Kylian Mbappé is at the center of Mbappé wife talk again, this time because he is reportedly linked to Ester Expósito. The pair have been associated with sightings from March through June, but the relationship is still being described as a rumour rather than a formal dating announcement.
Ester Expósito brings more than tabloid curiosity to the story. She is 26, has 24.2million Instagram followers, and said of Élite in 2020: "In two years, Élite has changed my life completely." Her visibility gives the rumours a wider audience than a routine celebrity sighting would attract.
March in Madrid
A photo on 22nd March showed Expósito in the stands during the LaLiga match between Real Madrid and Atletico de Madrid. That image set the timeline in motion, because it placed her in the orbit of Mbappé before the later reports from Paris, Madrid, Sardinia, Italy, and Ibiza, Spain.
In April, Hola reported that Mbappé and Expósito had been on a date to a bowling alley in Paris. Pictures later showed them hanging out in a car together in Madrid, then on a yacht in Sardinia, Italy in May, and finally in Ibiza, Spain before the start of the World Cup in June. The sequence makes this more than a one-off sighting; it reads like a sustained series of public glimpses across several months.
Élite to Mbappé
Expósito’s profile was built before the dating noise started. She began as a teenager in theatre productions, moved into smaller roles in Spanish TV series like Vis a Vis and Centro Médico, and then turned Carla Rosón Caleruega in Netflix’s Élite into the role that made her a household name. She was in Élite for three seasons, and she later said the show had made a before and after in her career.
Her work has kept expanding. She has appeared in Dante and The Talent, has upcoming credits in Baton and Death to Love, and was announced as Desigual Global Brand Ambassador in 2025. She also works with YSL Beauty and Bvlgari on fragrance, makeup, and jewellery campaigns, which is why the relationship narrative travels fast beyond football circles.
Rumour versus announcement
The complication is simple: the public evidence points to repeated proximity, not a relationship they have put on the record. That leaves the story in the rumor economy, where photos, location, and timing can drive attention without crossing into an official declaration.
Mbappé, 28, was born on 20 December 1998, and Expósito was born on 26th January, 2000. Between his 133million Instagram followers and her 24.2million, any shared appearance becomes a scale story as much as a personal one. For now, the headline is not marriage or even a clean official pairing; it is a trail of sightings that keeps the Mbappé wife chatter alive. Have Kylian Mbappé and Ester Expósito actually said they are dating? No, and until they do, every new photo just extends the same unanswered question.
