It's been a summer of controversies for Lamine Yamal who continues to be linked to older women.
Barcelona's young superstar, Lamine Yamal, has returned to the headlines, with the latest gossip linking him romantically to Argentine singer Nicki Nicole.
Just weeks after he was reportedly seen on holiday with 29-year-old model Fati Vazquez, Yamal, who recently celebrated his 18th birthday, has been linked to a new romance.
)
The latest dating rumours, while unconfirmed, add another layer to a series of controversy surrounding Yamal’s personal life.
What’s the gossip?
)
The latest buzz surrounding Yamal’s personal life stems from a viral social media exchange with Nicki Nicole, a 24-year-old Argentine singer.
)
As reported by Daily Mail, the rumours gained traction after Yamal posted a photo with a prominent red kiss mark on his cheek.
In a striking coincidence, Nicki Nicole then shared a snap of her friend with an identical mark.
Spanish gossip expert Javi Hoyos was quick to weigh in on the story, claiming that while there was only "a lot of flirting" at Yamal's birthday party, a more significant development occurred a few weeks later.
)
According to Hoyos via the aforementioned outlet, "a couple of weeks later, on July 24th, they did go to a club on the beach and they did kiss and left together at four in the morning."
In a playful challenge to the pair to confirm the romance, Hoyos told them to "wink at us if something is happening."
)
Nicki Nicole’s subsequent TikTok video, in which she winked at the camera while her friend sang "The Boy Is Mine," has been widely interpreted as a confirmation of the alleged romance.
Pulse Sports previously reported that Nicki Nicole was linked to Chelsea's World Cup winner Enzo Fernandez in late 2024, after his brief split from the mother of his children Valentina Cervantes, to experience bachelorhood.
Lamine Yamal’s summer of controversy
)
This latest gossip is not the only off-field issue for Yamal this summer.
Earlier, Yamal had raised eyebrows after photos emerged of him on holiday in Italy with Fati Vazquez, an OnlyFans model and social media influencer.
)
Spanish publication Lecturas published exclusive photos of the pair together on a jet ski on the island of Pantelleria, fuelling speculation of a relationship despite a 12-year age gap.
)
The pair posted photos from the same locations, enjoying a lavish holiday.
However, Yamal quickly put an end to the rumours by posting a picture on Instagram with Neymar in Rio de Janeiro, captioned: "Single and happy, this is Brazil!" .
And weeks later, his 18th ‘mafia-themed’ birthday party became a source of widespread controversy, leading to a formal investigation by the Spanish government.
)
Yamal came under fire for allegedly "exploiting dwarves," as well as for inviting women with "specific breast measurements."
)
The Association of People with Achondroplasia and Other Skeletal Dysplasias with Dwarfism (ADEE) threatened to take legal action after images emerged of a group of five men with the condition arriving at the event.
This prompted the Spanish government to demand a formal probe, with the Ministry of Social Rights condemning the incident.
