Barcelona’s 17-year-old forward Lamine Yamal has had to respond to rumours that he is dating a 30-year-old flight attendant.
Barcelona teen star Lamine Yamal has had to address rumours surrounding a luxurious Italian vacation he took with 30-year-old Spanish flight attendant and social media influencer Fati Vazquez.
Yamal, enjoying some downtime after Spain's Nations League final defeat, was pictured in the same Italian locale as Vazquez. Photos of the pair enjoying boat trips, poolside relaxation, and helicopter rides fueled speculation of a romantic relationship.
However, Yamal, 17, denied the rumours through gossip columnist Javi de Hoyos, stating categorically that he and Vazquez are not involved. He clarified that he was vacationing with other Barcelona teammates, not just Vazquez.

“What others project speaks more about them than me. I choose to live with purpose, continue to grow and surround myself with light. To those who wish me evil, I wish them healing, because no one who is well with himself wishes to destroy another,” she added as quoted by the Dailymail.
