Lamine Yamal’s model girlfriend Ines Garcia shares unsettling update on herpes diagnosis

Ines Garcia, a model who is in a relationship with footballer Lamine Yamal, said she was experiencing a herpes outbreak on her nose. Her public update drew praise for discussing a condition that can carry stigma, particularly given her large social media following.

She recalled having outbreaks at least monthly about a year ago, but did not give further medical details. The article also reports that Yamal has scored 10 goals and provided seven assists in 11 La Liga games, and that Barcelona beat Atlético Madrid 2-1.
