As the 2026 FIFA World Cup gathers momentum, the personal life of French football star Kylian Mbappe has continued to attract attention alongside his performances on the pitch.
Recent reports have linked Mbappe with Spanish actress Ester Exposito. Although neither has publicly confirmed the relationship, media speculation has remained strong.
In a recent interview with a French publication, Exposito spoke about dealing with public attention and the lack of privacy that comes with fame.
“I’m getting used to it,” she said, adding that scrutiny over her personal life has been constant since her breakthrough role in the TV show Elite.
The actress explained that she values her privacy and does not enjoy having her personal life become a topic of public discussion.

However, reports indicate that the footballer and Exposito had reportedly vacationed together last month, and there is no confirmed evidence linking those rumors to the current World Cup campaign.
Mbappe has chosen not to respond publicly to the speculation and has instead remained focused on France’s preparations for the tournament.
