Spanish soccer star Lamine Yamal recently soft-launched his romance with Argentine rapper-singer Nicki Nicole. He has an estimated net worth of $8 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
On August 25, 2025, the Barcelona footballer shared an Instagram story posing cosily with Nicole, in front of a birthday cake and roses, and balloons in the background. A cake and ink heart emojis accompanied the Story.
The moment seemed to be from Nicki’s 25th birthday, which she celebrated on Monday. She, too, reposted his story on her IG stories with five hearts on fire emojis.
Elsewhere, Yamal shared a carousel of images and videos in her latest caption-less Instagram post, which also had glimpses of the Colocao songstress.
One clip showed Lamine Yamal checking out his night look in front of a mirror, while Nicki Nicole reportedly appeared in the reflection. Another video had Yamal spending a date night on the balcony and blowing out kisses, with Nicki seemingly capturing the moments from behind the camera.
Other photos of cake slices and birthday décor were also part of the post. Notably, the pair has been linked since the summer of 2025, when she attended his 18th birthday bash in July. Later, Yamal and Nicole were spotted vacationing together in Monaco and at other events. However, they didn’t confirm the dating rumors.
