The romantic story surrounding young talent Lamine Yamal (Barcelona) continues to stir attention after influencer Fati Vazquez publicly revealed sensitive details about their encounter at a villa in Italy.

In her latest interview, Fati recalled her first date with Yamal: “I arrived in the morning. Yamal’s driver took me to the villa, and his agent said, ‘He’s still asleep, just go in and wake him up.’”

The influencer laughed as she remembered that moment, then shared that the two quickly got ready for a prearranged boat trip. Interestingly, Fati confirmed that the plan was identical to the one Yamal had arranged for another girl just a few days earlier: “Yamal’s dating routine seems to be the same — a boat ride, a massage, and a walk.”

After the short getaway in Italy, Fati went on to Barcelona to meet Yamal’s close friends. However, upon learning that he had gone on a similar “date” with someone else, she decided to decline his invitation to attend his birthday party.

According to several sources, that very party was where Lamine Yamal and Argentine singer Nicki Nicole officially began their now-public romantic relationship. Of course, had Fati shown up that day, Yamal might not have “hit it off” with Nicki.

Fati chose to keep her distance and avoid getting involved in the controversy but admitted she had heard the chatter on social media: “People were calling her ‘Nicki Trepol’ — a kind of inappropriate mockery. I don’t know her personally, so I can’t judge.”

Fati’s remarks have once again pushed Lamine Yamal’s private life into the spotlight of Spanish media. At just 18, the young star — now happily dating Nicki and seen as one of Barcelona’s brightest hopes — has also been reminded, as the 2025 Ballon d’Argent winner, to maintain a balanced lifestyle to avoid injuries.
