Who is Lamine Yamal's Girlfriend?
According to The SUN, Lamine Yamal was dating a Grammy-nominated Argentinian singer, the internet whirred with speculation, memes, and about a thousand “Who’s punching?” arguments. So, who is Lamine Yamal’s girlfriend? It’s Nicki Nicole yes, that Nicki Nicole, the 25-year-old chart-topping artist who’s been making waves in Spanish-language music since her teens. She isn’t just famous for her voice, either; she’s got a magnetic social-media presence, a fashion sense that’s impossible to ignore, and a genuine, playful spirit that seems to get along with just about everyone. Honestly, if you’d asked me a year ago whether Barcelona’s teenage phenom would end up with a global music star who once made Barack Obama’s playlist, I’d have just laughed but here we are.

Let’s back up a bit. They first sparked rumors in July 2025, when Nicki showed up at Yamal’s 18th birthday, and things started moving at Instagram speed. By August, Yamal posted a photo of the two her with that signature smile, him looking like he couldn’t believe his luck for Nicole’s birthday.

Suddenly, everyone from football Twitter to celebrity gossip accounts was dissecting every detail. Some folks focused on the seven-year age gap, others on their different worlds: football and music aren’t always natural crossover events. But… they seem to make it work, and more than that, they seem genuinely happy. I mean, just this September, Nicki told a reporter in the middle of a glitzy Desigual fashion show, no less! that she was “very in love, very happy and very happy.” If those words sound a little repetitive, that’s probably nerves. But who can blame her? Imagine dating a national sports hero whose face is already plastered across Spain by age 18, and getting asked about it every time you step out for coffee.
What’s really charming is the little details. Nicki’s been living in Catalunya lately, soaking up the local music scene, hanging out with Yamal when their schedules line up. She told the press that Lamine and even superstar Rosalia have been teaching her Catalan (her favorite thing to say? “T’estimo,” which means I love you). I may not be a romantic at heart, but that’s sweet and delightfully earnest. Oh, and get this: Yamal’s been caught absent-mindedly staring at photos of Nicole on his phone in the locker room, his teammates roasting him like any group of friends would. One even joked, “My boy is in love!” which, for a footballer’s circle, is probably as close to poetry as you’re going to get.
Of course, both have their careers rolling at full speed. Yamal’s been racking up assists for Barcelona and lighting up Spain’s national side, his every game a fresh event for Spanish football. Nicole? She’s got a fanbase in Argentina, Spain, and pretty much anywhere with a Wi-Fi signal. If you’re worried about drama, sure, there were whispers that Nicole had previously dated Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez (and even exchanged some flirty DMs with F1’s Franco Colapinto), but those rumors are just background noise for the couple these days. Nicole’s real name Nicole Denise Cucco, by the way pops up now in sports sections as often as in Billboard charts.
Despite all the rumors and the big, bold headlines, what stands out when you listen to interviews or even glance at their social media is that both are just really into each other, no matter what the tabloids say. Nicole says the “joy, sincerity and affection” in their connection sets it apart and she thanks the people of Barcelona for being so warm and welcoming as she steps into the local limelight.
So, who is Lamine Yamal’s girlfriend? She’s a star, a lover of language, an endlessly positive presence and right now, the easiest way to get the usually low-key Yamal to blush in public. Their story feels both surreal and perfectly modern: football’s next big thing paired up with a multi-talented artist whose happiness is as infectious as her hooks. It’s the kind of celeb romance that just this once makes you want to root for a happy ending, even if you’re usually far too cool for that kind of thing.
