Her colorful life experience has been a hot topic in major media: she was in love with the president's son for ten years but did not want to get married, gave birth to two sons for a football player but was cleaved, and recently faced accusations from the Spanish authorities... Today Xiaofei will take everyone to Shakira to see the legendary story of the Latin American diva.
First, the son of the president has been infatuated for ten years
Without a doubt, Antonio de la Rúa is one of Shakira's most recognizable ex-boyfriends, and his father is none other than Fernando de la Rúa, former president of Argentina. Shakira and Antonio met in 2000, when Antonio was running around promoting his father's campaign, while Shakira was promoting her album and preparing for a second tour. The last stop of the concert was set in Argentina, where the two met at a dinner party and fell in love. Shakira has said that she fell in love with Antonio at first sight.
Antonio walked into Shakira's life, into her heart. Soon after the two got together, the man began to work for Shakira, became a member of her management team, and successfully created Shakira's hit album "Laundry Service". The album is Shakira's debut album in English and her highest-selling album to date, and has great significance for her career. Antonio is a lawyer by profession, so he has additional legal responsibilities for the team. At the time, many media outlets praised the couple, believing that they perfectly combined work and personal feelings. There were rumors that the two had been engaged in 2006, but due to Shakira's non-marriageism, the marriage plan was delayed. Even Antonio's mother publicly announced the news of their upcoming marriage in the face of the media, which was denied by Shakira.
In 2010, this relationship that lasted for nearly 11 years came to an end. After the two broke up, Shakira quickly started a new relationship. And Antonio has a smooth career after leaving Shakira. In terms of relationships, Antonio and Miss World Colombia 2009 Daniela walked together, and the two have two sons, but they also parted ways in 2018.

Shakira performed at a music festival in Madrid before leaving for South Africa. Pique was working on the Waka Waka MV and was preparing to leave for South Africa. Pique said in an interview: "On the first day we met, I told her that we would meet in the final, and I was very brave. In the end, she sang at the closing ceremony, and Spain also won the World Cup. ”
