However, Yamal has denied any romantic connection. Gossip journalist Javi de Hoyos said he spoke directly with the footballer, who “categorically denied” being in a relationship with Vazquez. De Hoyos added that Vazquez might simply be friends with someone else on the Barcelona squad.
The online world, however, hasn’t been kind. Many people reacted strongly to the age difference, sparking a wave of negative comments toward Vazquez. In response, she posted a statement on Instagram, expressing how hurtful the hateful messages have been.
“It’s sad how some people carry so much darkness inside that they wish death on someone they don’t even know,” she wrote. “To those who wish me evil, I wish them healing.”
Vazquez, who began her career as a flight attendant, now works full-time as a social media influencer. She shares fitness tips, healthy eating habits, and even wrote a book about being bullied in her teenage years. She now has over a million followers across platforms.
As for Yamal, he appears to be single. He previously dated TikTok influencer Alex Padilla last year, but they broke up shortly after a viral video stirred controversy. He was later seen with another influencer, Anna Gegnoso, in December, though it seems that relationship also didn’t last.
Yamal is now on his way to Brazil, where he’s expected to meet his childhood idol, Neymar. The young star has mentioned his admiration for the Brazilian forward in several interviews, and it looks like that long-awaited meeting is finally happening.
For now, Yamal is focused on enjoying his break—and shutting down the rumors.
