Shakira and Antonio de la Rúa: two appearances that spark rumors of reconciliation

2025 marked the triumphant return of Shakira  to the stage with her  Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, but it also brought back into the public conversation a name that defined a decade of her life:  Antonio de la Rúa.

The singer and her ex-partner were seen at two different events in the United States, sparking speculation about a possible rapprochement after 15 years since their separation.

First encounter: Antonio de la Rúa backstage at Shakira's show

In early May, Shakira performed two consecutive shows at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. It was on the second night when De la Rúa appeared backstage, moving confidently among the technical team and the artist's family members.

He wore a staff credential, making it clear that his presence was not that of a mere guest. Witnesses and photographs suggested a renewed closeness between the two, despite a past marked by a romantic breakup and a high-profile legal dispute.

That same day, De la Rúa's young children, from his relationship with DJ Daniela Ramos, arrived with the singer just minutes before the show began, a gesture that did not go unnoticed by the audience present.

Second moment: family night at a baseball game

Shakira made headlines again in recent hours, this time in San Diego, just days before her concert in Tijuana. She was seen in a box at Petco Park during an MLB game between the Padres and the Red Sox.

At the sporting event, she was accompanied by her children, Milan and Sasha, along with Zulú and Mael, Antonio de la Rúa's children.  The image of all of them together in a relaxed family setting further fueled rumors of a close bond.

When the singer appeared on the stadium's giant screen, the audience erupted in applause.  She replied with a smile and a wave, in a scene that quickly went viral on social media.

A story that left a mark on both

Shakira and Antonio de la Rúa began their romance in 2000, when the Colombian singer was promoting ¿Dónde están los ladrones? and he was known as the son of then Argentine president Fernando de la Rúa.

The relationship lasted a decade, with Antonio playing a key role in the artist's international strategy. The breakup in 2010 was followed by a media trial in 2012, in which the businessman claimed 100 million dollars, but it was dismissed in 2013.

Today, these recent public appearances raise questions: is it just cordiality and shared maturity, or the beginning of a new chapter in their story?
