French forward Kylian Mbappé is drawing attention off the pitch after reports of a luxury vacation in Ibiza with Spanish actress Ester Expósito surfaced ahead of France’s first World Cup match, against Senegal. According to the reports, photographs of the pair enjoying time together were published recently but were reportedly taken in May. The images have prompted renewed speculation about their relationship, leading to public criticism framed around whether Mbappé skipped World Cup duties for personal time.

Across the coverage, the central points are that Mbappé and Expósito have been linked through the social-media and media circulation of the Ibiza photos. The reports emphasize that the nature of their relationship remains unconfirmed. Neither Mbappé nor Expósito has publicly commented on whether they are romantically involved, and there is no verified information presented in the articles about any impact on Mbappé’s participation or preparations for France’s tournament.

The story remains based on widely shared images and ongoing rumor rather than official statements or documented decisions by either party.
