As Kylian Mbappe has been one of the faces of the World Cup, the attention has turned to whether the France star has a wife or girlfriend. Mbappe is not married but has been linked to Spanish actress Ester Exposito.
The couple has yet to “hard launch” their relationship and avoid posting photos together on social media. Yet, Mbappe frequently posts responses to his girlfriend’s Instagram photos.
While other top footballers’ partners have been spotted cheering on the stars in the States, Exposito’s presence at the World Cup remains a mystery. During an interview with LOS40 Colombia, Exposito revealed that she has been following the World Cup “a bit.”
“Well, I’m following it a bit, I’m seeing the results,” Exposito explained to LOS40 Colombia, via Marca.com. “But is Spain playing now? It’s very late to… I mean, because in Spain they’re already asleep.”
Exposito was pressed on if she is cheering on France during the World Cup.
“Well, I’ll keep that to myself,” Exposito responded.

“With dad, we talk about soccer; we’re both passionate about it,” Mbappe said at the time. “He has a real understanding of the game. With mom, it’s more about teaching; we really talk about everything.

“I know nothing about soccer!” Exposito noted to Le Parisien, via Le Figaro during a June 15, feature. “I’ve only been to a stadium a few times in my life. At home, nobody watched matches on television.
“Even though Spain is a great soccer country and we obviously have the best teams, I don’t have that culture. … It’s a world I’m discovering, and with this football film, everything is happening at once. So I’m starting to get interested.”
