Overview
- The relationship between Spain international Dani Olmo and German influencer Laura 'Abla' Schmitt has been public since the start of 2024 and Schmitt has since relocated to Barcelona while Olmo remains under contract at FC Barcelona.
- Schmitt told her podcast that she will support Spain at the 2026 World Cup, said she expects Spain to win, and confirmed she plans to travel to the United States for the tournament but will miss Spain’s first match because of work commitments.
- She publicly warned she expects a repeat of the online hostility she faced after Euro 2024, when some German fans labelled her a 'traitor' for wearing a Spain shirt following Olmo’s decisive quarterfinal role against Germany.
- Olmo’s role for Spain and his club profile help explain why his partner draws intense attention online, and Schmitt frames her podcast comments around protecting her career and personal well‑being while remaining publicly supportive.
- The case highlights a wider tension for partners of elite athletes who work as public creators: they must juggle travel and paid work, manage personal safety and reputation, and may prompt scrutiny of how platforms and teams handle fan harassment.
