In late July 2026, a TikTok video posted by influencer Inés García sparked unverified speculation regarding Lamine Yamal’s personal life, citing a message about ~~"carrying~~ “carrying a heart that beats with ~~yours."~~ yours.” Neither the player nor García confirmed the rumor. On 3 August, Yamal confirmed he was vacationing in Cartagena following his World Cup victory with Spain. After being welcomed by the city's mayor, he traveled to Medellín for the Feria de las Flores. During his stay in Medellín, the 19-year-old athlete participated in cultural activities in Comuna 13 and appeared alongside singer Ryan Castro and streamer Westcol. Wearing a Colombian national team jersey with the number 19, he joined a live rendition of the anthem ~~"El~~ “El ritmo que nos ~~une,"~~ une,” an event that went viral among thousands of fans. The extended Colombian tour generated widespread online attention but involved no official diplomatic or sporting engagements. Yamal subsequently returned to Barcelona to begin preseason preparations with FC Barcelona. On 9 August, reports from the Colombian outlet Semana added new layers to the ongoing speculation regarding Yamal's personal life. He was allegedly seen on a yacht with former Colombian beauty queen Valentina Rueda Rodríguez. This sighting has fueled online discussion regarding his relationship status with Inés García; while fans have noted a lack of joint social media posts, neither Yamal nor García has issued a statement to confirm a breakup or any change in their relationship. Subsequent investigations into the rumors clarified that controversial images appearing to show Yamal with another woman were AI-generated. Additionally, claims that García had unfollowed Yamal were debunked, as both parties continue to follow each other on social media. Throughout his travels, Yamal has reportedly used masks and specific clothing to maintain privacy in airports and public spaces.
