The party itself was the talk of the town, with videos and photos flooding social media. Yet, according to Spanish journalist Javi Hoyos, the real story unfolded behind the scenes.
In a recent TikTok post, as covered by GOAL, Hoyos claimed that Yamal and Nicole “hooked up,” citing a "very reliable" source who has allegedly never been wrong in the past.
Is Lamine Yamal flirting with Nicole?
Hoyos clarified that there was no physical intimacy during the birthday event itself. However, he noted that Yamal and Nicole were “heavily flirting” throughout the evening, sparking speculation among partygoers.
According to Hoyos, the relationship appeared to take a more intimate turn on July 24—11 days after Yamal’s birthday.
That night, the duo were seen together at an exclusive beach club. Witnesses say they seemed relaxed and clearly enjoying each other’s company.
According to the same source, Hoyos reported that the pair shared a kiss and eventually left the venue together at around 4 a.m., further fuelling rumours of a blossoming romance.
Yamal’s personal life is now under intense scrutiny because of the rumoured romance and his recent professional milestones.
The teenage sensation recently signed a lucrative new deal with FC Barcelona. According to Barcelona's official website, the 18-year-old has been handed the club’s iconic No.10 jersey, previously worn by none other than Lionel Messi.
He’s currently wrapping up a pre-season tour in Asia, where he’s been training and playing with the team in preparation for the new La Liga season.
Who is Nicki Nicole?
For those unfamiliar, Nicki Nicole is one of Latin America’s hottest music acts. Hailing from Rosario, Argentina—the same hometown as Messi—she rose to fame with hits like “Wapo Traketero” and “Colocao.”
Known for her edgy style and bold lyrics, Nicole has been making waves in both the reggaetón and trap scenes.

She was previously linked to fellow Argentine rapper Trueno, but the pair reportedly broke up last year. If the Yamal rumours are true, it would mark her first high-profile connection since that split.
As of now, neither Yamal nor Nicole has confirmed or denied the rumours. Whether this turns out to be a brief summer fling or the start of a genuine romance remains to be seen.
