Shakira began dating Argentinian lawyer Antonio de la Ra in the year 2000. In a 2009 interview, Shakira said that their relationship worked like marriage and that “they don’t need documentation for it.”
After ten years of marriage, Shakira and de la Ra split in August 2010, citing “a mutual desire to spend time apart from our romantic partnership.” De la Ra will continue to manage Shakira’s “commercial and career interests as he has always done,” she said, adding that the couple “see this phase of separation as temporary.”
De la Ra sued Shakira in April 2013, claiming he was owed $100 million after Shakira abruptly ended their business agreement in October 2011. As previously reported in September 2012, de la Ra sued Shakira in September 2012, claiming he was owed $100 million after Shakira abruptly ended their business agreement in October 2011. In August 2013, a judge in Los Angeles County Superior Court dismissed his complaint.
In 2011, Shakira began dating Gerard Piqué, a Spanish footballer who plays centre back for FC Barcelona and the Spanish national team. Pique, who shares the same birthday as Shakira, met her for the first time in the spring of 2010, when he starred in the music video for Shakira’s song “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa),”. It was the official song of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
On the 22nd of January 2013, Shakira gave birth to the couple’s first child, Milan, in Barcelona, Spain, where the family had settled. On January 29, 2015, Shakira had their second son, Sasha. Shakira and Piqué were named “World’s Most Powerful Couples” by Forbes magazine. Following a 12-year relationship, the pair announced their separation in a joint statement in 2022.
