While neither Mbappé nor Expósito has publicly confirmed a relationship, consistent sightings in both Madrid and Paris have convinced many that the two global stars are quietly dating. The rumors gained significant traction in March when French blogger Aqababe claimed the couple was seen kissing at a Paris bar, sharing photos that quickly went viral.

Timeline of reported romance

The speculation began in late February when the pair were allegedly spotted together in Madrid. It intensified in early March after they were photographed during a private jet trip to Paris. Witnesses reported seeing them at restaurants, bars, and enjoying low-key outings, including an intimate coffee moment in Mbappé's car.

By April, additional images emerged showing the two sharing affectionate moments, including kisses and hugs after dinners.........
