Yamal's rapper girlfriend breaks her silence on relationship with Barca star

Lamine Yamal's 25-year-old rapper girlfriend has broken silence on her new relationship with the Barcelona teenager.

Reports that Yamal and Argentine singer Nicki Nicole were dating first circulated in July when she attended his lavish 18th birthday party, which sparked controversy after dwarves and blonde escorts were allegedly hired for the event.

Soon after the couple confirmed their romance in mid-August, posing for a picture together during her 25th birthday celebrations, it was claimed by the Spanish press that Yamal and Nicole had split following just 13 days together.

Yamal set the record straight on Sunday while appearing in a dressing room video with Barcelona team-mate Nico Williams, who filmed the teenager smiling while showing off Nicole on his phone screensaver.

Williams shared the clip with the teasing caption 'Mi chaval está in love,' which translates as 'My boy is in love.'

Nicole has now spoken about the relationship too, admitting she is 'very much in love' with Barcelona's teenage sensation.

Speaking at the Desigual fashion show, she said: 'I am very in love, very happy and very happy.

'I am very happy, very happy in Barcelona, with a lot of affection from the people and I want to thank everyone.

'It's my first time in a Desigual show. I'm very happy. It means everything.

'First for the invitation, second because I'm with incredible stars that I admire very much and I really want to meet.'

The rapper, whose real name is Nicole Denise Cucco, also shared that Yamal is teaching her Catalan.

She was previously romantically linked to Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez in 2024, shortly after the World Cup winner's brief split from long-term girlfriend Valentina Cervantes, whom he has since reconciled with.

Internet sleuths claimed that Fernandez's goal celebration against Aston Villa in December 2024, which involved him pretending to make a phone call with his hands, was directly linked to Nicole. She had a popular song released in 2023 titled Llamame (Call Me).

Nicole was pictured sporting a Barcelona shirt at the Nou Camp back in August, as she watched her new flame score two goals to guide the Spanish giants to a 5-0 victory over Como.

Yamal's latest venture on the football pitch came during Spain's stunning 6-0 triumph over Turkey in Sunday's World Cup qualifier.

Earlier this summer, Yamal was spotted holidaying with 30-year-old OnlyFans model Fati Vazquez, who was photographed with him and left a lipstick mark on his cheek in a social media post.
