EKO HOT BLOG reports that according to South American media reports, Nicole, 25, was said to have started dating Yamal just two weeks ago, but speculation now links her with Real Madrid’s 18-year-old rising star Franco Mastantuono.

The development has stirred chatter not only because of Nicole’s popularity but also due to the rivalry between Barcelona and Real Madrid. Mastantuono, who joined the Spanish champions from River Plate this summer, operates in a similar attacking role to Yamal and is already being touted as one of La Liga’s brightest teenage prospects.

Nicole, whose full name is Nicole Denise Cucco, commands a massive fan base with over 22 million Instagram followers and nearly 18 million monthly listeners on Spotify. She has remained silent on the rumors but is no stranger to links with footballers. In 2024, she was speculated to have been involved with Chelsea and Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernández.

On the football side, Yamal has started the season strongly for Barcelona, scoring two goals and providing three assists in just three appearances. Mastantuono, meanwhile, has featured in three La Liga matches for Real Madrid but is yet to open his scoring account.

Whether the speculation proves true or not, the alleged shift in Nicole’s attention has added another layer to the rivalry between Barcelona and Real Madrid, with two teenage talents now finding themselves in the spotlight for reasons beyond football.
