Esther Exposito, a prominent Spanish actress, is caught in a unique dilemma ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup semifinal between Spain and France. Exposito is in a relationship with Kylian Mbappe, the captain of the French national team, raising the question of which side she supports in the upcoming match scheduled for Tuesday at 22:00 on Sport1.

In a recent interview with the French newspaper Le Parisien during the Monte Carlo Television Festival, where she received an award for promising international talent, Exposito admitted the situation is challenging for her. "It's a nightmare! My heart is completely split. On one side, my country, my family, and my home. On the other side... well, you know," she said with a smile.

Exposito also revealed that until recently, she was not interested in football and even did not understand the offside rule, calling it a private joke between her and Mbappe. She is gradually learning about the sport and attends games to support rather than analyze tactics.

Despite Mbappe's rise as one of the tournament's biggest stars, Exposito has not been seen at any of France's matches, reportedly due to her busy schedule rather than any personal issues. She is currently in Los Angeles promoting her new Amazon Prime series "Drawn Together," set to premiere in September, while preparing for new acting roles and sharing content related to acting, fashion, and modeling on social media.

Many are still eager to see if Exposito and Mbappe will appear together publicly should France advance to the final.
