Lamine Yamal’s name is making headlines again, but this time it’s not because of sports news, either of the controversies surrounding his controversy over his controversy of his 18th birthday party.
On this occasion, what brings the media spotlight to the players at FC Barcelona is that Lamin appears to have a romance with the highly popular Argentine singer.
According to Hola journalist Javi de Hoyos, the soccer player and the Ballon d’Or candidate were seen with Nikki Nicole and flirty attitude. “I got this from a source I trust a lot. She’s a girl who never lets me down with the information,” Hoyosu said.
There were a lot of flirting
Gossip journalists claim that the artist attended Barcelona’s controversial Lamin party, but nothing happened that day “although there were many flirting.” A few weeks later, on July 24th, they kissed at a nightclub and reportedly left together around 4am.
Other signs indicate this possible, unexpected summer romance. As shown in the photo, the soccer player posted the same night, where he appeared with a kiss on the cheek.
Some people think you can find pictures of singers on Lamine Yamal’s mobile phone wallpaper.
If Javi de Hoyos is happening between them, the rumors got even heavier when Nicki posted the video to camera shortly after Javi de Hoyos publicly asked him to make meaningful gestures like winks.
The Argentine singer is about to turn 25
But who is Nikki Nicole? The artist who is likely to turn 25 was born on August 25, 2000 in the Rosary, Argentina.
She rose to fame in 2019 with the release of her debut single “Wapo Traketero.” Virtually all of her releases have since become a viral phenomenon. She has worked with artists such as Bizarrap, Aitana, Rels B, and Bad Gyal, and had a famous romance with fellow singer Trueno, whom she engaged before splitting in 2023.
The soccer player has had a busy month on his side in the media spotlight. He turned 18 on July 13th, and his coming-of-age celebrations are surrounded by the gifts he received, gifts worth about $500,000, to many talked about parties.
But now, all his fans are asking the same question. Are Lamin and Nikki a new surprise couple in the summer?
