Shakira's New Romance: A World Cup Connection?

Colombian singer Shakira is reportedly in a new relationship with British actor Lucien Laviscount. The couple was first linked in 2024 when Laviscount appeared in Shakira's music video for her single "Punteria." Following their on-set meeting, they were seen dining together in New York City and made appearances on each other's social media. Shakira officially confirmed their romance in early 2026.

Lucien Laviscount has built a notable acting career, with early TV appearances in shows like "Shameless" and "Supernatural." His breakout role as Alfie in Netflix's "Emily in Paris" significantly boosted his profile. He has also taken on numerous film roles since 2021. Shakira herself has a strong connection to the World Cup, notably with her song "Waka Waka" for the 2010 tournament and her previous long-term relationship with soccer star Gerard Pique.

Shakira is 15 years older than Laviscount, with the singer turning 49 in February and Laviscount celebrating his 34th birthday on June 9. This age difference mirrors some of her past relationships. Shakira's previous serious partners include Osvaldo Rios, Antonio de la Rua, and Gerard Pique, with whom she shares two children. Her relationship with Pique began after they met during the filming of "Waka Waka" in 2010.
