Alex Padilla: 5 Interesting things to know about Lamine Yamal's stunning girlfriend

At just 17 years old, Lamine Yamal has already captured global attention due to his mesmerising displays on the pitch.

Yamal, who recently won the Best young player award at Euro 2024, has often been in the limelight, for his biddings on the pitch.

However, Barcelona’s teenage sensation has also sparked curiosity about details of his personal life, including his relationship.

While the spotlight has always been on Lamine Yamal, a significant attention has been drawn to his love interest, Alex Padilla.

The pair reportedly broke up after their summer beacation in Greece last year, but later appeared together months later in Dubai, after she debunked viral false allegations of cheating.

She was also Yamal’s date at the 2024 Globe Soccer Awards gala where he won the best Emerging talent of the year.

In this article, Pulse Sports will reveal details of Lamine Yamal’s girlfriend.

Alexandra Padilla is a student based in Barcelona.

Alex first came into the limelight due to rumours of her relationship with Spanish football sensation, Lamine Yamal. 

The rumours emerged after she was spotted at one of Spain’s group matches at Euro 2024 in the company of Lamine’s father.

Since then, Padilla has become a person of interest amongst football fans worldwide.

Alex Padilla confirmed she was born in fact born in January 2007, contrary to reports she is way older than Lamine Yamal.

And this claim was further confirmed by one of Alex’s close friends on TikTok, @yaasmiinaad_, who clarified that they are both childhood friends of the same age group, born in 2007.

Alex Padilla is currently on social media, and has already garnered millions of followers on TikTok amid her relationship with Lamine Yamal.

As at the time of this report, Alex Padilla has over 2 million followers on her TikTok page.

Padilla initially de-activated her old account Instagram, although she was less active even in the wake of the dating rumours.

Before quitting Meta’s platform, she had over 15,000 followers and was also followed by Lamine Yamal himself, as well as Lamine’s Moroccan father, Mounir Nasraoui.

However, days after Spain lifted the 2024 Euros title, she returned to Instagram with a new account that is also followed by Lamine Yamal himself.

Despite the intensity of rumours surrounding her relationship with Lamine Yamal, Padilla never came out to debunk or confirm the claims.

According to reports, the pretty student, who is now a TikTok star, was once forced to modify her Instagram username just to prevent netizens from discovering her page on the internet.

She is extremely discreet with details of her personal life and information.

Amongst other things, it is obvious that Alex Padilla is a highly supportive partner.

Pulse Sports gathered that Spanish beauty attended Spain’s matches at the Euros in Germany to cheer on Lamine Yamal.

Each time she did so, she was always in the company of Yamal’s family members who are understood to have also given their seal of approval.

Alex Padilla is also very much liked by Lamine’s parents as well as his extended relatives as well.
