Nicki Nicole and Lamine Yamal confirm breakup months after announcing relationship

"We just decided to go our separate ways, that’s all", the footballer clarified in an interview, ending speculation

Argentine singer Nicki Nicole and FC Barcelona footballer Lamine Yamal have officially confirmed their breakup. The young couple, who first appeared together in August shortly after Yamal’s 18th birthday, have now deleted all photos of one another from their social media accounts.

Confirmation came when Yamal addressed the rumours in an interview with D Corazón, stating, “We’re not together. We just decided to go our separate ways, that’s all. Everything being said out there has nothing to do with our relationship.”

The footballer added, “I haven’t cheated or been with anyone else,” dismissing claims that his recent trip to Milan involved infidelity.

The pair had become one of the most talked-about young celebrity couples in recent months. They were often seen at football matches, concerts, and public events, including their official debut together at the King’s League only ten days before the split. On October 22, Yamal dedicated a goal against Olympiacos to the 25-year old singer, a gesture that suggested their relationship was still strong at the time.

Their romance began during Yamal’s birthday celebrations in July, where reports claim the two were first seen together. Over the following weeks, they were photographed on trips to Monaco and spotted exchanging affectionate messages online.

IN August, the couple confirmed their romance on Instagram after posting photos from Nicole's birthday celebrations.

Nicki Nicole, a leading figure in Argentina’s urban music scene, has previously collaborated with artists such as Bizarrap and Aitana.
