Kylian Mbappe's girlfriend Ester Exposito in attendance for France vs England FIFA World Cup 2026 third-place playoff

Kylian Mbappe and Ester Exposito reportedly started dating in early 2026.

France are currently facing England in the third-place playoff of the FIFA World Cup 2026. Both sides are playing in the fixture because they lost their respective semifinal games earlier this week.

Les Bleus suffered a 2-0 defeat to Luis de la Fuente’s Spain, courtesy of goals from Mikel Oyarzabal and Pedro Porro. Meanwhile, the Three Lions were eliminated from the summer competition by defending champions Argentina, who secured a thrilling 2-1 triumph.

Thomas Tuchel and Didier Deschamps, the head coaches of England and France, respectively, displayed their disapproval of the game and revealed that their teams do not want to participate in the fixture. However, with not many options, they are forced to play the game.

England captain Declan Rice gave the Three Lions an early lead by scoring from outside the box. Ezri Konsa later doubled the lead with a header before Bukayo Saka scored his brace. The Three Lions were leading 4-0 at half-time.

However, only 10 minutes into the second half, Kylian Mbappe and Bradley Barcola scored again to bring Les Bleus back into the game and make it 4-2. Mbappe later completed his brace by scoring in the 66th minute.

While the action-packed game continues at the Rock Hard Stadium in Miami, the French captain’s reported romantic partner, Ester Exposito, has come to see the match.
