Her colorful life experience is a hot topic that major media have been scrambling to report: she has been in love with the president's son for ten years but is unwilling to get married. She gave birth to two sons for a football player but was cheated. Recently, she is facing accusations from the Spanish authorities... Today Xiao Fei will take everyone to approach Shakira and see the legendary story of Latin American queen.
1. The president's son has been infatuated with him for ten years
There is no doubt that Antonio de la Rúa is one of Shakira's most well-known ex-boyfriends. His father is Argentina former president Fernando de la Rúa (Fernando de la Rúa). Shakira and Antonio met in 2000, when Antonio was running around for her father's campaign, while Shakira was promoting her album and preparing for her second concert tour. The last stop of the concert was set in Argentina. The two met at a dinner and then fell in love. Shakira once said she fell in love with Antonio at first sight.
Antonio walked into Shakira's life and into her heart. Shortly after the two were together, the man started working for Shakira, becoming a member of her agency team, and successfully created Shakira's popular album "Love Baptism" (Laundry Service). The album is Shakira's first English album and her highest-selling album to date, which is of great significance to her career. Antonio was originally a professional attorney, so he was also responsible for the team’s legal work. Many media praised the couple at the time, believing that they perfectly combined work and personal feelings. There were rumors that the two were engaged in 2006, but due to Shakira's non-marriageism, the marriage plan has not been fulfilled for a long time. Even Antonio's mother was denied by Shakira in the face of the news that the media publicly announced that the two were about to get married.
In 2010, this relationship that lasted for nearly 11 years still came to an end. After the two broke up, Shakira quickly started a new relationship. After Antonio left Shakira, his career also developed smoothly. In terms of relationships, Antonio was with Miss Colombia World Daniela in 2009. The two have two sons, but they also parted ways in 2018.
2. Another decade of Latin American queen and football star
The song "Waka Waka" made Shakira become purple again, and her emotional world also ushered in new vitality. Shakira and the Spanish national team star player Gerard Piqué (Gerard Piqué) met a few months before the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
Shakira participated in a music festival performance in Madrid and then went to South Africa. Pike was participating in the filming of the "Waka Waka" MV and was also preparing to go to South Africa. Pique said in an interview: "I told her on the first day of our meeting that we would meet in the finals, and I was very brave. In the end, she sang at the closing ceremony and Spain also won the World Cup."
In March 2011, Shakira officially announced the relationship on her social media, where she posted a photo of herself taking a photo with her boyfriend Pique, with the text "Introducing everyone in the sunshine of my life." In 2017, Shakira sang in the song "23" "I felt lonely several years ago and thought God did not exist. At this moment, I met your blue eyes (Hace un par de años me encontraba sola, solía pensar que no existía Dios, pero entonces me miraste con tus ojos azules).They were not married, but in 2013, they welcomed their first child, Milan; a year and a half later, Shakira became pregnant again and gave birth to her second child, Sasha, in 2015.
3. Marriage change

After Barcelona defeated Real Madrid , Shakira suddenly posted an extremely spicy post on social media. Entertainment media also frequently reported that Pique was suspected of cheating and his new partner was Clara. He was a 23-year-old female student who was still studying public relations majoring in in , Barcelona . The video of Pique and Clara kissing passionately at the concert also went viral on the Internet, seemingly confirming rumors of infidelity. Shakira and Pique then issued a statement announcing that they had separated. But the queen is always graceful. In order to reach an agreement on the child's raising issue, Shakira and Pique always maintain communication to avoid solving problems through judicial means.
4. A year when disasters never come alone
