emerging football star Leny Yoro, who grew up following the Christian religion with his three younger brothers, Romeo, Eden, and Esteban.
Little information about Leny Yoro’s father is known, but many sources claim that he is of Ivorian descent.
On December 25, 2017, Flore shared a picture of her four sons, including Leny, on her Facebook. She captioned it, “Merry Christmas to everyone 🎄🎁🎅.”
