The league has ended. Well, almost. With Barça crowned champion at home against a directionless Real Madrid, the victorious footballers have not only celebrated it in style with the parade that paralyzed Barcelona. It is spring, the work is done, and youth overflows with oxytocin, that love hormone that seems to have once again revolutionized Lamine Yamal. And since the gossip press, like the sports press, feeds on rumors, everything indicates that the Barcelona star has fallen in love again. This time, with the Sevillian influencer Inés García. But unlike what happened with the forward’s other summer love with Nicki Nicole, he would have preferred to keep this new relationship secret.
But few secrets remain secret. Both were seen together leaving a restaurant, and on Thursday it emerged that they had a very special date. The footballer reportedly surprised his budding girlfriend with a helicopter ride over Barcelona. The influencer, as could be expected, shared the experience on her Instagram. However, without making any written or visual mention of the Barcelona player. “One more day putting my heart and nerves to the test,” wrote the young woman while on the helicopter. Yes, Lamine’s plan to surprise his girl was high-flying. But not very original. He also took Nicki Nicole to fly over the Catalan city when they were dating. Either this activity is loved by Barça’s number 10 or he got a two-for-one deal.
Heidi Klum also showed images of Barcelona on her Instagram. The queen of costumes, who walked the Met Gala dressed as a Greek statue, continued with her artistic preferences by visiting Gaudí’s Sagrada Familia. She entered the basilica’s door with her mouth open and looking at the ceiling that the architect turned into a great stone forest. “I’m crying,” the model managed to articulate. “It is the most beautiful building in the world,” she exclaimed, impressed. We don’t know what her dog Fritz, who accompanied her, thought about those stony trees of the nave. Surely he preferred the ones in the park in front.
What we do know is how Amaia Montero took the criticism that circulated on social media after the first concert of her return with La Oreja de Van Gogh. “If there is something positive I can take from going down to hell, it is that it makes you practically indestructible,” the singer said in a harsh statement that aimed to silence the critical voices, some even cruel, about her performance in front of 30,000 people in Bilbao. After almost 20 years of absence with the band and after overcoming serious health problems, the Guipuzcoan left a clear message to the haters: “I said it on stage: we are back, we are really back.” Dressed in a pink neoprene jumpsuit, like a comic book heroine, Amaia is determined not to let anything slide. Her little face is no longer soaked, and those thousand roses are all hers.
Just as Brigitte Macron did not let her husband’s flirtation with actress Golshifteh Farahani go unnoticed. After reading on the French president’s phone the message addressed to the actress of films like Paterson or Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales: “I find you very beautiful,” the first lady forgot protocol and gave him a slap that went around the world. This would be the reason for the famous slap with which the presidential couple landed in Vietnam almost a year ago, according to journalist Florian Tardif of Paris Match in his recently published book Un couple (presque) parfait (An (Almost) Perfect Couple). “It was a joke,” Macron said at the time about the slap. Well, Brigitte did not find it funny at all, and now we know why. Presumably, of course.
The flight that took the Princess of Wales to Italy, specifically to Reggio Emilia, to learn about its successful nature-linked educational system, was much calmer. For the first time since her cancer diagnosis, she made an official trip outside Great Britain, and alone. Speaking very good Italian, hugging children, and with her eternal smile, the Italian press could not help but compare her to her husband’s mother. “She is the new Lady Di,” several media wrote. The principessa of Wales even dared to learn how to make traditional pasta, which ended up conquering the already devoted hearts of the Italians.
