They’ve been a celebrated power couple for a joyful eight years, and Shakira and her partner Gerard Piqué appeared as enamored as ever during a late-night outing in New York City on Saturday. The Colombian singer, 42, and Spanish footballer, 32, were seen amidst the city’s fashion week, exuding casual charm while holding hands. Shakira, the Latin pop icon, kept her style effortlessly chic with a t-shirt, ripped jeans layered with netted tights, and accessorized with a luxurious Gucci scarf and a navy bomber jacket. Embracing a touch of tourist flair, she completed her look with a leather bum bag and chunky trainers, while her golden locks cascaded loosely around her shoulders and her makeup highlighted a natural rosy glow.

Gerard Piqué complemented her look with a matching navy bomber jacket, Stone Island jeans, and white Nike high tops, his trademark fluffy quiff adding to his relaxed demeanor as he smiled for the cameras. The couple has been savoring their time in the Big Apple, recently spotted sharing a cozy moment at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.

Their New York outings come amidst legal challenges for Shakira, who has vehemently denied accusations of €14.5 million (£13 million) tax evasion during her residency in Spain from 2011 to 2014. Despite claims that she maintained tax residency in the Bahamas until 2015, Shakira has refuted any wrongdoing, asserting that all obligations to tax authorities have been met. Currently residing in Barcelona with Gerard and their two young sons, Milan and Sasha, Shakira remains focused on her family and her music amidst the legal scrutiny.
