Overview

• After Spain’s 6-0 win over Turkey, Nico Williams posted a locker-room video where Lamine Yamal smiles at his phone and reveals a lock-screen photo with Nicki Nicole, captioned “Mi chaval está 'in love'.”
• The clip, shared on Instagram, quickly went viral and was picked up by outlets in Spain and Latin America.
• Recent social-media claims that the pair unfollowed each other or that Yamal deleted posts were contradicted by reporting that he had only shared expiring stories and that they still follow each other.
• The couple publicly confirmed their relationship on August 25 with a birthday photo on Yamal’s account, followed by images of a romantic setup with petals, candles, flowers and balloons.
• Neither Yamal nor Nicki Nicole has issued a formal statement, with coverage relying on their posts and sightings rather than direct comment.
