Lamine Yamal has denied rumors that he is dating or in a relationship with Fati Vazquez, a Spanish influencer. The Barcelona footballer, who is 17 years old, was seen on holiday in Italy. Fans noticed he and Vazquez, who is 30, posted pictures from the same places. They were both on a boat, by the same pool, and in a helicopter. This led to talk that they might be a couple.
In the below two pictures you can compare the locations (specifically the pool) posted by Yamal and Vazquez.
Yamal posted these pictures on last Thursday on June 12:
Vazquez posted these picture on Sunday, June 15.
Yamal spoke to journalist Javi de Hoyos to clear up the story. He said there is nothing going on between him and Vazquez.
“Exclusive, Lamine Yamal denies that he’s with the influencer Fati Vazquez,” Hoyos said in his Instagram post. (Translated by Google) “I’ll tell you everything because a lot has happened in the last few hours,…there’s several pieces of evidence, but I’ve been able to speak with Lamine Yamal and he categorically denies that he’s with her and says there’s nothing going on.”
De Hoyos explained that Yamal went on holiday with some of his Barcelona teammates. So, he suggested that Vazquez might be connected to another player, not Yamal.
“They (people around Yamal) tell me is that apparently Lamine Yamal would not have gone to this vacation spot alone, but with other Barça teammates,” Hoyos said. “Therefore, according to what these people tell me, Fati probably does have something going on with someone at Barça or is a friend of another Barça teammate.
“We’ll have to investigate who this is, but she has nothing to do with Lamine Yamal. He has categorically denied it and has authorized me to tell you so this doesn’t spread further.”
Fati Vazquez also reacted to rumors of her relationship with Lamine Yamal
Fati Vazquez also spoke out on social media. She did not confirm or deny the dating rumors. Instead, she said people had sent her hateful messages. Some even wished harm on her. She called this behavior sad and said that she just wants to live a peaceful life and grow.
Here is Vazquez’s statement from her Instagram story:
“It’s sad to see how some people carry so much darkness inside that they even wish death upon someone they don’t even know. What others project says more about them than about me. I choose to live with purpose, keep growing, and surround myself with light. To those who wish me ill, I wish them healing, because no one who is at peace with themselves wishes to destroy another. ❤️”
Vazquez used to work as a flight attendant. She is now a social media influencer with over one million followers. She often posts about fitness, travel, and healthy living. She has also written a book about being bullied as a teenager.
Lamine Yamal’s previous relationship with Alex Padilla
This is not the first time Yamal’s love life has made news. Last summer, he dated TikTok star Alex Padilla. They broke up after a video of her with another boy went viral, according to Daily Mail.
Yamal was later seen with another influencer, Anna Gegnoso according to reports from Mundo Deportivo, but nothing serious came from it.
Yamal is now expected to visit Brazil. He plans to meet Neymar, one of his childhood idols. He turns 18 in July and will return to training with Barcelona after his break. Yamal had a strong season, winning La Liga and the Copa del Rey. He will be one of Spain’s key players for the 2026 World Cup. Despite the rumors, his focus remains on football.
Update: Javi de Hoyos contacted both Lamine Yamal and Fati Vazquez
On Tuesday, Javi de Hoyos gave a new update about Lamine Yamal and Fati Vazquez on Instagram. He talked about their photos in Lecturas magazine. The magazine showed pictures of them during their vacation in Italy. Some people thought they looked like a couple.
De Hoyos said he spoke again with Yamal. Yamal told him clearly that he is not associated with Fati Vazquez. He also wanted to explain a small mistake from the earlier report. When Yamal said he was with his “team,” he meant his personal group, not his Barcelona teammates.
“I’m going to start with Lamine Yamal, because yesterday, you remember, he told me he (isn’t associated with) Fati Vázquez. He still maintains the same,” De Hoyos said. (Translated by Google). “He emphasizes one thing: yesterday I said that Lamine was with other people from the Barça team. He tells me that when he referred to the team, he was referring to his team, not Barça, that he was with people from his team.”
Yamal confirmed that he and Vazquez were on the same yacht. But he said that does not mean they are together. He was with his own friends during the trip. He said they were just in the same place at the same time.
“These images obviously exist…,” De Hoyos said. “there’s a moment when they’re together on the yacht, but there’s nothing between them.”
Fati Vazquez also spoke to De Hoyos on a show called La Familia de la Tele. She didn’t share many details but said there was too much talk online, and labeled it speculation.
“She said, ‘First of all, thank you for contacting me… to express myself and all that, because in the end, there’s a lot of speculation.'” De Hoyos quoted Vazquez.
Both Lamine Yamal and Vazquez have confirmed again that they are not in a relationship. They said the rumors are false.
