However, the whispers of a relationship with superstar Exposito gained significant traction in March when they were observed at the same Paris hotel during Mbappe's recovery from an injury.

During an interview with Hola magazine this week, after attending a Rosalia concert, Exposito expressed her enjoyment of the show.

Guardiola's Playful Remark on Mbappe's Trip
At the time of Mbappe's trip to Paris for treatment, controversy arose, with some Spanish media suggesting he should have remained with Los Blancos' medical staff. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was asked about Mbappe's decision and how he would react if his own players did something similar. Guardiola responded with a grin, "It looks like he didn't go alone," before clarifying that he generally has no issue with players returning home for injury treatment, deeming it a common practice.
Exposito is not entirely new to the Real Madrid circles, having previously attended Fede Valverde's birthday party several years ago.
