Who is Kylian Mbappé dating? This is his Spanish actress girlfriend Ester Expósito
Mbappé and Expósito have been seen together on several occasions since his move to Real Madrid, including trips across Europe.
Kylian Mbappé is rarely out of the headlines, whether for his exploits with France at the 2026 World Cup or his off-field endeavors. Recently, his love life has been getting plenty of attention because of his burgeoning romance with Spanish actress Ester Expósito.
The 27-year-old forward and Expósito, 26, have been mingling in the same circles following Mbappé’s move to Real Madrid in the summer of 2024. Neither has publicly confirmed the relationship, although numerous pictures that have appeared online seem to speak for themselves.
Sightings in Madrid and beyond
Expósito was in a VIP box at the Santiago Bernabéu for the Madrid derby in March and was asked about her interest in soccer, and Mbappé, after Rosalía’s concert in the Spanish capital a few days later.
“The truth is, I don’t really like it much, but the match was good,” the actress said of the sport. She was rather less revealing when it came to her possible relationship with the Madrid attacker. “I’m not going to say anything, but I’m doing great.”
Since then, Mbappé and Expósito have been snapped wining and dining and then bowling (yes, bowling) together in Paris. They have also managed a couple of romantic getaways, including trips to Ibiza and the infamous visit to Sardinia.
All of that suggests things are moving quickly, although questions remain about what might happen if France face Spain at the 2026 World Cup.
Who is Ester Expósito?
Expósito, who was born in Madrid in 2000, first appeared on screen in 2016 after previously taking acting classes and performing in theater as a youngster.
She has starred in a number of Spanish-language movies and TV series, the highest-profile of which is Netflix teen drama “Elite,” which ran for eight seasons between 2018 and 2024.
