Personal life

Tillie was born in Cagnes-sur-Mer, France. He is from an athletic family—his father Laurent was the head coach of the France men's national volleyball team during years, his mother Caroline played at the professional and Olympic levels (as did Laurent), his older brother Kim played college basketball with the Utah Utes and now does professionally in Europe and with France, and his younger brother Killian currently plays on a two-way contract with the NBA's Memphis Grizzlies and its G League affiliate, the Memphis Hustle.

In July 2017, he married Anna Diakiewicz. On 3 January 2020, they welcomed their first daughter, Olivia.

Career

After many appearances with the junior and youth national teams, Tillie debuted for the senior French national team at the 2012 FIVB Volleyball World League, where the French team finished in seventh place.[1]

In Tillie's collegiate career, he started his career at Thompson Rivers University in Canada for two years while getting his papers processed to move to the United States. He made the All-Canadian Team honors averaging 4.41 kills per set.

After getting his paperwork done, Tillie transferred to the University of California, Irvine Anteaters for the 2012 and 2013 seasons. Tillie was instrumental to UC Irvine as they made back to back NCAA championship runs those two years. Tillie earned AVCA All-American honors for both years.

In 2015, moved to Polish club ZAKSA Kędzierzyn-Koźle.[2] On October 18, 2015, French national team, including him, achieved title of the European Champion 2015 (3–0 with Slovenia in the finale).[3]

On April 26, 2016, he won with ZAKSA Kędzierzyn-Koźle a title of 2016 Polish Champion.[4] In May 2016, he extended his contract till 2017.[5] In May 2017, Tillie signed a contract with another Polish club Jastrzębski Węgiel and he wanted to continue his career in PlusLiga.[6] In early August 2017, Kevin Tillie informed Jastrzębski Węgiel about his plans to moving to Chinese league despite the currently signed contract with them. The club did not want to cancel their agreement and applied to FIVB on blocking unprofessional situations when a player wants to void already signed contract without previous fulfillment.[7]
