Lamine Yamal ‘unfollows girlfriend’ after TikTok video ‘shows her sitting on another boy’s lap’ weeks after going public
LAMINE YAMAL has unfollowed his girlfriend Alex Padilla on social media after she appeared in a viral video.
Alex was spotted in an Instagram live video sitting on another boy’s lap.
It came just weeks after the pair looked loved up on the pitch in Berlin following Spain’s Euro 2024 triumph.
The couple have since jetted off to Milan and Greece together as Yamal made the most of his time off.
However, the 17-year-old sensation has now unfollowed Alex on Instagram, according to Mundo Deportivo.
She has also unfollowed the Barcelona starlet on the platform as well as removing all of her posts.
Footage of Alex sitting on the boy’s lap quickly went viral after fans spotted it on social media.
Several fans even posted screenshots of messages they had sent to Alex, accusing her of “cheating” on Yamal.
The pair went public with their relationship following the final victory over England earlier this month.
Yamal cosied up to the TikTok star as they posed for photos with the trophy and his young player of the tournament award.

Inside the baffling, brilliant story of Lamine Yamal – from being bathed by Messi to doing homework while taking Euros by storm
LAMINE YAMAL has confirmed his status as football’s next superstar at Euro 2024 – but has only been playing 11-a-side games for four years, write Jack Rosser.
Spain’s incredible 16-year-old bent home the goal of the tournament so far against France as La Roja sealed the spot in the final.
But his first five years in Barcelona’s academy were spent playing seven-a-side football, up until the age of 12 in 2020 when he finally got a crack at 11-a-side games.
Yamal’s story is baffling, brilliant and barely believable in equal measure.
He is a boy born to a Moroccan father and a mother from Equatorial Guinea, who turned 17 the day before the Euros final, and was cradled by footballing royalty at just six months old.
Staggering pictures of Yamal as a baby being held and bathed by Messi, taken for a Barcelona charity calendar 16 years ago, resurfaced this week.
He did not restrict his brushes with greatness to Barcelona either, with footage of Yamal as an academy player walking as a mascot with Spain and Real Madrid icon Sergio Ramos at an El Clasico in 2016.
There is a touch of fate about this gem, Spain’s “little MVP”, as team-mate Nico Williams has dubbed him.
Yamal has been doing homework in his spare time and received exam results during the tournament. He passed, obviously.
Now he’s the youngest ever goalscorer at the Euros, also becoming the youngest player to ever start a major semi-final – claiming that title from Pele.
But it’s Yamal’s humble approach on and off the pitch that most impresses everyone he meets.
And France star Adrien Rabiot probably felt quite embarrassed as he boarded his plane back home from Germany.
He had tried to intimidate Yamal ahead of their semi-final clash – telling Yamal he “needs to do more.”
Was this good enough, then? Yamal responded with a goal for the ages and a man of the match performance.
A season which started with a pre-season game against Tottenham where Yamal excelled but was overshadowed by Oliver Skipp scoring a brace will end on the biggest stage European football has to offer on Sunday.
From being outshone by Skipp to eclipsing Pele’s records is not a bad year’s work – just imagine what he will do when he grows up.
