Spanish actress Ester Expósito sparked controversy after breaking her silence on what she described as false and offensive news about her personal life and her relationship with star player Mbappé.
Exposito published a statement via her Instagram account in which she criticized the spread of rumors and information that she considered fabricated with the aim of harming her dignity and distorting a story that brings together two people.
She stressed that she would not stand idly by in the face of what she described as false and defamatory content, and that she was prepared to take legal action against those responsible for publishing it.
Despite the strong tone of the statement, the Spanish actress did not directly specify which news she was referring to, which opened the door to many speculations, especially since her name has been linked in recent months to a romantic relationship with Mbappe.
According to press reports, fake images and content have spread across social media, including AI-fabricated images claiming that Mbappe appeared with another woman on a yacht, which contributed to the spread of rumors about a crisis in the player's relationship with the Spanish actress.
Experts who investigated the images circulating online concluded that they were not real and were generated or modified using artificial intelligence techniques.
The names of Mbappe and Exposito began to be linked more and more frequently from the beginning of 2026, after reports emerged of them appearing together at various events, before speculation grew about a romantic relationship between them.
Although the couple did not officially announce the nature of their relationship, their frequent appearances together contributed to strengthening these speculations, and media outlets observed joint movements between them on more than one occasion.
