Ahead of the World Cup, Spain's National Team star Lamine Yamal has been caught in a dating controversy with Seville influencer Inés García.
Speculation about their romance was fueled by a video showing the youngsters walking hand in hand in Greece.
They were already spotted dining together at a restaurant in Barcelona weeks before the Greece video went viral.

Not only did netizens assume they had more than a friendship, but some alleged that Inés dumped her boyfriend of five years to be with the FC Barcelona player.
There were also claims that the influencer was busted for cheating on her boyfriend during what was supposed to be a “girl’s trip.”
None of these claims has been confirmed by either Inés or Lamine.

“Spanish language Twitter has been blowing up about this for the last 24 hours.
Another said, “If your girl's 'girls trip' includes influencers + footballers, just send her the breakup text before she boards the plane.”

“Calling an 18-year-old kid with braces on ugly is wild,” one said. Another agreed saying, “There is no world where Lamine Yamal is ugly lmao.”
Another claimed, “Ines Garcia left her boyfriend of 5 years when footballer Lamine Yamal texted her on Instagram. He flew her out.”

“Her boyfriend is handsome, treated her right, loved her,” the same user continued. “But she still left him for a guy she has no future with. Modern women only want money, they don't deserve anything.”
“The boyfriend will also leave her if yamal had texted,” wrote another.

Following relentless speculation about her dating life, Inés shared a video on social media, where she denied breaking up with a boyfriend of 5 years.
“I wasn’t going to say anything or give this topic any attention at all. I didn’t want to get involved in this, but at what point has it been said on Twitter (now X) or anywhere else that I had been in a five-year relationship with my friend Gonzalo and that I left him to be with someone else?” she said in Spanish.
She claimed it didn’t make sense and that there was no consistency in the claims.

“We can say anything just for the sake of talking, but I think it’s nonsense. And that’s it—it doesn’t make any sense,” she added.
The influencer claimed there was zero proof or logic in the claims shared online.
“Honestly, it makes no sense. I wasn’t going to give this any importance because it’s ridiculous, but what is this? Zero proof and zero logic,” she said.

“I don’t know where you get everything you make up from. That I’ve been with him for five years and left him for someone else? Hahahahaha,” she added.
Lamine is currently recovering from a torn hamstring in his left leg, which he suffered in April this year.
Although he had to sit out the remaining leg of Barcelona’s season, he is expected to join the Spanish national team for the 2026 World Cup matches in the US, Mexico, and Canada.

The Barcelona forward may be benched for Spain’s group-stage opener against Cape Verde on June 15.
His participation in the second match against Saudi Arabia on June 21 also remains in doubt.
But he is expected to be back in action in Spain’s game against Uruguay on June 26.
Journalist Javi Hoyos said Lamine and Inés have maintained that there is nothing romantic between them.
“They deny that anything is happening between them. For the moment, nothing is going on, but maybe it will,” Javi was quoted as saying by Marca in response to the rumors.
“Is there no hope for the common man anymore? ... We can't all be famous,” one commented online
