Kylian Mbappe may be drawing attention at the World Cup, but Ester Exposito has not been seen at any of the games or surrounding festivities. The absence has raised a simple question for fans: where is she?
The answer appears to be work rather than trouble. Exposito has been busy with a growing career that is keeping her far from the stands while Mbappe plays at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Why Ester Exposito Is Missing The World Cup
Exposito recently picked up a major honor at the Festival TV Monte-Carlo, where she won the International Golden Nymph for Most Promising Talent. She has also been teasing a new project, which suggests her schedule is packed.
She stars in “Drawn Together,” which premieres Sept. 9 on Amazon Prime Video. She announced the project on social media, making it clear that her focus is on work during Mbappe’s tournament run.
Her Recent Posts Point To Los Angeles, Not The Stadium
Exposito is actually in the United States right now, but she is on the opposite end of the country from Mbappe. While he is in New Jersey, she has been posting plenty of photos from her job in Los Angeles.
She appears to be there to learn dance moves for an upcoming role, and her Instagram posts have shown training sessions as well as West Coast outings.
| Mbappe | Exposito | Current Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Playing at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey | Working in Los Angeles | World Cup for Mbappe, acting and modeling work for Exposito |
On Monday, she also shared a selfie on her Instagram story that appeared to be from the L.A. area. The photo showed her wearing black pants, brown knee-high boots and a T-shirt, with sunny skies in the background and no caption.
Most of her social media posts center on her career, whether that means modeling, acting, or influencer work. She also shares selfies that highlight her fashion and style, which makes her current absence from the World Cup look like a scheduling issue rather than a personal one.
When “Drawn Together” arrives in September, it remains to be seen whether Mbappe and Exposito will appear together at events tied to the show. For now, her latest public posts point to a busy stretch in Los Angeles rather than time at the tournament.
