Barcelona midfielder Lamine Yamal has reportedly deleted all photos of his new girlfriend, Nicki Nicole, from his social media accounts, sparking speculation of a breakup just one week after their public appearance. The situation has intensified the impression of a split for the 18-year-old footballer.
Yamal had initially posted a photo on social media with the 25-year-old Argentine rapper during her birthday party, a post that marked the apparent beginning of their relationship. Nicki Nicole was later seen attending Barcelona tournaments, proudly wearing a number 10 jersey in support of her young boyfriend.
However, by September 1, all images of Nicki Nicole had disappeared from Yamal’s social networks. Furthermore, Nicki Nicole’s account no longer shows any mutual follows with Yamal.
This rapid turn of events has fueled widespread rumors, with some believing the photo deletions are a clear signal of a romantic breakdown. Others suggest the couple may simply be trying to maintain privacy after attracting significant media attention. Some fans also speculate that Yamal’s initial post was merely a congratulatory message, not confirmation of a relationship.
Nicki Nicole, whose birth name is Nicole Cucco, is an acclaimed Argentine singer, an eight-time Latin Grammy winner, who rose to fame with her hit ‘Wapo Traketero’ in 2019. Yamal, one of the most promising young players, is considered a contender for the 2025 Ballon d’Or, and has previously been associated with relationship rumors.
