Shakira, who previously only hinted at her relationship with Gerard Piqué through a cryptic Twitter post, has now publicly celebrated their romance. The Colombian singer and the Barcelona footballer enjoyed a sunlit alfresco lunch in Piqué’s hometown, sharing a heartfelt kiss that left no doubt about their affection for one another.

Last month, Shakira confirmed their relationship with a social media post introducing Piqué as her “sunshine.” The couple, who first caught the media’s eye in March when they were photographed holding hands, had initially kept their romance under wraps. Despite early denials, the pair’s public displays of affection have since made it clear that their relationship is genuine.

Earlier this year, Shakira ended her 11-year relationship with lawyer Antonio de la Rua amidst rumors of infidelity. She first crossed paths with Piqué while filming the video for her hit song “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)”—the official anthem of the 2010 World Cup.

Yesterday, Shakira radiated elegance in an all-white ensemble featuring a vest top and flowing linen trousers, paired with tan heeled sandals. The couple strolled hand-in-hand through the city, visibly happy and in love.

Despite their earlier denials, including Shakira’s playful dismissal of relationship rumors as “waka-rumours” and Piqué’s insistence on their platonic friendship, the couple’s recent public appearances have confirmed the depth of their relationship. In February, they were seen leaving a restaurant together, hand in hand, signaling the start of their open romance.

Shakira officially announced her split from De la Rua, the son of former Argentine president Fernando de la Rua, on her website in January, paving the way for her new relationship with Piqué.
