I’m SINGLE! — 17 y/o Lamine Yamal shuts down rumours of alleged fling with two Cougars after Italian escape with OnlyFans model
Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal has denied persistent claims of a relationship with 29‑year‑old OnlyFans influencer Fati Vázquez.
The rumour mill recently went into overdrive after paparazzi shots published by Lecturas appeared to show the two lounging on jet skis and helicopters around Pantelleria, southern Sicily.
But rather than leave the speculation to simmer, Yamal, 17, called in gossip expert Javi de Hoyos, to categorically deny that he's with Vazquez.
And to drive the point home, Yamal posted a recent photo on his Instagram page, alongside Neymar in Rio de Janiero, was captioned: “Single and happy, this is Brazil!” .
Lamine Yamal and Fati Vázquez sparks online buzz after Italian escape
Vázquez, meanwhile, has been left reeling by abuse on social media.
On RTVE Play’s 'La Familia de la Tele', she revealed she’s received death threats and vitriolic messages labelling her a “pedophile” – allegations she fiercely rejects.
She insisted: “I haven't done anything, haven't killed anyone… The reactions are just too heavy, and it's even affecting him [Yamal].”
She also released a statement via Instagram that read:
“The threats, insults, and false accusations I'm receiving are SERIOUS, and they're already being documented. Remember that defaming, harassing and threatening in networks – THAT is a CRIME.”
Vázquez also defended their friendship, saying simply as per El Pais:
“Somos dos personas que lo quieren pasar bien y ya está” (“We are two people who just wanted to have a good time”).
Enter Claudia Bavel as online drama intensifies
Before these Sicily snaps made the headlines, another twist entered the tale.
Adult‑content creator Claudia Bavel, alleged that Yamal had proposed meeting up, invited her to his home and private parties.
But Yamal rejected these claims too.
Speaking on Tardear via journalist Álex Álvarez, he insisted he had not even met her, and claimed “my mother doesn’t allow any woman into the house,” as per Cadena Dial.
Bavel, in turn, pushed back – reading aloud WhatsApp exchanges on air as proof, though she stressed she rejected him because he’s a minor .
Beyond the soap‑opera swirl, Yamal’s focus remains resolutely football‑first.
His summer holiday followed a dazzling 2024/25 campaign, during which he claimed both La Liga and Copa del Rey titles, and has already agreed to a bumper new deal at Barcelona.
Yamal’s last known relationship was with Alex Padilla.
After the pair called it quits earlier this year, he was briefly linked to an Italian influencer Anna Gegnoso, but nothing sufficed from there too.
