Kamoun, the daughter of French Olympic swimmer Marc Kamoun, was born on 8 June 1967. She joined swimming club CS Clichy 92 and saw success in 1983 where she won the French 50 m freestyle and a French relay title. She later competed at the 1983 Mediterranean Games in Casablanca and won the 100 m freestyle and the 4 × 100 m freestyle relay.
In 1993, Kamoun retired from individual swims and was credited with 26 French swimming titles throughout her career.[3] The following year, Francis Luyce, the president of the French Swimming Federation, brought Kamoun on to handle communications.[4] She later became a communications director at Nike, Inc. in France.[3]
Kamoun met Stephen Roche, the 1987 Tour de France winner, at the 2001 Tour de France and they later began a relationship.[9] The couple moved to Paris in summer of 2002 and live with Kamoun's son from a previous relationship.[9]
