Rumors first began circulating over the weekend when French fashion blogger Aqababe revealed that he had seen Kylian Mbappé and Ester Expósito at one of the top bars in the French capital.

The Real Madrid superstar and the Spanish actress (who became widely known through the Netflix series Elite) are more than recognizable figures. The news quickly went viral, with online sleuths discovering that the two follow each other on Instagram and have even exchanged likes. However, despite attempts by some to spot them in Paris, no one managed to do so.

Paparazzi waiting at Madrid airport were luckier. HOLA magazine secured exclusive photos of the couple disembarking from the private jet that brought them back to the Spanish capital.
