• A photo of a lipstick mark on Yamal’s cheek—attributed by him to his mother—is alleged to match one Nicole posted kissing a friend, with fans also noting identical brick-wall backdrops.
• Nicole’s recent social media video featuring the song "The Boy Is Mine" accompanied by a wink was interpreted by Hoyos as an implicit confirmation of the rumored relationship.
• Neither Yamal nor Nicole has publicly confirmed or denied the reports, allowing speculation to dominate Spanish and Latin American entertainment outlets.
