France star forward Kylian Mbappe is preparing for his team’s June 26 World Cup game against Erling Haaland — and the other Norway players.

In the meantime, Mbappe’s girlfriend, Spanish actress Ester Exposito, has been hitting the dance floor, per a flaunting Instagram story post on Friday.

Exposito has landed several prominent film and television roles in recent years, so perhaps this dance is her way of getting ready for another role she has in the works.

Mbappe and Exposito went official with their relationship earlier in 2026 — fascinating many soccer fans, as Mbappe has been known for his preference to keep his relationships private in recent years.

The down side of Exposito being so busy is that she doesn’t get to watch Mbappe compete in the World Cup from the stands.

But given that Exposito is from Spain, she might have feel conflicted — especially if Spain and France face off against each other in the tournament.

It will also be interesting to see how much Mbappe plays against Norway. France has already advanced into the knockout stages of the World Cup, but Friday’s game could change where they finish in the group.

There have already been reports that Haaland isn’t playing for Norway, suggesting that their side might be conceding defeat against France before the match even kicks off.

Regardless, Mbappe will be prepared to play, and Exposito will be likely be watching.
