Lamine Yamal has been the star of the soccer world for Spain, but now another member of his family has become a fan favorite, his younger half-brother, Keyne.
The three-year-old has been the centre of attention nearly every time Spain has won, and he's been seen running around the pitch, hugging players and enjoying the biggest moments of his older brother's career. The few heartwarming celebrations have rapidly made Keyne one of the most discussed children on social media for the tournament.
Why Has Lamine Yamal's Brother Keyne Gone Viral?
The popularity of Keyne is due to his personality.
The little one has seemed perfectly comfortable in the presence of Spain's biggest stars, unlike many kids who seem to be overwhelmed by the attention. From chasing Lamine around after games to playing with the match ball or celebrating with the team, his enthusiastic footage has generated numerous viral videos on TikTok, Instagram, and X.
The real brotherly love has been a favorite among fans. Each time Spain has progressed in the tournament, television has been able to show the emotional moments of Lamine hugging Keyne before celebrating with the rest of his teammates.
Those clips have attracted millions of views, and many fans have called Keyne the "mascot" of Spain's World Cup campaign.
Lamine Yamal Has Spoken About His Younger Brother
Yamal has never been secretive about his affection for Keyne. The Spain star once said about his younger half-brother, "My little brother means everything to me. I am in love with him; it feels like he is my son."
Many old videos of Keyne and Lamine Yamal are also going frequently viral on social media.
The brothers have the same mother, Sheila Ebana, and although Lamine is very busy with Barcelona and Spain, he has spoken many times about spending as much time with Keyne as he can when he is home.
Their close relationship has become one of the feel-good stories of the 2026 World Cup. Lamine has been making headlines on the field, while Keyne has been quietly making headlines on the internet.
From adorable goal celebrations to post-match interviews being interrupted by his playful antics, the toddler has won over fans around the world. To many fans, Spain's success is as much about watching Keyne's reactions as it is about watching Lamine Yamal shine.
