Spanish actress Ester Expósito is named as Kylian Mbappé’s new girlfriend amid intense romance rumors
Spanish actress Ester Expósito, recognized for her work in the Netflix series “Elite”, was appointed in April as the new love interest of French star Kylian Mbappé. Rumors of a possible relationship have gained strength in the media and among the player’s fans.
Recently, an image of the two together, where they appear to be close and exchanging glances, circulated intensely, further fueling speculation about a romance. This appearance increased curiosity about the nature of the relationship between the football star and the actress.
Many knew Ester for her remarkable role as Carla in the production “Elite”, where she stood out as one of the most sought after Spanish actresses on the internet. Her sudden fame brought media harassment that led her to take a career break, seeking greater privacy.
However, since the beginning of April this year, the 26-year-old actress’ name has returned to the spotlight, gaining notoriety particularly in France, following news that she was dating Kylian Mbappé, the renowned French national team player.
Expectations are high to see if the actress will be in the stands at the FIFA World Cup, which started on June 11, to support Mbappé. The speculation surrounding his possible support for the athlete adds a chapter to the coverage of the event.
Since 2024, Mbappé has defended the colors of Real Madrid, and Madrid is, coincidentally, Ester’s hometown. The Spanish sports newspaper “Marca” reported that the couple seemed to be in sync at a party at the “10e Ciel” bar, located on the top floor of the Hotel Pullman, in Paris.

Since then, both the actress and the athlete have been constant targets of paparazzi, but neither of them has made any official statement about their love life. This posture of silence is consistent with their behavior.
Kylian Mbappé has always adopted a discreet stance regarding his private life, avoiding exposing his relationships. Likewise, Esther Expósito learned to deal with the costs of fame and chose to keep her personal life out of the spotlight.
The actress has already expressed that her satisfaction lies in her artistic career, not in her popularity. “I never wanted to be famous. I thought it would be good to be able to make a living from acting, but becoming famous was not an option,” she told Spanish newspaper El País in October 2023. She also mentioned: “In the beginning, with the help of my parents, I was fine. But now the situation is starting to become a burden.” This preference for privacy and the search for a purpose in acting, rather than fame, contextualizes Expósito’s silence, showing that the discretion regarding the relationship is not merely an absence of information, but rather a conscious life choice that aligns with Mbappé’s, indicating a possible synergy in their approaches to public life.
However, at the beginning of June, when asked about her relationship with the player by the media outlet LeLent during the Monte Carlo Television Festival, she confirmed that she already knew Kylian Mbappé before the meeting and, at the same time, denied the rumors spread on social media.
