Rumors are once again swirling around the personal life of Barcelona’s 18-year-old prodigy. According to the show En todas las salsas and journalist Anna Gurgui, Barcelona and Spain winger Lamine Yamal appears to have started a new relationship following his breakup with Argentine singer Nicki Nicole.
Word is, the footballer’s new flame is none other than 21-year-old British model and influencer Lily Rowland. With a massive following—more than four million fans on Instagram and TikTok—Lily is rapidly building her media career.
It’s reported that Yamal and Rowland don’t actually follow each other on social media, but eagle-eyed fans have spotted that they regularly like each other’s posts. These little details have only fueled speculation about a possible romance between the two.
The rumor mill kicked into overdrive after beIN Sports reported that Lily had been in Barcelona in recent weeks. On top of that, she previously posted photos wearing the Catalan club’s jersey and shared snaps from the stands at the stadium.
The source also claims that Lily previously maintained a friendly relationship with Nicki Nicole, but about a month ago, the two stopped interacting on social media. Coincidence or not? That remains an open question—but the fact has only intensified fans’ suspicions.
