France and Real Madrid ace Kylian Mbappe's relationship with Spanish actress Ester Exposito continues to draw headlines, with the Ãlite star recently opening up about the qualities she values most in a partner.
In an interview with Harper's Bazaar, Expósito highlighted emotional intelligence, sensitivity, and humour as key attributes, but emphasized a deeper social awareness as essential. "What I value most is an awareness of the state of the world, and a sensitivity to the chaos and injustices that surround us," she shared. "I appreciate it when [a partner doesn't] rest on their laurels, but instead takes responsibility for the mistakes we make as a society."
While the high-profile pair's romance has made them a focal point for French and Spanish media, Exposito remains unbothered by the intense public glare.
"If I wanted a quiet life, away from the spotlight and from people talking about me, then I should have chosen a different path," she noted.
