Kylian Mbappe's Rumored Girlfriend Shared Jaw-Dropping Swimsuit Photo

French superstar Kylian Mbappé is back in the spotlight this summer, but it's not just because the 2026 World Cup is underway.

Mbappé, 27, has already enjoyed plenty of success with France's national team. He helped his country win the 2018 World Cup by scoring four goals. Four years later, France was the World Cup runner-up in Qatar.

Prior to the start of France's World Cup campaign, forward Ousmane Dembélé discussed the pressure that Mbappé constantly faces on and off the pitch.

"The criticism towards him is very, very unfair. Some people go a bit too far with the criticism of Kylian," Dembélé said. "He's an incredible player and a very good person off the pitch. Some people overdo the criticism because he's Kylian Mbappé. They shouldn't keep going after him. Whether he ties his shoelaces or not, whether he pulls up his socks or not ... It's too much. He's still a human being. With the France team, he's very good with us, he's a leader."

Life off the pitch isn't too bad for Kylian Mbappé.

Before the national team for France took the field, it was reported that Mbappé is spending time with Spanish actress Ester Expósito.

According to reports, Expósito and Mbappé have been seeing each other since February. They were spotted in late May enjoying a day on the water.

Expósito hasn't addressed the rumors involving her and Mbappé, but make no mistake, she's got everyone's attention this June.

Expósito rose to prominence in 2018 due to her role as Carla Rosón Caleruega in the Netflix drama series "Elite."

We'll see if Expósito makes an appearance at this year's World Cup.
