Although they never publicly confirmed their romance, the two have been seen together since March. The relationship began to attract attention when Ester disembarked with Mbappé from a jet in Madrid, the capital of Spain. Since then, the two have been spotted on a romantic date in Paris, and went on a yacht in Ibiza just before the World Cup. The actress was also seen in a box at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium to accompany the player on the field defending Real Madrid.

Ester is one of the most popular Spanish actresses of her generation. She began her career at the age of 16 and gained international recognition when she played Carla in the first two seasons of the series "Elite".

In addition to her teenage success, the actress was part of the cast of productions such as "Vis a Vis", "Someone Has to Die", "Bandidos" and the horror film "El Talento". She also works as a model for famous brands and has more than 24 million followers on social media.

In Brazil, Ester already had her name associated with Anitta. The two exchanged compliments during the 2019 LOS40 Music Awards, when the singer joked, in a publication, that she hoped to "date" the actress. Expósito responded to the caption with good humor: "I tell you yes." Anitta also participated in "Elite", in the seventh season of the Netflix production.
