Kylian Mbappé and Ester Expósito romance in Paris, write letter
Kylian Mbappé and Spanish actress Ester Expósito were spotted together in Paris on 24 July 2026, entering the luxury jeweler Messika before visiting boutiques such as Dior and Jacquemus on Avenue Montaigne. The Messika store was reportedly closed exclusively for them, and the pair were photographed in relaxed, coordinated outfits.
Following France’s defeat to Spain in the World Cup semi‑final and a loss in the third‑place match, the couple spent several days on a yacht off Miami before travelling to Paris for the shopping excursion. Mbappé later posted an Instagram story showing Expósito wearing his French national team jersey, which he quickly deleted.
In the days after the tournament, Mbappé published an open letter to French supporters, thanking them for their support, acknowledging the team’s disappointment at not winning the title, and highlighting his achievement as the tournament’s top scorer with ten goals. The letter praised his teammates, coaching staff and the collective effort of the French national team.
