England Prepares for a New Season as Barcelona Lamine Yamal Sparks Romance Rumours with Nicki Nicole
Barcelona star Lamine Yamal and Argentine rapper Nicki Nicole at the centre of surprise relationship whispers
Barcelona’s teenage sensation Lamine Yamal has been making headlines all summer – and not just for his football. As England prepares for the start of a new season with eyes on La Liga’s rising stars, Yamal’s name has once again grabbed the spotlight, this time off the pitch, with reports emerging of a possible new romance with Argentine rapper Nicki Nicole.
The rumour mill has been working overtime following the young Spaniard’s high-profile 18th birthday bash, which brought together a glittering guest list from music, sport, and celebrity circles. One name in particular, though, has stood out: Nicki Nicole, the 24-year-old urban music phenomenon from Rosario, Argentina.
Birthday bash raises eyebrows – and a few questions
Yamal turned 18 on July 13, and to mark the milestone, he threw a lavish celebration fitting of one of world football’s brightest young stars. The party, by all accounts, was extravagant – with designer fits, exclusive guest lists, and the type of scene that would make even seasoned professionals do a double-take.
Among the guests spotted at the event was Nicki Nicole, whose inclusion initially raised no major alarms. As an established performer with international clout, many assumed she had been invited simply to provide the evening’s entertainment. Her presence, given the level of celebrity that surrounded the event, seemed fitting.
But it didn’t take long for speculation to mount.
Journalist drops bombshell claims: “They hooked up”
Spanish journalist Javi Hoyos was the first to put two and two together. In a now widely shared TikTok post, Hoyos claimed that there was more to Nicole’s appearance than just musical entertainment. Citing what he describes as a “very reliable” source, Hoyos dropped a bombshell: “Lamine Yamal and Nicki Nicole hooked up.”
He went on to stress that his source has never led him astray – adding to the intrigue and giving the claim some credibility among fans who follow these behind-the-scenes stories closely.
At the birthday party itself, Hoyos insists nothing concrete happened between the pair. The vibe, however, was far from cold. The two were reportedly seen enjoying each other’s company with what’s been described as “heavy flirting,” though it stopped short of anything more.
That would apparently change 11 days later.
A night at the beach club and a 4 a.m. exit
According to Hoyos, things moved forward on July 24. That night, Yamal and Nicole were spotted arriving at a beach club together – away from the spotlight of any high-profile party or music performance. It was a more discreet outing, but one that ended in tabloid-worthy fashion.
Hoyos claims the two not only shared a kiss that evening, but also left the venue together around 4 a.m. Since then, he says he’s received “further confirmation” that the encounter did, in fact, involve a romantic clinch.
With that, the story has taken on a life of its own.
A summer of milestones for Yamal
Romance rumours aside, it’s already been a defining summer for Lamine Yamal. The prodigy has signed a new contract with Barcelona, solidifying his long-term future with the club that nurtured him. He’s also inherited the iconic No.10 shirt – a number previously worn by Lionel Messi, no less.
Those are major boots to fill, but there’s little doubt that Yamal has the talent, temperament, and now the spotlight to try.
Still just 18, he’s set to return to Catalunya after a pre-season tour of Asia. But with growing attention on both his on-field exploits and his off-field activities, the teenager is stepping into a new level of global celebrity – where every move, photo, or late-night outing can spark headlines.
Who is Nicki Nicole?
While Lamine Yamal may be a household name in football circles, Nicki Nicole is no stranger to fame in her own right. Born in Rosario in 2000, she burst onto the Latin American music scene with her breakout hit “Wapo Traketero” and has since established herself as a major force in Latin trap and urban pop.
She’s collaborated with the likes of Bad Bunny and Bizarrap, built a massive social media following, and even earned Latin Grammy nominations along the way. At just 24, she has become one of the most recognisable faces in Spanish-language music – combining musical talent with streetwise style and undeniable charisma.
Her romantic life has also been the subject of media curiosity before. Most notably, she was previously linked to fellow Argentine rapper Trueno, but the two split in 2023. Now, it appears she might be starting a new chapter – if the rumours are true – with one of football’s most exciting young stars.
What’s next for Yamal and Nicole?
So, are they an official couple? As of now, neither Lamine Yamal nor Nicki Nicole has confirmed or denied the reports. There have been no Instagram posts together, no sightings hand-in-hand at public events, and no comment from agents or representatives.
In other words, it’s all just whispers and speculation – but the kind that stirs conversation from Barcelona to Buenos Aires.
Whether it turns into a full-blown celebrity relationship or simply becomes another brief chapter in both their rising careers, one thing is certain: the world will be watching closely. Lamine Yamal already had the football world at his feet. Now, it seems, he may be entering the glamorous (and sometimes messy) world of showbiz romance too.
And with England’s football fans always on alert for the next big La Liga star – or story – this is one off-the-pitch development that may keep making headlines as the season rolls on.
