Nicki Nicole has finally spoken out about the romance that has everyone paying attention. The Argentine singer, who has steadily risen as one of Latin music’s most captivating voices, confirmed her relationship with Spanish soccer star Lamine Yamal during a high-profile fashion event in Barcelona.
The confirmation came at the Desigual fashion show in Barcelona, an event that drew international names like Paris Jackson, Ester Expósito, and Becky G. Cameras followed Nicki Nicole as she left the venue, and it was there that she silenced the rumors suggesting her romance with the FC Barcelona forward was short-lived.

And when asked directly about her personal life, she didn’t hesitate: “I’m very much in love and very happy.” It was a statement that immediately set the media alight. One journalist even shouted, “She’s in love with Lamine Yamal. She’s admitted it. Long live love!”
Rumors vs. Reality
In the weeks leading up to this moment, speculation ran wild. Spanish tabloids had been whispering that the relationship between Nicki and Yamal had already cooled off, just shortly after it was made public. But Nicki’s words painted a different picture.
Her appearance at Desigual alongside other international stars also placed her right at the intersection of fashion, music, and celebrity culture, proving once again why she’s become a voice of her generation.

In the picture, the 25-year-old singer rests her head on the footballer’s chest. Yamal, dressed in a T-shirt, seemed to be sending a double message; not only is it one of Nicki’s nicknames, but it’s also the title of her fourth studio album, released last year.

Their relationship is also proof of how global culture is increasingly intertwined. A Rosario-born artist finds herself embraced by Barcelona’s creative scene, while a teenage football star’s fame is amplified by his connection to one of Latin music’s biggest names.
