Spanish actress Ester Exposito has spoken out regarding the persistent rumors of a romance between her and Real Madrid football sensation Kylian Mbappe. Speculation reached fever pitch last month after the pair were reportedly seen leaving the same hotel in Paris.

As one of the most high-profile figures in the Spanish capital, Mbappe is frequently a subject in the country's gossip columns. However, the whispers of a relationship with superstar Exposito gained significant traction in March when they were observed at the same Paris hotel during Mbappe's recovery from an injury. Following this, images also surfaced showing the two arriving back in Madrid, where Exposito resides.

Ester Exposito Comments on Mbappe Romance

During an interview with Hola magazine this week, after attending a Rosalia concert, Exposito expressed her enjoyment of the show. When questioned about her interest in football, she candidly replied, "the truth is, not a lot," despite having been spotted at the Santiago Bernabeu for the Madrid derby just two weeks prior. She added, "It was a good game."

Responding to a comment from the interviewer, "We like the couple a lot," and asked how she would rate Mbappe, Exposito demurred, stating, "I'm not going to say anything, so..."

Guardiola's Playful Remark on Mbappe's Trip

At the time of Mbappe's trip to Paris for treatment, controversy arose, with some Spanish media suggesting he should have remained with Los Blancos' medical staff. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was asked about Mbappe's decision and how he would react if his own players did something similar. Guardiola responded with a grin, "It looks like he didn't go alone," before clarifying that he generally has no issue with players returning home for injury treatment, deeming it a common practice.

Exposito is not entirely new to the Real Madrid circles, having previously attended Fede Valverde's birthday party several years ago.
