Shakira, the global pop sensation, has been the subject of swirling rumors regarding her love life after her highly publicized split from long-term partner Gerard Pique in 2022.
The 47-year-old singer is reportedly dating British actor Lucien Laviscount, however, neither Shakira nor Laviscount has publicly confirmed the relationship.

The rumors gained further traction when Laviscount attended Shakira’s surprise performance in Times Square, New York City, followed by a dinner outing at Carbone, as reported by TMZ.
According to an insider source from the Daily Mail, the two are indeed dating, but the relationship is not yet serious.

The insider added, “They are seeing each other but are not heavily involved yet.”
