The couple was last seen together at the end of August, celebrating Nicki's 25th birthday just a month after they were spotted sharing a kiss at a nightclub.

Javier de Hoyos, who first reported on their relationship, stated on the showbiz program D Corazon on La 1, the Spanish equivalent of BBC1: “Lamine Yamal has just contacted me.

“This is an exclusive. Lamine tells me he and Nicki, who was his girlfriend, are no longer together.

“However, he wants to clarify a few things because there has been a lot of speculation regarding his fidelity to Nicki.”

While looking at his mobile phone, Javier continued, “He has clarified this. He says they are no longer together and that it is not due to any infidelity. We have simply parted ways, and that is all.

“Everything that has been reported is unrelated to our relationship.

“Lamine assures me that his recent trip to Italy is not connected to this situation, stating he was no longer dating Nicki when he went and has not been involved with anyone else.”

Both Lamine and Nicki have yet to comment on their social media accounts, nearly 24 hours after the broadcast.

Earlier this month, the star couple shared clips from their holiday while Lamine was sidelined due to a groin injury.

Recent reports from Spanish media indicated that Lamine had secretly met with Italian influencer Anna Gegnoso during a trip to Milan, reigniting rumors of a previous affair between them.

The young athlete, currently ranked second in the 2025 Ballon d’Or standings, has been in the news lately due to his health issues and his connection to Shakira's former residence.

Catalan daily Sport reports that Lamine is dealing with a condition called Pubalgia, which causes discomfort in the pubic area due to muscle convergence.

Barcelona officials are reportedly concerned that this condition may become chronic with no clear solution.

Yesterday, the footballer shared a photo of himself outside a luxury property, identified as the former home of ex-Barcelona star Pique and singer Shakira before their contentious split in 2022.

This came after Spanish media reports that he purchased the property for £9.5 million and plans to reside there with his cousin and a friend.
