Shakira’s love life: Find out men who stole her heart over the years

Shakira, who is well-known for her prosperous career in the spotlight, has shown a strong commitment to enduring relationships but has also made it clear that she doesn't tolerate being betrayed and moves on. The Colombian singer called it quits on her 12-year romance with her child's father, Colombian singer Gerard Piqué, in the summer of 2022. According to reports, she found out about Piqué's extramarital affair with Clara Chia Marti, a 24-year-old. Shakira has released songs like "Monotonía" featuring Ozuna, "BZRP Music Sessions #53," and "TQG" with Karol G, which achieved significant success on Billboard charts, despite the initial difficulty of the separation.

Following her breakup with Piqué, Shakira seems to have embraced a single life centered around personal development. She has denied reports linking her with Tom Cruise, a media report said.

Here's a look into Shakira's three major relationships: her early romance with Osvaldo Ríos, her ten-year relationship with Antonio de la Rúa, and her 12-year relationship with Piqué.


1. Osvaldo Ríos (Around 1997):
Shakira reportedly dated the Puerto Rican telenovela star Osvaldo Ríos when she was 20. Though she spoke publicly about the relationship only once, Ríos has mentioned it multiple times. The relationship lasted eight months, and Shakira revealed that her song "Moscas en la Casa" from the album "Dónde Están los Ladrones?" was inspired by him.

2. Antonio de la Rúa (2000-2010):
Shakira's relationship with Antonio de la Rúa, the son of the former president of Argentina, began just before her international breakthrough. Despite nearly 11 years together, the couple eventually separated. They continued as business partners for a brief period until de la Rúa sued Shakira for $100 million after she terminated their business partnership. The lawsuit was dismissed.

3. Gerard Piqué (2010-2022):
Shakira met footballer Gerard Piqué on the set of her music video for "Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)." Their 12-year relationship resulted in two sons, Milan and Sasha. However, in the summer of 2022, Shakira ended the relationship upon discovering Piqué's alleged extramarital affair with Clara Chia Marti. Since then, Shakira has prioritized her career, receiving recognition at Billboard's Mujeres en la Música event. In her acceptance speech, she acknowledged the empowering lessons she learned from other women and the cathartic role of music in her journey.
