Lamine Yamal goes public with his rapper girlfriend in a series of romantic photos

Barcelona starlet Lamine Yamal has officially gone public with his rapper girlfriend Nicki Nicole, sharing a series of flirty snaps on social media that leave little to the imagination.

The 18-year-old Spanish striker and the Argentine rap sensation, who has 22 million followers on Instagram, have been spotted together several times in recent weeks, including during Barcelona’s match against Italian side Como earlier in August.

However, until now, the relationship had largely gone unnoticed – but Yamal has officially lifted the lid on the secrecy.

In a romantic article on XYamal shared a photo 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 Traketero, InvestmentAnd Michulasreposted the photo with fire emojis.

Yamal later took to Instagram to share a short video of a similar setting in a hotel room, with Nicole seemingly behind the camera, again featuring flowers and a cake – reinforcing that the couple are enjoying their moments together on and off the pitch.

Nicole, originally from Rosario, Argentina, gained worldwide recognition after becoming the first Argentine to appear in The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in April 2021, cementing his status as an international music star.

With Yamal lighting up the pitch for Barcelona and already considered one of the Ballon d’Or favorites, the duo could very well be the next headline-grabbing power couple – not ‘Brangelina’, but ‘Laminicole’, perhaps? Nevermind…
