Is this Yamal’s new girlfriend? Barca star is spotted shopping with TikTok star

Fans think they have found out who Lamine Yamal's new girlfriend is after he was spotted shopping with a TikTok star.

Teen sensation Yamal has shot to fame over the past year after starring for Barcelona and Spain at the 2024 European Championship this summer, before picking up the 2024 Golden Boy award.

During his journey to the top, Yamal's love life also begins to take off. Over the summer, he reportedly dated Barcelona-based influencer Alex Padilla before they split.

Now fans think they have discovered Yamal's newest love interest after spotting him with TikTok star and model Anna Gegnoso in Barcelona's La Roca village.

In a video shared on Instagram, 17-year-old Yamal and 19-year-old Gegnoso were seen shopping just days after his return from injury, which came during Barca's 2-1 defeat to Las Palmas.

According to reports, Gegnoso, along with her influencer friend Fabiola Baglieri, flew all the way from Italy to cheer on the Golden Boy winner from the stands against Las Palmas.

Although she is not as famous as the Barcelona star, Gegnoso has a staggering following on social media. She has 595,000 followers on Instagram and another 835,000 on TikTok.

Over the summer, Yamal unfollowed his ex-girlfriend Alex Padilla on social media following a viral video, according to a report in Spain.

TikTok star Padilla was spotted apparently sitting on another boy's lap on an Instagram live video, sparking fevered speculation about the status of her relationship with Yamal.

Following Spain's victory at Euro 2024, where Yamal starred and took home the Young Player of the Tournament award, the pair were inseparable as they celebrated with his teammates and their friends and family on the pitch in Berlin .

Padilla, who has 1.7 million followers on TikTok, attended several of La Roja's group stage matches in Germany and was often seen alongside the Barcelona winger's family before they parted ways.

Meanwhile, Yamal made history earlier this month with his record-breaking Golden Boy Award – after announcing himself on the scene in style in 2024.

The Golden Boy award is presented every year to the young player who has shown that he or she is head and shoulders above the rest, as a sort of Ballon d'Or equivalent for youngsters in the top competitions.

It is an award that has been presented to the likes of Wayne Rooney, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé over its two decades in existence, with England superstar Jude Bellingham being the current title holder.

In total, England players have won the award three times – Raheem Sterling, the other Three Lions star to do so in 2014 – but four more were nominated this season in a stacked list of contenders.

There was stiff competition this season, with Adam Wharton, Kobbie Mainoo, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens and Rico Lewis all aiming for the gong, along with the likes of Warren Zaire-Emery, Alejandro Garnacho, Savio and Arda Guler.

Yet it was Yamal, the 17-year-old who helped La Roja to European Championship glory last summer, who was considered the best of them all.
