The mystery in Lamine Yamal's family: few know of the footballer's sister. Why the child never appears in public

While Lamine Yamal is rapidly becoming one of Spain's most talked-about football talents, his family life holds a less public story. The Barcelona player, born to Mounir and Sheila, experienced his parents' separation at the age of four. He now has two step-siblings, Kenye and Baraa, whom he speaks of with great affection.

During a recent tournament in the United States, Yamal was accompanied by his mother and his younger stepbrother, Kenye, who is only three years old. The boy's enthusiasm and spontaneous reactions in the stands captured the attention of fans worldwide.

However, his nine-year-old stepsister, Baraa, was notably absent from any matches. This absence sparked curiosity among supporters, but Spanish media reports indicate the decision to keep her away from media exposure and public attention rests with the family, at least for now.

Baraa is the daughter of Lamine Yamal's father, Mounir Nasraoui, from a subsequent relationship and resides in Morocco. Unlike his younger brother Kenye, who frequently appears in the stands and on social media with Lamine, Baraa is kept out of the spotlight, according to the publication Divinity. Although not a public figure, Baraa occasionally appears in photos shared by her father on Instagram. Mounir Nasraoui has revealed her name and sometimes posts images expressing his affection for her.

Despite his sister's lack of public presence at his games, Lamine Yamal maintains a close bond with her. According to his father's statements and information from the Spanish press, the footballer visits her often in Morocco and provides her with financial support.
