Barcelona’s rising star Lamine Yamal has officially confirmed his breakup with Argentine singer Nicki Nicole, revealing that the couple decided to part ways on mutual terms and without any drama.
Lamine Yamal Speaks on Split with Nicki Nicole
In an interview with Javi Hoyos on the Spanish show D Corazón, Yamal addressed recent rumours about his relationship. The young footballer firmly denied any speculation of infidelity being the reason for their separation.
“We are not together, but it has not been because of any infidelity,” Yamal said. “We have simply separated, and that’s it. Everything being said online has nothing to do with our relationship. I have not been unfaithful to her, nor have I been with another person.”
A Peaceful and Respectful Breakup
Yamal and Nicki Nicole had been in the public eye since they started dating around his 18th birthday in July 2025. The singer was often spotted cheering for him at FC Barcelona matches, and the pair frequently shared affectionate moments on social media.
Despite their high-profile relationship, Yamal emphasized that their breakup was amicable and respectful, not marked by any conflict or betrayal. “It was a mutual decision,” he reiterated.
Rumours Addressed by the Barcelona Forward
In recent weeks, social media buzzed with reports linking Yamal’s trip to Milan to an alleged meeting with an influencer. However, Yamal clarified that the couple had already split before that trip, putting all speculation to rest.
Focus Shifts Back to Football
Following the breakup, the young Spain international is now fully focused on regaining his top form for Barcelona. Yamal has been managing a groin injury that slightly impacted his performances earlier in the season. The Catalan club is optimistic that the winger will soon return to his best.
At just 18 years old, Yamal is already regarded as a generational talent. He has represented Spain 23 times, scoring 6 goals, and continues to impress for Barcelona with 3 goals and 5 assists across all competitions so far this season.
