The short but tumultuous love story between Barcelona star Lamine Yamal and Argentine singer Nicki Nicole appears to have come to an end. Even though they only split two weeks ago, Nicki just set social media on fire with a shocking announcement: she’s pregnant for the first time in her life.
However, what has really left the public speechless are the results of a DNA test that supposedly confirms that the baby’s father is not Yamal. The news spread like wildfire through the entertainment press, once again placing Nicki Nicole’s name on covers around the world, but not because of her music. A source close to the singer revealed that Nicki discovered her pregnancy just days after her relationship with Yamal ended quietly. Initially, many believed that the child was the result of that brief but intense relationship between the two. But, according to an exclusive report in a Spanish magazine, recent medical tests have ruled out that possibility, unleashing a new storm of speculation: “If not Yamal, then who?”
A former friend of Nicki’s commented: “She was shocked and didn’t want it to become a topic on the internet. But things got out of control.” Meanwhile, Yamal’s entourage has maintained absolute silence, without comments or reactions, except for a single publication on social networks: “The truth always finds its way to reveal itself.” The online community is abuzz. Thousands of comments have appeared in just a few hours, divided into two camps: one defends Yamal, arguing that he has been dragged into an “unnecessary scandal”, while the other questions whether there is something that both are trying to hide.
The European press is already speculating about the identity of the “mystery man” that Nicki Nicole could have met in recent weeks. Some tabloids even claim that she was seen at a party in Ibiza with a famous Latin singer, just days after breaking up with Yamal. Although there is no official confirmation, this incident has become the focus of attention of the international entertainment industry. The love story between the young culé star and the sensual singer has mutated into a “media storm”, with millions of people awaiting each new development.
If just two weeks ago people were still lamenting the unfinished love of the young couple, now everyone is asking the same question: Who is the real father of the child that Nicki Nicole is carrying in her womb? This situation has revived interest in the private life of Lamine Yamal, the Spanish football prodigy who, at 18, has already conquered the world with his talent on the field, but now faces a whirlwind off it. Let us remember that his romance with Nicki, 25, began in the summer of 2025, when the Barcelona forward and the Argentine rapper met during a vacation. What started as a discreet flirtation turned into a public relationship full of romantic gestures: photos on the beach, dedications in songs and appearances by Nicki at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, cheering Yamal on from the stands with his number 19 shirt.
The breakup, confirmed by Yamal himself in an impromptu interview during a friend’s wedding, was described by him as “a mutual and drama-free decision.” «We are not together, but it was not because of infidelity. We just split up and that’s it. “Everything that is said has nothing to do with us,” the footballer declared to a journalist from D Corazón. However, Nicki’s pregnancy announcement, shared in an Instagram story with a blurry image of an ultrasound and a heart emoji, has completely changed the narrative. The singer, known for hits like “Wapo trakala” and “No me sueltes”, did not mention names in her publication, but the timing – just two weeks after the separation – made speculation point directly to Yamal.
The dramatic turn came with the leak of the DNA test results. According to the Spanish magazine ¡Hola!, which obtained anonymous medical documents, the test carried out in a private clinic in Buenos Aires ruled out any genetic link between Yamal and the fetus. «Nicki is devastated. “She discovered the pregnancy during a routine check-up and, although at first she thought about the possibility that it was Lamine’s, the tests denied everything,” the close source revealed. This revelation has unleashed a wave of conspiracy theories on TikTok and Twitter (now Some fans defend the Argentine, arguing that she deserves privacy at such a delicate moment, while others accuse Yamal of having “used” her to gain popularity.
For its part, Yamal’s silence has been deafening. The young man, who recently renewed his contract with Barcelona until 2031 and is emerging as a candidate for the 2026 Ballon d’Or, limited himself to that cryptic post on Instagram: a photo of a sunrise with the phrase “The truth always finds its way to reveal itself.” His followers interpreted the message as a veiled dig, but his agent has denied any involvement in the scandal, emphasizing that Lamine is focused on his recovery from a groin injury that has kept him off the field for weeks.
Meanwhile, Nicki Nicole has attempted to regain control of the narrative. In an exclusive interview with Rolling Stone Latin America magazine, the singer admitted: «This is a moment of vulnerability for me, but also of empowerment. “The baby is a blessing, and I’m not going to let the rumors define me.” Although he avoided details about fatherhood, he mentioned that he has been working on new material inspired by “personal transformations.” Her former friend, in an anonymous chat with the Argentine media Infobae, added: «Nicki has always been discreet with her love life. I was excited about Lamine, but the cultural differences and media pressure were too much. Now, with the pregnancy, she just wants peace for herself and her son.
The tabloids have not been slow to point out possible candidates for the title of “mysterious father.” The most popular is the rumor of a fleeting romance with the Puerto Rican reggaeton player Bad Bunny, with whom Nicki shared the stage at a festival in Ibiza at the end of October. Eyewitnesses, cited by The Sun newspaper, claim to have seen them “very affectionate” at a private party. Another name that is circulating is that of the Spanish streamer Ibai Llanos, although close sources strongly deny it. «Nicki has been alone since the breakup. The father is someone from the artistic circle, but prefers anonymity for now,” an insider leaked to TMZ.
This scandal has even overshadowed Yamal’s performance in the Champions League, where Barcelona is struggling to advance in the group stage. On the networks, the debate is fierce: one side accuses Nicki of “putting on a show to promote her career”, while the other supports Yamal, remembering that at her age she has already faced immense pressures. Influencers like Spanish podcaster Gerard Romero have dedicated entire episodes to the topic, analyzing how this “football soap opera” reflects the dangers of early fame.
On the international scene, the case has crossed borders. In Argentina, where Nicki is a trap icon, the pregnancy has been celebrated as a “new chapter of female empowerment”, with figures like Tini Stoessel sending her messages of support. In Spain, however, the sports press links it to Yamal’s future: will this controversy affect his concentration on the field? Coach Hansi Flick, in a press conference, avoided the topic: «Lamine is a professional. “What happens outside we handle internally.”
As the hours pass, the storm does not let up. Nicki has temporarily disabled comments on her posts to avoid harassment, while Yamal trains quietly at La Masia. The question everyone is asking – who is the father? – hangs in the air like a series cliffhanger. Whoever it is, this baby will come into the world under the spotlight of a story that began with kisses on the beach and ended in global headlines. For Lamine Yamal and Nicki Nicole, what was a dream romance has become a brutal lesson about love, fame and secrets that, sooner or later, come to light. The world of entertainment and football holds its breath, waiting for the next chapter of this saga that has captivated millions.
