Renowned actress Ester Exposito, best known for her role in Netflix’s ‘Elite’, has finally spoken out regarding ongoing rumours about her relationship with Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe. The 26-year-old star was recently spotted in the VIP section at the Santiago Bernabeu during the Madrid derby between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, sparking further speculation about her connection with the World Cup-winning footballer. She had previously been seen flying to Paris alongside Mbappe.

Exposito’s presence at the high-profile La Liga clash on March 22 did not go unnoticed. She was accompanied by her ‘Elite’ co-star Sergio Momo and a close friend. Her attendance at the Bernabeu reignited talk of a possible romance between her and the French international, with fans and media outlets abuzz with speculation.

Reports suggest that Mbappe has admired Exposito for quite some time. Allegedly, the Real Madrid star reached out to her through social media, using his teammate Vinicius Junior’s friendship with Exposito—who hails from Madrid—as an introduction.

According to celebrity gossip in Spain, Mbappe and Exposito are said to have enjoyed a romantic getaway in Paris earlier this year. Sources claim they went on their first date in February 2026, shortly after Valentine’s Day, and were later seen arriving in the French capital together on a private jet. They reportedly stayed at a luxury hotel during their trip.

Both Mbappe and Exposito have chosen not to publicly comment on their alleged relationship, preferring to keep their personal lives private. Observers have described their approach—avoiding confirmation but being seen together—as a typical strategy in the entertainment world.

Exposito was recently questioned about her rumoured romance with the Real Madrid forward. She attended pop star Rosalia’s concert at the Movistar Arena in Madrid on March 30, where she found herself surrounded by reporters as she left the venue. When asked about the performance, Exposito praised it as “brilliant” and “amazing”.

Given her cheerful mood, members of the press took the opportunity to ask about Mbappe. When questioned if she enjoyed football—especially after attending Real Madrid’s 3-2 victory over Atletico Madrid—she smiled and replied in a video shared by Hola magazine, “To be honest, not really.”

Asked about the match itself, Exposito laughed and said it had gone well. A journalist then suggested that she and Mbappe seemed to make a good pair and could be happy together. Exposito chuckled before teasingly replying, “I’m not going to say anything.” She concluded the interaction by saying she was “super” when asked if she was happy with her life, both personally and professionally.

Mbappe, meanwhile, has maintained his usual discretion regarding his private life. The French star often prefers to speak about his close family ties, including his parents, brother Ethan, and nephews. He has previously been linked to model Stella Maxwell and Monaco royal Camille Gottlieb, daughter of Princess Stephanie of Monaco, though neither relationship was ever confirmed.

On the professional front, Mbappe continues to chase both team and individual milestones. During the recent international break, he added to his goal tally for France, reaching 56 goals for Les Bleus—just one behind Olivier Giroud’s record. For Real Madrid, the 27-year-old has scored an impressive 38 goals in 35 appearances this season. He is set to return to La Liga action against Mallorca on Saturday before taking on Harry Kane’s Bayern Munich in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final, a match eagerly awaited by football fans worldwide.
