Alex Padilla has been active in a completely different field
Alex Padilla is a Spanish social media personality and student who became widely known in 2024 through her connection to Barcelona and Spanish footballer Lamine Yamal. Padilla posts on TikTok under the handle @alexpaadilla.
By late July 2024, her account had passed 1.5 million followers, a jump that came directly after public photos of her with Yamal circulated online. Before that, she was not a public figure in football or entertainment media. In news coverage, she has been described as a student and TikToker from Spain. Her content is typical of the platform: lifestyle clips, travel, and personal videos. Padilla first entered mainstream sports coverage during Euro 2024.
She attended Spain’s matches and was photographed on the pitch after the final against England, when Yamal received the Young Player of the Tournament award. Photos and videos of the two celebrating together were widely shared, and Padilla was seen wearing a Spain jersey with Yamal’s name.
Since mid-2024, Padilla has largely kept a lower profile on social media compared to the peak of Euro 2024. She is not a professional athlete or public figure outside of social media, and most coverage of her remains tied to her time in the public eye with Yamal.
Lamine Yamal and Alex Padilla were in a relationship for almost a year
Lamine Yamal and Alex Padilla were first publicly linked in the summer of 2024, immediately after Spain won the Euro. Yamal became the youngest scorer and winner in European Championship history during the tournament.
After Spain’s 2-1 win over England in the final, Padilla joined Yamal on the field for celebrations. Photos of them together, including Padilla in a Spain shirt with “Yamal” on the back, spread online and confirmed the relationship to fans. Over the following weeks, the pair posted from trips to places including Milan and Greece.
In late July 2024, a clip from a TikTok Live of Alex’s friend began circulating. The video appeared to show Padilla sitting on a male friend’s lap at a social gathering. The clip was reposted by fan accounts and quickly picked up millions of views. Amid the backlash, reports said Padilla lost more than 100,000 TikTok followers and deactivated her Instagram account. She later responded to the controversy and said she was not sitting on anyone’s lap, but on a stool.
Reports at the time stated Yamal unfollowed Padilla on Instagram after the controversy. Spanish media reported that Yamal and Padilla had gotten back together around Christmas by the end of 2024. The duo separated permanently in 2025.
