Lamine Yamal’s girlfriend, Alex Padilla, has responded to recent cheating allegations against her.
The rumours began after she was reportedly seen on an Instagram Live video sitting on another boy’s lap.
This follows a recent romantic moment they shared on the pitch in Berlin after Spain’s Euro 2024 win.
Since then, they’ve travelled together to Milan and Greece, where sharp-eyed users spotted them checking in at the airport.
However, according to Mundo Deportivo, the 17-year-old Barcelona star has unfollowed Alex on Instagram.
In response, Alex has also unfollowed him and removed all posts related to him.
The video of Alex sitting on another boy’s lap quickly went viral after fans shared it on social media.

In another post, the Spanish influencer firmly denied any wrongdoing.
