Photo: Yamal spending quality time with OnlyFans model Fati Vazquez

Spanish influencer Fati Vazquez, aged 29 or 30 (her age is reported as both in different outlets), has gone viral after being spotted on vacation in Italy at the same locations and times as 17-year-old football sensation Lamine Yamal. The overlap in their social media posts—showing similar backgrounds like distinctive rocky coastlines, pools, and even what fans claimed were Yamal’s shoes in Vázquez’s Instagram Stories—sparked widespread rumors of a romantic relationship between the two, fueled further by paparazzi photos of them together on a scooter and jet ski.

The 13-year age gap, with Yamal still being under 18 (he turns 18 on July 13), has drawn significant public backlash. Many social media users have criticized the dynamic, with some expressing outrage that an adult would vacation with a minor, and others pointing out the double standards if the genders were reversed.

Fati Vazquez’s Response

Amid the escalating controversy, Fati Vazquez has spoken out on social media, revealing that she has received severe online abuse, including death threats, not just targeting her but also affecting her family and close friends. In her statement, she said:

“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 also clarified on Spanish TV that she is actually 29, not 30, and emphasized, “I haven’t done anything, haven’t killed anyone. The reactions are just too heavy and it’s even affecting him [Lamine]. We’re just two people who want to have a good time, and that’s it.”

Lamine Yamal’s Position

Lamine Yamal has not made a direct public statement, but according to Spanish journalist and influencer Javi de Hoyos, who claims to have spoken with Yamal, the footballer “categorically denies” any romantic involvement with Vázquez and insists “they have nothing going on”. De Hoyos further suggested that Vázquez might be linked to another Barcelona player, and that Yamal was vacationing with other teammates as well, not just Vázquez.
