Colombian singer Shakira is making headlines both on and off the stage. The 47-year-old recently starred in a steamy music video with a much younger co-star, sparking rumors of a real-life romance. Shakira reportedly set her sights on British actor Lucien Laviscount, 16 years her junior. She cast him in the music video for her song “Punteria,” where he plays a wounded centaur captivated by her character. The video’s sensuality fueled speculation that their on-screen chemistry transcended the screen.

Following a surprise concert in New York City’s Times Square, which drew over 40,000 fans, Shakira was spotted enjoying a romantic dinner with Laviscount. Shakira opted for a sleek black ensemble, while Laviscount kept it casual in a similar color scheme.

Laviscount, who began modeling at the tender age of 10, has also found success in television and film. He’s known for his role as Alfie in the popular Netflix series “Emily in Paris.” Interestingly, Laviscount seems to have a penchant for older partners. Before his apparent connection with Shakira, he dated former Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona, who was 31 when they met on the reality show “Celebrity Big Brother” .

Shakira’s new romance comes after a long-term relationship with Spanish footballer Gerard Piqué. Their love story mirrored Shakira’s hit song “Waka Waka” , but sadly ended in June 2022. They share two sons together. Shakira’s journey as a single mother and her newfound spark with Laviscount keep her in the spotlight. Only time will tell if this rumored romance blossoms into something more.
