Kylian Mbappé and Ester Expósito are giving the internet very little reason to doubt them this summer. Fresh photos show the Real Madrid forward and the Spanish actress sharing kisses and cuddling on a yacht off the coast of Ibiza on Friday, August 7 — their third publicly documented boat trip together since May, and easily their most affectionate yet.
The Latest Sighting: Ibiza, August 7
According to photos published this week, Mbappé and Expósito spent a sun-soaked day off the coast of Ibiza, kissing and cuddling on deck while soaking up the Mediterranean heat. Expósito was photographed in two different bikinis over the course of the outing, while Sergio Momo — her Élite co-star — joined the pair on board, turning the day into a small group getaway rather than a solo couple's escape.
Neither Mbappé nor Expósito has publicly confirmed a relationship. But at this point, the pattern of sightings speaks louder than any statement would.
💬 Still unofficial: Despite months of matching vacations, neither Mbappé nor Expósito has confirmed they're dating. No statement, no joint interview — just a lot of very public yacht days.
