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.

De Hoyos further suggested that Vazquez might be interested in another Barcelona player. The significant age gap between Yamal and Vazquez sparked considerable online discussion and, unfortunately, some abusive comments directed at Vazquez.

Vazquez responded to the online negativity via Instagram, saying: “It’s sad to see how some people carry so much darkness inside that they get to wish death on someone they don’t even know.”

“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.

Vazquez, who boasts over a million followers across YouTube and Instagram, has transitioned from her flight attendant career to focus on social media, sharing content related to fitness and healthy eating. She has also authored a book about her experiences with bullying.

Yamal's relationship status appears to be single. He previously dated TikTok influencer Alex Padilla last summer, but the relationship ended shortly after. He was also linked to another TikTok star, Anna Gegnoso, in December, but they are not currently together.

Yamal recently posted a photo of himself at the airport before a trip to Brazil, where he hopes to meet his childhood hero, Neymar.
