Photos shared on social media by both Yamal and Vazquez fueled speculation of a romantic relationship, as they featured similar objects and backgrounds in Italy. While no photos showed the two together, details such as a matching helicopter registration number and identical architecture of their accommodation led many to believe they were traveling together.

Yamal, quickly denied the dating rumors, stating they were simply friends, Mundo Deportivo reported.

Vazquez, a former flight attendant, left her aviation career to become a full-time influencer. The 29-year-old has amassed over a million followers on social media platforms by sharing content focused on lifestyle, healthy living and fitness.

She is also the author of a memoir recounting her experiences with harassment during her teenage years, a story that resonated with and earned widespread support from her followers.

Following his breakout performance at Euro 2024, Yamal has frequently made headlines not only for his talent but also for his personal life. The 17-year-old was previously linked to model Anna Gegnoso, with whom he was spotted shopping at La Roca Village in Barcelona last December.

Yamal's most notable relationship was with Alex Padilla, who was seen celebrating Euro 2024 with his family. After several times getting back together, the pair ultimately ended their relationship earlier this year.
