After emotional post on backlash, new rumor claims Yamal’s girlfriend is pregnant

The pregnancy rumor comes on the heels of a separate controversy García had just addressed.

Inés García, girlfriend of 19-year-old Barcelona and Spain forward Lamine Yamal, is facing a fresh wave of online speculation. Just hours after she posted an emotional statement addressing hateful comments about her past relationship, a new and unrelated claim began circulating. It states that she and Yamal are expecting a child.

The pregnancy post spread quickly across social media, with many users treating it as confirmed news even though nothing backs it up. There has been no official word from either Yamal or García on their verified accounts, and several fact-checking sources have already dismissed the claim as unsupported. This is only the latest in a growing list of unverified stories surrounding the young couple, which makes it worth pausing before sharing anything about them without checking first.

The pregnancy rumor comes on the heels of a separate controversy García had just addressed. She had been accused of ending a five-year relationship simply to date Yamal. In response, she posted a lengthy message on X, saying she never expected something as ordinary as sharing her life online to spiral into this level of attention.

In her post, she explained she had spent hours reading through the comments directed at her. She said that despite trying to stay strong, she is still a person, someone who feels, who cries, who makes mistakes, and who does not stop being human just because she is in a public relationship.

Her statement followed days of intense scrutiny that picked up after Spain’s World Cup win over Argentina, when viral clips of the couple celebrating together reignited questions about the timeline of their romance. García has consistently denied being involved with someone else before her relationship with Yamal became public. She has also had to step in and clarify which of her social media accounts are genuinely hers, after fake profiles began spreading false information under her name.

As things stand, the pregnancy claim remains completely unconfirmed. Neither García nor Yamal has said anything about it, and given how much misinformation has already followed this couple, the rumor is likely to keep spreading unless one of them chooses to address it directly.
