Argentine singer Nicki Nicole has publicly addressed recent speculation regarding her relationship with Barcelona’s rising star, Lamine Yamal, firmly denying rumors of a separation and clarifying her stance on their romance.
Speaking to The Sun, Nicole expressed her affection for the young footballer and her enjoyment of living in Barcelona. “I really love YAMAL, and I’m really enjoying living in Barcelona with the love of people here. I really want to thank everyone for their love,” she stated. When directly questioned by a journalist, the Argentine artist confirmed that a relationship between them is indeed ongoing. She also revealed that she learned the Catalan phrase “T’estimo” (I love you) from the 18-year-old Barcelona prodigy, a testament to their personal connection.
The speculation surrounding a potential breakup intensified following a social media post by Spanish national teammate Nico Williams. After Spain’s dominant 6-0 victory over Turkey on September 7, Williams shared a photograph on Instagram depicting Yamal holding his phone, with Nicki Nicole’s image clearly visible on the screen. Despite this public display of affection, rumors of a split began circulating rapidly. These rumors were fueled by reports that Yamal had reportedly removed Nicole from all his Instagram accounts, an action that occurred just 13 days after their relationship was said to have been made public around August 25. This sudden social media activity caused significant concern among their respective fan bases.
Prior to his current relationship with Nicki Nicole, the 18-year-old Barcelona striker had been linked to several other women. These past romantic connections reportedly garnered media attention after he gained widespread recognition for helping Spain qualify for EURO 2024. Media reports had previously connected Yamal to a 29-year-old influencer and, later, to a 30-year-old public figure. However, these reports eventually faded from public discourse.
