Shakira’s New Boyfriend: Who is Shakira Dating After Absurd Tom Cruise and Lewis Hamilton Rumors?
Shakira is reportedly dating Argentinian producer Rafael Arcaute following her highly-publicized split from soccer star Gerard Pique last year. Though details are scarce, sources claim Arcaute has long admired Shakira and finally made his move after her breakup. Shakira and Pique had been together for over a decade before announcing their separation in June 2022. Since then, Shakira has been linked to various celebrity suitors in tabloid rumors, from Tom Cruise to Formula 1 racer Lewis Hamilton.
What do we know about Shakira’s rumored new man?
According to Marca, the Hips Don’t Lie singer’s boyfriend is 44-year-old Rafael Arcaute. He is described as an intellectual who won over Shakira with his humor and thoughtfulness.
Ceriani claims Arcaute had feelings for Shakira for years but respected her previous relationship. After she split from Pique, he finally approached her. Though Shakira has allegedly tried keeping Arcaute at a distance, she now seems open to exploring a romance.
Shakira, 45, met the FC Barcelona defender while filming her Waka Waka music video for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. They were together for over a decade and share two sons.
Last year, allegations emerged that Pique had cheated, bringing intense scrutiny to the couple before they announced their breakup. Their separation negotiations later grew bitter over custody arrangements.
What fueled speculation about Shakira dating other celebrities?
Since becoming single again, Shakira’s love life has been under the microscope. Sources claimed she was involved with Cruise after they were spotted dancing together.
Rumors also flew about Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton after he attended her birthday party. Photos showing her with Spanish surfer Gorka Ezkurdia further sparked dating speculation.
But so far, any high-profile romantic connections remain unsubstantiated gossip. Her rumored relationship with Arcaute is the first to be backed by named sources. Little is known about Arcaute or his budding relationship with Shakira. But if insider reports are accurate, he seems to offer a departure from her past showbiz relationships.
Moving on after heartbreak is hard, but initial signs suggest Shakira may have found comfort with someone new. 2024 will reveal if this rumored romance blooms into a full-fledged love story.
