Lamine Yamal, the Barcelona prodigy and Spain star, has unfollowed his reported girlfriend, Alex Padilla, on social media after a video of her sitting on another guy’s lap went viral. The couple had publicly confirmed their relationship with an affectionate display on the pitch following Spain’s Euro final win over England. They were also spotted together in Milan and Greece, sharing images of their luxurious apartment and breakfast views on Instagram.
However, the situation took a turn when a viral Instagram live video showed Padilla sitting on Izan Fernández’s lap. In the video, she was heard saying, “Stop it, you’re going to ruin me,” before the stream abruptly ended. As a result, Yamal unfollowed Padilla on social media2. The 20-year-old Padilla is a student based in Barcelona and reportedly studying in the city.
Meanwhile, Yamal is currently enjoying his vacation in Marbella with Nico Williams, Barca’s hottest target. The two footballers separately unwound with their families after the tournament and have been spotted at Marbella’s top spots, including the Mosh Group’s show restaurant, ‘Mosh Fun Kitchen’3.
In a surprising move, Yamal chose the number 19 jersey for the 2024/25 season, a number previously worn by Lionel Messi during his early days at Barcelona. Speculations had suggested other numbers, but Yamal’s decision caught fans off guard.
