Lamine Yamal’s Short-Lived Romance Ends in Heartbreak

Just when it seemed that young Barcelona star Lamine Yamal had found happiness in a budding romance, the relationship crumbled in a matter of weeks, leading the 18-year-old to publicly end his first openly acknowledged relationship.

According to reports from Ole, singer Nicki Nicole allegedly cheated on Yamal with Franco Mastantuono, a young talent who recently joined Real Madrid, just 13 days after going public with Yamal. Sources from El Canciller further claim that Nicole quickly fell for Mastantuono, a fellow Argentine, despite her recent affectionate appearances with Yamal.

Earlier this week, Yamal made headlines by deleting all traces of Nicole from his social media, a clear signal that the couple had parted ways. This move came as a shock, considering that just two weeks prior, Yamal had shared intimate moments with the Argentine singer. If the media reports are accurate, Yamal’s anger and decision to cut ties with Nicole are entirely understandable.

At just 18, Yamal has already been at the center of several off-field controversies. Before Nicole, he was linked to model Anna Gegnoso and rumored to have been involved with Fati Vazquez, a former flight attendant 12 years his senior. His first known relationship was with Alex Padilla, who was seen celebrating with Yamal’s family during Spain’s Euro 2024 victory. However, all these relationships ended in heartbreak.

Yamal’s attempt to go public with his feelings for Nicole has ended in bitter disappointment, with a fellow compatriot of his ex-girlfriend reportedly being the cause of their abrupt split.
