Kylian Mbappe, fresh off winning the Golden Boot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, was spotted celebrating with his girlfriend, Spanish actress Ester Exposito, in Miami. The couple attended the LIV Nightclub at the Fontainebleau hotel hours after France's defeat to England in the third-place match.
Mbappe concluded the tournament with 10 goals, setting a new record as the all-time leading goalscorer in World Cup history. Following the match, he and Exposito dined at Papi Steak before heading to the nightclub, where they were seen at a private table enjoying a DJ set.
Photos of the couple emerged after Mbappe deleted an Instagram story that showed Exposito wearing his French national team jersey and captain's armband. The image, posted from a hotel room, was quickly removed but circulated online.
Earlier on the day of the third-place game, Exposito and Mbappe were seen together watching the World Cup final from a boat. They were also photographed sharing a meal after Spain, Exposito's home country, secured their second World Cup title by defeating Argentina.
Rumors of the couple's relationship had been circulating since March, when Exposito attended one of Mbappe's matches at Real Madrid. Their subsequent public sightings included a bowling outing in Paris in April and a yacht trip in Italy in May.
Exposito had previously commented on the potential conflict of interest when Spain and France faced each other in the semifinals, telling a reporter it was a "difficult choice for me."
