Barcelona starlet Lamine Yamal has officially gone public with his rapper girlfriend Nicki Nicole, sharing a series of affectionate snaps on social media that leave little to the imagination.
The 18-year-old Spanish forward and the Argentine rap sensation, who boasts 22 million Instagram followers, have been spotted together multiple times in recent weeks, including at Barcelona’s match against Italian side Como earlier in August.
Until now, however, the relationship had largely flown under the radar – but Yamal has officially removed the lid on the secret.

In a romantic post on XYamal shared a picture of the couple posing in front of a birthday cake, surrounded by red, white, and pink flowers and matching heart-shaped balloons. He captioned the snap with a simple cake and hearts emoji.
Nicole, known for hits like There are trakes, Placementand Mamiculareposted the photo with heart-on-fire emojis.
Later, Yamal took to Instagram to share a short video from a similar setting in a hotel room, with Nicole seemingly behind the camera, once again featuring flowers and a cake – reinforcing that the couple are enjoying their moments together both on and off the pitch.
Nicole, originally from Rosario, Argentina, gained global recognition after becoming the first Argentine to appear on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in April 2021, cementing her status as an international music star.
With Yamal lighting up the pitch for Barcelona and already considered a Ballon d’Or favourite, the pair could very well be the next headline-grabbing power couple – not “Brangelina,” but “Laminicole,” maybe? Never mind…
