Strawberry or Weed? #865488

Hello!
I have a garden bed of strawberries. I noticed last year and now even more this year, there is a different looking plant with the strawberries. I’m not sure if it’s a different variety of strawberry, a weed, or a different plant. It grows similar to strawberries, but the leaves are slightly spotted and I don’t see any flowers on the plants like I do on the other strawberry plants.
The first two pictures are the plant in question. The last picture is the entire bed, where you can see the strawberry plants with flowers, but all the other green material is this different plant.
Thank you!

Hi Elise,
thank you for using Ask Extension.
It's definitely not a strawberry. If the plant has a rosette of leaves, it's likely a weed. I don't know the name, but the blooms are small and yellow. I've seen some in my yard and they are hard to pull.
