Kylian Mbappe and the French national team face off against Spain today in Dallas, competing for a coveted spot in the World Cup final. While the talented forward typically keeps his personal life under wraps, rumors suggest he has been in a relationship with Spanish actress Ester Exposito, sparking curiosity among fans eager to learn more about her.
Event Context
Tonight in Dallas, France, a two-time World Cup champion, will take on Spain for a chance to advance to the final, where they could face either England or Argentina. In related news, reports surfaced in late February about the two reportedly sharing a dinner, with a viral photo allegedly capturing them kissing on the rooftop of the upscale Pullman Madrid Hotel. While the image gained significant attention, neither party has publicly acknowledged their relationship.
Player Focus
Dating rumors between Kylian Mbappe and Exposito began circulating in March, as reported by Just Jared, when they were spotted getting into the same vehicle during Paris Fashion Week. They were photographed together once more in April, but at that time, their relationship status remained ambiguous, leaving fans questioning if they were just friends.
Further speculation arose when the two were seen displaying affection during Mbappe’s recovery from an injury earlier in the year. In May 2026, their relationship appeared to be confirmed as they were photographed enjoying a romantic getaway in Ibiza, where they were openly affectionate aboard a yacht.
