Did Kylian Mbappé Break Up With Ester Expósito? (Fact Check)

What’s Happening With Mbappé Right Now?

Imagine your favorite soccer player had a tough week. That’s what happened to Kylian Mbappé!

• Kylian Mbappé is a super famous French soccer player (think of him like the captain of France’s team).
• France lost a big game last week, so they missed the chance to play in the 2026 World Cup finals (the biggest soccer tournament).
• Now, France will play against England in a "third place play off" (a match to decide who finishes third best).
• Mbappé is getting ready for that match.
• Besides soccer, people are also talking a lot about his romance with Ester Expósito, a Spanish actress (a movie/TV star).

The Breakup Rumor

A weird story started going around: did Mbappé break up with Ester after France lost?

Has Kylian Mbappé Broken Up With Ester Expósito?

No. The French captain has not ended his relationship with Ester Expósito.

Here is how the confusion started:

1. Fan accounts on X (a social media app like Twitter) shared an old video of Ester speaking Spanish.
2. The video was from when her holiday photos with Mbappé were leaked (shared online without permission).
3. The post had a fake caption: "Ester Expósito’s First Statements After Her BREAKUP with the French Star Kylian Mbappé."
4. This made fans go crazy!

Important Point: There are no real reports saying they broke up. It’s just a fake post causing drama.

Some fans figured out it was fake, but others believed it. Here’s what a few said:

• "At this point, I’m convinced Spain secretly hired her just to sabotage Mbappé." (Sabotage = mess him up on purpose)
• "I’m not saying Spain hired her… but it’s starting to look like it…"
• "No. They’re still together. It’s just the Spanish trying to mentally destroy Mbappé with false rumors."
• One smart fan explained: the video is old and just about Ibiza vacation photos and which team she supports — not a breakup!

So far, neither Mbappé nor Ester has said anything. They like to keep their love life private.

Mbappé Blamed for the Loss

Before the England match, Mbappé is in trouble again — this time from a former player.

• Franck Leboeuf (an old French soccer star) blamed Mbappé for losing to Spain.
• He said: "If he doesn’t understand that he has to work for the team, he will never get the Ballon d’Or (a trophy for best player) because his team will never win anything. You win through team effort — everybody sweats for each other."
• He added: "During this World Cup, Mbappé was playing perfectly. But in the Spain game, there was individual failure (he messed up on his own)."

Summary

• Mbappé and France lost to Spain and missed the 2026 World Cup final.
• A rumor said he broke up with Ester Expósito — but it’s false and based on an old video.
• Fans are debating, but no proof exists they split.
• Mbappé is also being blamed by Franck Leboeuf for the Spain loss.
• Mbappé is now focused on the third place match vs England.
