Who is Lamine Yamal’s girlfriend? Meet the influencer Inés García

Lamine Yamal has become one of football’s biggest young stars, dazzling fans with his performances for Barcelona in Spain.

But away from the pitch, the 19-year-old’s relationship with Spanish influencer Inés García has also attracted attention.

Here is everything to know about Yamal’s girlfriend, their relationship and what the footballer could win in London.

Born in July 2007, he rose through Barcelona’s academy before becoming a first team regular while still a teenager. His performances have established him as one of the most exciting young talents in the game.

Yamal has already garnered major honors with club and country, while his performances have drawn comparisons with some of football’s biggest names.

Inés García, also known as Inés García Santos, is a Spanish fashion, beauty and lifestyle influencer based in Seville.

She shares content on social media, including Instagram and TikTok, where she has built her own following.

By the time their relationship went public in May 2026, Hello! reported that she had more than 100,000 followers on Instagram and over 500,000 on TikTok.

García has generally kept her personal life relatively private, but interest in her increased after she was linked to Yamal.

The influencer has since opened up about their relationship, including how they first connected and why their romance began long before they were photographed together in Greece.

Yamal and García met on social media, according to the influencer.

According to Hello! Magazine, García explained that people began to notice the couple together during their trip to Greece in April 2026, but said that they have known each other for much longer.

“Not quite three years, but many more months than people realize, even now,” she told her followers online.

She also explained that their relationship developed slowly, with the couple talking for a long time before meeting in person.

Their relationship became public in May 2026, when they attended a Barcelona celebration together. Their appearance fueled speculation that they were dating, before reports identified García as Yamal’s girlfriend.

The pair were then seen together during Spain’s 2026 World Cup campaign, with García supporting the footballer from the stands.

The 2026 Ballon d’Or ceremony will take place at the London Palladium on Monday 26 October, marking the first time the prestigious football awards will be held in London.

The ceremony celebrates the 70th anniversary of the Ballon d’Or, which was first awarded in 1956 to English footballer Sir Stanley Matthews.

Yamal is among the nominees for the Ballon d’Or for men and the Young Talent of the Year for men. It is not yet confirmed whether García will attend the ceremony alongside him.

The event brings together some of the biggest names in world football, with awards recognizing individual achievements, emerging talent, goalkeepers, coaches and clubs.
