Kylian Mbappé has wasted little time moving beyond France’s disappointing World Cup finish, with the Real Madrid superstar appearing in a viral Miami video alongside Spanish actress Ester Expósito.
The footage circulating online reportedly shows Mbappé and the Élite star enjoying time together in Miami, including a public appearance in which they were seen walking hand-in-hand. Another widely shared clip is said to show the pair sharing an affectionate moment inside a nightclub, further intensifying speculation surrounding their relationship.
Their Miami outing came after France ended the 2026 World Cup in fourth place following defeat to England in the third-place playoff at Hard Rock Stadium. Expósito reportedly attended that match, marking her first appearance at a France game during the tournament.
Mbappé and Expósito had already attracted attention before the World Cup after being photographed together during trips to Paris, Madrid and Ibiza. Images from their yacht getaway in Spain showed them appearing relaxed and affectionate, although neither celebrity publicly confirmed the exact nature of their relationship at the time.
The speculation reached another level during the World Cup final weekend when Mbappé briefly posted an Instagram image of Expósito wearing a complete France kit and captain’s armband. The post disappeared shortly afterwards, but screenshots quickly spread across social media and were interpreted by many followers as an accidental public confirmation of their romance.
Expósito, known internationally for playing Carla Rosón in Netflix’s Élite, has a massive following of her own. Her reported relationship with one of football’s biggest stars has now created a powerful crossover between sport and entertainment.
While Mbappé and Expósito have yet to issue a formal statement, their increasingly public appearances are keeping fans talking. After weeks of World Cup pressure and disappointment, the French captain appears to be enjoying a more relaxed chapter under the Miami sunshine.
