The pair eventually went Instagram official on August 25 with a smitten post together. While celebrating the Latin artist's birthday, the lovebirds cosied up for a photo together in front of her birthday cake. Yamal captioned the snap, posted to his Stories, with only a cake and a love heart emoji.   But now the pair are thought to have called time on their relationship, according to Marca, just 13 days after going public.   Lamine Yamal and his girlfriend Nicki Nicole have reportedly split just 13 days after going official The pair sparked romance rumours when Nicole was spotted attending the Barcelona star's 18th birthday celebrations. She was later pictured in the stands to watch Yamal and his side take on Como The pair have however now removed all traces of each other from their social media pages Rumours of a break-up have circulated after both Nicole and Yamal removed all traces of each other from their social media pages.   Some fans have however speculated that there were no long-lasting posts on Instagram before-hand, but just Stories which expire after 24 hours.   Yamal's private life has indeed attracted a lot of attention in the last few months following reports that he held a bash which allegedly 'exploited dwarves' and featured women with 'specific breast measurements' who were claimed to have been 'paid to attend'.   One image showed a group of five men with Achondroplasia appearing to be registered for the party. Another image showed women passing through the checkpoint. Yamal turned 18 on July 13, with around 200 people attending the event including friends, family and team-mates. Speaking last month Jesus Martin, the General Director of Disability in the government, called for ministers to approve an investigation. The party took place at a private estate and was held with theme inspired by the Mafia. Yamal landed himself in hot water this summer for an 18th birthday party Nicole is said to have attended  Spanish model, Calvo, who was Miss Teenager Spain 2021 and Miss Teenager Europe 2022, claimed she was asked to attend the event. Calvo alleged that organisers were seeking to hire 12 blonde women with specific breast sizes to attend the celebration. She claimed the women would have been paid up to 20, 000 euros, but would need to be available for 24 hours, with the location of the event not disclosed to them.   lvo claimed she had backed out of the event after receiving the list of demands. Despite his youth, Yamal has already managed to find himself embroiled in a scandal involving an Only Fans star. Yamal had initially been linked with 30-year-old social media influencer and star of the adult entertainment website Fati Vazquez after the pair were spotted holidaying together. However, rumours later spread after the teenager shared a photo on social media with a prominent red kiss on his cheek. The aforementioned Nicole, then 24, later posted a snap of her friend with the same red kiss, also on her cheek. Spanish gossip expert Javi Hoyos shared more details on the alleged romance, claiming they had kissed days after Yamal's controversial 18th birthday party. 'This girl tells me that at Lamine Yamal's birthday party they didn't hook up, there was a lot of flirting, but a couple of weeks later, on July 24th, they did go to a club on the beach and they did kiss and left together at four in the morning, ' Hoyos said. Hoyos then challenged Yamal and Nicole to confirm or deny his story. Yamal had been the subject of headlines earlier this summer after holidaying with Fati Vazquez (pictured), a flight attendant and Only Fans model 12 years his senior  Former wonderkid Freddy Adu has sent a warning to Yamal about his dating life on the back of the Barcelona teenager making headlines for the wrong reasons. The former USA international, who joined DC United at the age of 14, has admitted he made mistakes as a youngster which led to failing to live up to his potential. Adu, speaking via Unibet football odds, said: 'So obviously all eyes are on him all the time, and that's hard. That's really hard. For me personally, I couldn't just be a regular kid, and this is coming from someone in America and in the States, football isn't even the biggest sport here! 'Yet I was going through that. I can't even imagine how it is for him over there in Spain. It's probably just magnified 1000 times, because that is the national sport. He plays for the biggest team, it's the national sport, everywhere he goes, everything he does; all eyes are on him. And that's hard. As a young player, when you're put in a situation like that, it's just very, very difficult to handle. 'My advice would be for him to just put his head down, train and just focus on his craft. Because there will be a lot of distractions. And I'm sure there is right now. I mean, there's been some stuff in the newspapers that I've seen where he was with a woman that was way older than he was or whatever, on vacation and whatnot, and everybody's talking about it. Every little thing he does is going to be talked about. 'If you're going to go on holiday with an older woman just make sure the only person you go with is your mother! Because at this point, no matter what you it's going to get talked about, and it's a lot of distractions. So you don't want to make let that become your whole narrative surrounding you as a player. You don't want that. You wanted to be focused on the field. 'When I was young, I made a lot of mistakes. I was young, and I made mistakes. I hung out with some friends and somebody took a picture of me out at a party or whatever, and it became a big deal. I didn't think it was, but it became a big deal. And then the narrative becomes that you're not focused on your game, that you're just out here hanging out with your friends and party. '
