When reporters mentioned her relationship with Yamal, Nicole confirmed it, adding that the young Barca talent and Spanish singer Rosalia taught her the phrase "T’estimo" – meaning "I love you" in Catalan.

Asked what she looks for in a relationship, Nicole emphasized "enjoyment, sincerity, and affection." She also thanked the Barcelona audience: "I'm very happy to be here, receiving so much love from everyone, and I'm truly grateful."

The singer expressed excitement about her first appearance at a Desigual fashion show. "This is a special experience because I was invited to attend and have the opportunity to stand alongside many stars I've long admired," Nicole said.

After Spain's 6-0 victory over Turkey on 7/9, Yamal also showed affection for his girlfriend. On his Instagram Story, Nico Williams teased and filmed Yamal smiling at his phone, which displayed a photo of him with Nicole. "Why are you smiling so much? The kid's in love," the Spanish midfielder wrote.

Yamal made their relationship public on Nicole's 25th birthday on 25/8. Breakup rumors surfaced just 13 days later after Yamal removed Nicole's photos from his Instagram and changed his profile picture to a black image. However, recent actions from both suggest a serious commitment.

Yamal's personal life has drawn attention since his rise to global stardom in the past year. The Spanish midfielder initially revealed his relationship with Alex Padilla during the Euro 2024 victory celebration at Olympia Stadium on 14/7. They reportedly split after a video surfaced of Padilla sitting on the lap of another man named Izan Fernandez.

Subsequently, the Barca midfielder was linked to several other women, including social media star Anna Gegnoso, 19, in Barcelona. He was later seen vacationing with flight attendant Fati Vazquez, 29, jet skiing on the island of Pantelleria, south of Sicily. Yamal was then rumored to be pursuing model Claudia Bavel, who is 12 years his senior.

Yamal posted a birthday message for Nicole on Instagram on 25/8.

Nicki Nicole, whose real name is Nicole Denise Cucco, was born on 25/8/2000 in Rosario, Argentina. She is a prominent figure in Latin trap and urban music, with a Latin Grammy nomination and appearances at major music festivals.

Nicole previously dated rapper Trueno, another prominent Argentine artist. They went public with their relationship in 2020 but separated after about two years. Since then, she has kept her romantic life private until the rumors about Yamal surfaced.
