Kylian Mbappe’s beautiful World Cup WAG hit out over ‘flirting with Bad Bunny’ storm
Kylian Mbappe’s girlfriend, Ester Exposito, felt forced to hit out after she sparked controversy when she was spotted dancing with music superstar Bad Bunny.
The French forward has been crucial at the World Cup, scoring seven goals in five games as Les Bleus vindicate their favourites tag. But Mbappe had to navigate a world of social media stick and noise on the eve of the tournament after his girlfriend Ester was captured enjoying what was branded a flirtatious dance with the Latin pop sensation.
The Spanish actress, renowned for her role in Netflix series Elite, began her relationship with Kylian at the start of this year, with the pair photographed looking intimate at a restaurant back in March. Yet the Real Madrid star was conspicuously absent when Ester attended the Bad Bunny concert on Saturday, May 30.

She was positioned in the VIP area at the gig, where Bad Bunny was filmed approaching her during his performance, sporting a baseball cap and sunglasses.
Ester was captured on camera singing along as they briefly moved together in footage echoing his Super Bowl performance back in February.
She is a major celebrity in Spain, boasting more than 24 million Instagram followers, courtesy of her acting talents. But she received plenty of criticism on social media.
One user posted on X, “Sorry, but Mbappé is an idiot. She’s only with him for his money (even if she has some, she has less than him)-just look at his exes to see that he’s not her type at all.”
A second fumed: “How are you going to do that when you’re in a relationship and even more so since they’re famous, the wave of mockery they’ll throw at him.”
However, weeks later she appeared on Spanish TV show Al Cielo Con Ella, when she addressed the concert and concerns about her dancing.
She said: “What is all this outdated puritanism? Of course you can be a feminist, enjoy reggaeton, and dance however you want if you feel like it.
“That’s the least of it. There are many of us, actually. This is a very old debate that I thought we had already moved past.
“I think it’s the height of hypocrisy when people appropriate our discourse to take away our freedom, to tell us how to be good women, what music we should like, and how we should dance to it.”
Mbappe is believed to have met Ester while in Spain due to his deal with Real Madrid. He has featured 103 times for the club across two seasons and netted 86 goals in all competitions.
