Alex Padilla denies cheating on Lamine Yamal & reacts to Barcelona star's new relationship with Nicki Nicole

Padilla has faced infidelity rumours ever since her relationship with teen sensation Yamal broke down. They were seen together at Euro 2024, as Spain swept their way to continental glory on German soil.

Yamal and Padilla remained an item at the 2024 Globe Soccer Awards, but went their separate ways in February 2025. Barcelona’s new No.10 has been linked with a number of new partners since then.

He appears to be cosying up with Argentine rapper Nicole at present, with the pair posting pictures on social media of them getting close at another birthday celebration. While no longer a part of Yamal’s life, Padilla is struggling to drag herself out of the spotlight.

During a TikTok live session with close friends, Padilla was once again forced to address claims that she split with Yamal after cheating on the La Masia academy graduate. She said: “I am not unfaithful to anyone. I have never been unfaithful.”

Padilla then became visibly uncomfortable as fans flooded the comment section of her chat with mentions of Nicole. Padilla went on to suggest that she has potentially explosive stories up her sleeve, saying: “If I were to speak… the world will fall apart.”

Yamal has moved on from Padilla, as he enjoys the honeymoon period of a new relationship, and the 18-year-old appears to have avoided any off-field distractions as he continues to star for Barca and generate more Ballon d’Or talk.
