Kylian Mbappe has once again been one of the biggest talking points at this summer’s World Cup – both for his exploits on the pitch and his life away from it.

The French superstar heads into Saturday night’s third-place play-off against England looking to salvage some pride after Les Bleus slumped to an underwhelming semi-final defeat to Spain. He is also level with Lionel Messi on eight goals at the top of the scoring charts.

And he will be hoping to add to his tally and fire himself to the Golden Boot. Cheering the 27-year-old in his bid will be Ester Expósito, the glamorous Spanish actress who is rumoured to have started dating the Real Madrid forward earlier this year.

The blonde beauty is a household name in Spain after shooting to fame in the hit Netflix drama ‘Elite’.

She has amassed more than 24 million followers on Instagram, where she regularly treats fans to a range of stylish and seductive snaps.

The pair sent tongues wagging in February after being spotted together in Madrid in late February, followed by another sighting in Paris in early March – although neither have gone public with their relationship.

But Expositio is only the latest name to be linked with Mbappe, who has enjoyed a colourful love life away from the pitch.

Back in 2022, Mbappe reportedly started dating Ines Rau, a 36-year-old Paris-born transgender model.

Rau transitioned and underwent gender-affirming surgery aged 16, before becoming the first openly transgender Playmate and the first transgender woman to become an ambassador for L’Oreal Paris.

The couple were spotted looking cheery together at the Cannes Film Festival and on Mbappe’s luxury yacht, with the Frenchman snapped holding the sun-kissed brunette model up in his arms.

However, following France’s heartbreaking defeat to Argentina at the 2022 World Cup – a match in which Mbappe netted a memorable hat-trick – reports emerged that the relationship had come to an end.

Soon afterwards, the French captain was linked with stunning Belgian model Stephanie Rose Bertram.

The 31-year-old has starred in ad campaigns for Primark, H&M and L’Oreal, and was even one of the models used to promote the doomed Fyre Festival music event.

But the romance raised eyebrows because Bertram had previously dated Mbappe’s former Paris Saint-Germain team-mate Gregory van der Wiel, with whom she had two children.
