Kamoun is the son of Abdelwahab Kamoun, a Tunisian man who studied physical education and is currently a staff of the sports promotion program for both kids and young people known as Jeaunesse et Sports where he has worked for decades.

On the other hand, Karim’s mom has been identified as Raissa Kamoun. Born in Moscow Russia, Raissa works with the Ministry of Youth, Sports, and Physical Education as a professor.

Far from being the only child born to Abdelwahab and Raissa, Karim Kamoun spent his formative years alongside one sister who goes by the name Lilia Kamoun. Lilia works and earns a living as a dancer, though she was formerly a gymnast.
