The news exploded like a bomb in the heart of Barcelona, after the Argentinian singer posted a short but “earthquake” post on social media: “Can’t hide it anymore. Thank you for always being there for me.” The post was accompanied by a blurry photo, in which Nicki placed her hand on her stomach, and behind her – clearly the silhouette of a man in a navy blue hoodie, believed to be Yamal.
In just a few minutes, the global social network exploded. The hashtag #NickiYamalBaby climbed straight to the top of the world, and Barcelona fans were divided: one side sent congratulations, while the other… was extremely confused.
A source “close” to the Barcelona team said:
“Nobody at the club could believe it when they heard the news. Yamal had tried to keep it under wraps for months. He and Nicki are said to have met at a music event in Spain earlier this year and have been in touch ever since.”
A witness at the party in Sitges claimed to have seen the pair “laughing and talking intimately” among close friends. However, no one expected the relationship to lead to such a shocking news story.
Spanish tabloids jumped on board. El Diario del Sol headlined: “Music meets football: Unexpected love shakes Barcelona!” While La Voz del Corazón called it “the most shocking love story of the year.”
On social media, fans were in an uproar:
One account commented: “I still can’t believe it – Lamine is just starting his career, and Nicki is already an icon. But love has no limits.”
Another wrote: “If this is true, the next baby will have both music and football in his DNA.”
Meanwhile, Barcelona’s representatives remained absolutely silent, only saying “everything is a matter of personal privacy, the club has no comment.”
A sports reporter in Catalonia revealed: “Yamal was asked to avoid any questions related to Nicki during training this morning. However, everyone noticed he was smiling the whole time.”
And Nicki Nicole – who is famously private about her personal life – did not hide for the first time. She appeared with Yamal at a small cafe in the Gràcia area, hand in hand, in the morning sunshine of Barcelona. No noise, no masks – just two young people smiling, as if they were finally ready to step into the light.
One comment circulating online read:
“If this is true love, Barcelona has just become the new capital of fairy tales.”
