This summer I\u2019m going to take many trips, which you\u2019ll see, both in Spain and abroad…\u201d<\/p>\n Rumors about Garc\u00eda and Yamal\u2019s relationship began circulating after the pair was seen together<\/a> during a trip to Greece in spring 2026.<\/p>\n But according to Garc\u00eda, the story behind how they met is much simpler than many fans believed.<\/p>\n While traveling to Los Angeles for Spain\u2019s World Cup match against Austria, she addressed the rumors directly on TikTok<\/a>. \u201cYou\u2019re probably expecting some perfect, crazy love story. Like I saw him in a store, the way it supposedly went down… my savior, my hero,\u201d she said, via Hola!<\/em><\/a>. \u201cHere\u2019s the real story: 3, 2, 1… social media!\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019d love to tell you some super crazy story,\u201d she continued. \u201cLike I saw him at an airport, or ran into him and dropped my papers, and he helped me pick them up. Nope, nope, nope. We met on social media.\u201d<\/p>\n Garc\u00eda also pushed back on the idea that their relationship began shortly before they were photographed together in Greece.<\/p>\n \u201cPeople started seeing us together when we went to Greece,\u201d she explained. \u201cI\u2019ve known Lamine for a lot longer than that. Not quite three years, but a good deal more months than people realize, even now.\u201d<\/p>\n She added that the relationship developed gradually.<\/p>\n \u201cWe gave things time,\u201d she said. \u201cWe also spent a long time talking before seeing each other.\u201d<\/p>\n After sparking dating rumors, Garc\u00eda and Yamal confirmed their relationship by attending<\/a> FC Barcelona\u2019s end-of-season celebration dinner together in May 2026.<\/p>\n The pair arrived together and later left the event holding hands, marking their first official appearance as a couple.<\/p>\n Since Spain\u2019s opening match, Garc\u00eda has regularly<\/a> shared photos<\/a> from stadiums across the United States as she cheers on Yamal throughout his first World Cup.<\/p>\n After his first World Cup goal against Saudi Arabia, Garc\u00eda celebrated on Instagram Stories<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThe best player in the world is at 2,000,000 percent, and he\u2019s also in good hands,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n Yamal later returned the support after scoring his first World Cup goal, telling DAZN<\/a>: \u201c[I dedicate the goal] to my mother, my girlfriend, to my friends, and everyone back at home in Matar\u00f3.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
