Lamine Yamal's Italian Getaway with a 29-Year-Old Influencer

Rumours have been circulating about a possible relationship between Lamine Yamal and Galician influencer Fati Vázquez, despite the FC Barcelona forward's efforts to deny such claims. However, exclusive photos published by Lecturas magazine have once again placed the young athlete and the content creator in the spotlight. The images show them enjoying a day on a yacht, riding jet skis, and swimming in the Mediterranean, exuding camaraderie and good vibes.

The subjects of the news have spoken out. Journalist Javier Hoyos had the chance to speak with the footballer, who repeatedly denied being involved with Fati Vázquez: "He keeps assuring me that he hasn't hooked up with Fati Vázquez," he shared on social media. Lamine, who will turn 18 on July 13, explained that the trip was "with his team," leading to confusion that he was with other Barcelona teammates. However, after the photos were published, it was clear that his companions were not footballers but members of his personal team. In any case, the young man reiterated that he is not with the Galician and that "within that trip with friends, there is a moment when they are together on the yacht, but there is nothing between them."

Indeed, judging by the posts both have made on social media, they have also been seen together at the same accommodation, dining at the same table, or lounging by the same pool, as both have shared glimpses of the idyllic spot chosen for their getaway.

Fati has expressed more frustration with the situation, not categorically denying the possible relationship. The 29-year-old influencer also spoke with a contributor from La familia de la tele to report that, following the news linking her to Lamine, "I have received death threats and messages calling me a pedophile." "I simply spent a few days with him," she explained. "I don't want to say anything more or give the matter any more attention or sensationalism, because I find it completely unnecessary," she stated. "We are two people who just want to have a good time, and that's it," she concluded.

She was quick to clarify that she is 29 years old, not 30, as the Lecturas headline suggests: "Lamine Yamal relaxes with a 30-year-old influencer." She noted that the situation is negatively affecting her family, and she is receiving constant insults. "I find it unfair. I haven't done anything wrong, I haven't killed anyone," she lamented.

Back in Galicia and feeling calmer, she posted images of herself relaxing in the Rías Baixas. "Imagine speaking ill of me while I'm here, like this," she wrote to her followers. "It's sad to see how some people harbor so much darkness that they wish death upon someone they don't even know," she pointed out, while expressing that "I choose to live with purpose, continue growing, and surround myself with light. To those who wish me harm, I wish healing, because no one who is at peace with themselves desires to destroy another."

With over a million followers on YouTube and Instagram, Fátima Vázquez, known as Fati Vázquez, launched her YouTube channel in 2016, where her harrowing account of childhood bullying went viral, a story she also shared in her book Y que vengan a por mí. In addition to content focused on wellness, fitness, and self-care, she has shared her experiences with cosmetic surgery.

Before her name was linked to Lamine Yamal, the influencer was in a long-term relationship with YouTuber Cristóbal 'Tobbalink', with whom she collaborated extensively. She also dated another footballer, Alexis López, and had a brief fling with Omar Montes, as she confessed on her Mtmad channel.

Meanwhile, Lamine Yamal has emerged as one of the latest sensations in national and international football. Some compare him on the pitch to Lionel Messi. A forward for FC Barcelona and the Spanish national team, he will turn 18 next month, and by then, he is expected to sign a contract with Barça that will keep him with the club until 2031.
