On 25/8, Yamal first confirmed the relationship by posting a picture of himself with Nicole for her birthday. In the photo, the young Barca talent is seen with his arm around his girlfriend's waist, sitting next to a birthday cake and smiling.
This action put an end to the rumors about their relationship that had been circulating since the summer, when Nicole was repeatedly seen at events related to Yamal. She even wore his number 10 jersey during the Joan Gamper Trophy friendly match.

However, by yesterday, 1/9, all traces of Nicole had vanished from Yamal's Instagram account. The birthday photo, the only evidence of their official relationship, was gone. Nicole's account also no longer contained any trace of Yamal.
On social media, many believe that Yamal and Nicole have indeed broken up, evidenced by the disappearance of the photos from their personal pages. Others think the two just want to keep their private lives private after the intense attention from the media and fans. Some argue that the birthday photo was only posted on his story and not on his main feed, so it doesn't necessarily confirm a breakup.
Both Yamal and Nicole remain silent. This fuels speculation, especially since Nicole publicly addressed her previous breakup with singer Peso Pluma. This time, she has not yet responded.
Nicki Nicole, whose real name is Nicole Denise Cucco, is a famous Argentinian singer and rapper, nominated for 8 Latin Grammys. She rose to fame in 2019 with the hit Wapo Traketero and has since collaborated with major artists such as Christina Aguilera, Becky G, and Bizarrap. Her Instagram account currently has over 22.4 million followers.
At just 18, Yamal is already considered one of the best players in the world, potentially competing for the 2025 Ballon d'Or. His Instagram account boasts over 38.3 million followers. Nicole is his third publicly known girlfriend, following Alex Padilla, 21, and Fati Vazquez, 29. This doesn't include rumored relationships of the young football star.
