Yamal breaks silence after splitting with Nicki Nicole
Speaking to journalist Javi Hoyos, as reported by Spanish outlet Sport, Yamal made things clear:
“We’re not together.” The 18-year-old, who has been in the headlines for both his footballing talent and personal life, also dismissed any notion of betrayal. It wasn’t due to any infidelity,” he said.
“We’ve simply separated, that’s all. Everything that’s coming out has nothing to do with our relationship.”
The romance between Yamal and Nicole had fascinated fans since it became public.
Their relationship gained traction through a string of social media posts and public outings, sparking widespread attention from sports and entertainment media.
Though they had been spotted together earlier, it wasn’t until August 2025, when Yamal shared a photo celebrating Nicole’s 25th birthday, that they officially confirmed their relationship.
For months, the pair seemed inseparable, often drawing admiration for their chemistry. But as the saying goes, not all stories have a fairytale ending.
The breakup arrives at a particularly trying moment for Yamal. The Barcelona prodigy was recently diagnosed with chronic pubalgia, a painful and persistent condition that affects his ability to move freely and perform at his best.
Sources close to the player suggest that the strain of managing his health, coupled with the intense demands of professional football, may have contributed to the split.

Fans react to Yamal’s split with Nicole
Despite the heartbreak, Yamal continues to receive an outpouring of messages from fans, some light-hearted, others sympathetic.
@liverpool1_love joked:
“Wow! Lamine Yamal has changed more girls than a chameleon changes its colours. Enjoying 5 cherries at the age of 18 has to be some sort of a record.”
@CFC_OTF teased:
“Bro changing women at the age of 18 like changing diapers.”
@EndaUsome reasoned:
“Not every partnership hits the right rhythm, on or off the pitch.”
@fgsden quipped:
“She couldn’t handle the pubic irregularities.”
@LFCGeezy summed up:
“Bro being a celebrity and dating is so hard.”
This marks the second time the Spanish international has gone through a public breakup.
After winning the 2024 European Championship with Spain, Yamal had dated TikTok star Alex Padilla, a relationship that also ended before briefly rekindling and fizzling out again.
He was later linked to Claudia Bavel before settling with Nicole.
