“You’re probably expecting some perfect, crazy love story,” Inés said, per Hola! “Like I saw him in a store, the way it supposedly went down… my savior, my hero.” Prior to her setting the record straight, it was rumored that she met Lamine when her credit card got declined in a store and he swooped in to cover the bill.
“Here’s the real story. Three, two, one: social media!” Inés continued. “I’d love to tell you some super crazy story, like 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.”
And while the two were first spotted together in Greece back in April, Inés said she and the athlete have been together “a lot longer than people think.” She didn’t confirm their romantic timeline, but revealed she’s known Lamine “not quite three years, but a good deal more months than people realize, even now.” However, they spent a lot of time talking before making the relationship official.
Lamine previously dated Argentinian singer Nicki Nicole from August 2025 to November 2025.
