Shakira recently opened up about the importance of making sacrifices and staying loyal in relationships, especially following her breakup with Gerard Piqué. The former couple ended their 11-year relationship in June 2022 amid allegations of infidelity against Piqué, who used to play for FC Barcelona and Spain.
Despite the heartbreak, the 47-year-old singer, who is now in a relationship with actor Lucien Laviscount, remains hopeful about finding lasting love. She looks up to her parents, who have been together for 50 years, as an example of true love. Shakira believes in monogamy, describing it as ‘uptopia’.
In an interview with Marie Claire, Shakira expressed her desire to find a partner like her father, with whom she can start a family and build a future together. She acknowledged the sacrifices she made and the loyalty she showed in her past relationship, even though things didn’t go as planned. Despite the setback, she continues to believe in the possibility of finding a fulfilling and lasting romance.
Shakira recently opened up about the importance of making compromises and staying committed in relationships after her separation from Gerard Piqué.
The celebrity couple, who parted ways in June 2022 after an 11-year relationship, confirmed their breakup following allegations of infidelity against former FC Barcelona player Gerard Pique. Despite the heartbreak, Shakira remains a believer in love, drawing inspiration from her parents’ enduring 50-year marriage. Witnessing their love firsthand, she lamented her own lack of luck in finding a lasting relationship, expressing skepticism about the concept of monogamy. Shakira and Piqué first crossed paths in 2010 during the filming of the hit song “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)”. Their relationship became public in 2011, leading to the birth of their sons Milan in 2013 and Sasha in 2015. Following their split, Piqué moved on to a new relationship with Clara Chia Marti, sparking controversy when video footage surfaced suggesting his involvement with her prior to his separation from Shakira. The singer, who was reportedly devastated by the discovery, continues to co-parent their two sons despite the challenges of their breakup.
Shakira, aged 47, remains optimistic about love and dreams of having a relationship as enduring as her parents’, who have been happily together for half a century.
In an interview with Marie Claire, Shakira revealed that she was looking for a partner who reminded her of her father, someone she could start a family with and build a long-lasting relationship just like her parents, who are still deeply in love.
She mentioned, “I have made numerous sacrifices for this. I have always been loyal. However, life doesn’t always go as we expect. You just have to keep moving forward.”
The well-known celebrity took part in a stunning photo shoot for Marie Claire magazine, showcasing her style with elegant black outfits and a striking ice blue metallic sequinned outfit.
During a Zoom interview conducted from his family home in Barcelona, Gerard’s new girlfriend and colleague Clara could be seen in the background, while Shakira was reportedly out of the country with their children. A woman resembling Clara appeared on the frame as Gerard talked to the US video streaming service Twitch.
According to an insider speaking to Page Six, Gerard and Shakira were still happily living together at the time of the interview. The source revealed that Shakira was heartbroken to find out that this woman seemed comfortable in the home they shared with their kids. The insider added that they were still a couple at that time and the affair had been ongoing for longer than expected.
Recent reports suggest that Shakira is now dating British actor Lucien Laviscount after getting close while working on her latest music video. Concerns have been raised among her friends, who worry that the actor may be more interested in fame than a genuine relationship.
In the music video for Shakira’s song “Punteria,” an intimate moment between the Colombian singer and Lucien, who was topless, raised speculation about their relationship. Insiders have since confirmed that they are involved but not deeply, much to the relief of Shakira’s friends who fear that he could hurt her.
Shakira and Piqué first crossed paths in 2010 during the filming of her music video for ‘Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)’. Their love story became official in May 2011, and they happily welcomed their first son, Milan, in 2013, followed by their second son, Sasha, in 2015. In the photo from 2019, Gerard and Shakira are seen together, showcasing their lasting bond.
The former partners have two sons together, Milan, who is 11 years old, and Sasha, who is nine. According to a source speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Shakira is eager to find love again. However, her friends are worried as Lucien, who has dated less famous women in the past, seems to be climbing the celebrity ladder by being involved with Shakira. They are concerned that he may be more interested in gaining fame through the relationship rather than actually developing a real connection with her. While Shakira is looking for love, her friends believe Lucien may simply be using her to raise his own profile. Despite this, the couple is currently seeing each other, but their relationship is not very serious at this point. Shakira’s friends think that she may not be completely over her ex-partner Gerard Piqué and that she might just be using Lucien as a rebound. They are worried that Shakira is getting involved with someone who might just end up hurting her in the end. The two first met on the set of a music video in February, where Lucien played Shakira’s love interest.
Earlier this month, news broke out about Shakira and Lucien Laviscount getting together after they met on the set of her music video for Punteria back in February.
However, those close to the actor starring in Emily in Paris worry that their motivation might solely be seeking attention and recognition.
The couple shared a moment of closeness while filming Shakira’s music video, where Lucien portrayed her romantic partner. The video features scenes of him shirtless after she playfully “shot” him with an arrow.
Shakira recently appeared in an issue of Marie Claire where she was photographed wrapped in the arms of a man. Another shot showed her tending to a topless Lucien, who was only wearing a loincloth to maintain his modesty, as she wiped blood from his chest after shooting him with an arrow.
Following the release of the video, Shakira and Lucien were spotted having dinner at the Italian restaurant Carbone in New York City. Shakira donned a black corset and leather jacket, while Lucien matched her in an all-black ensemble.
Before dating Shakira, Lucien was romantically linked to former Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona. They reportedly met in 2011 on the reality show Celebrity Big Brother, where they were seen kissing and cuddling. Kerry later clarified in an interview that while they had a good time together, Lucien was never her official boyfriend.
In November 2021, Lucien was also rumored to be dating Little Mix singer Jesy Nelson after they were photographed kissing in the back of a rickshaw in London.
