Sources indicate the pair arrived around 10 p.m. and departed at 1:20 a.m., enjoying a late-night dinner that has fans buzzing on social media.
The viral video credited to Instagram user @chilayo, shows the pair exiting the venue discreetly amid a small entourage. Though blurry and shot from a distance, typical of paparazzi style, the clip clearly depicts Mbappé in a casual yet stylish ensemble: sky blue sweats against the cool night, paired with slim dark pants and black sneakers.
Expósito, walking nearby while on her phone, sports an all-white outfit, a fitted white coat over light pants or a skirt, complemented by white sneakers. Her signature long blonde hair is also unmistakable, framing her striking features, though the footage captures her from side and back angles.
Rumours first ignited in late February with reports of sightings in both Madrid and Paris, including a cozy evening at the Pullman bar's Le 10ème Ciel, where witnesses claimed they were "kissing all evening."
French gossip blogger Aqababe amplified the buzz on March 6, asserting they began dating around February 25, backed by anonymous tips. Neither has confirmed or denied the relationship, but their silence has only heightened interest, with fans dissecting every social media post for clues.
Expósito, famed for her roles in Netflix hits like "Elite" and "Someone Has to Die," boasts more than 24 million followers on Instagram.
