Shakira linked to Serge Ibaka amid news on family language use

Colombian singer Shakira is facing speculation regarding a potential relationship with former NBA player Serge Ibaka. Reports from Univision suggest a connection after Ibaka was seen attending several of the artist's concerts during her musical residency in Madrid, Spain. While some media outlets have alleged the pair traveled together to Paris via private jet, neither Shakira nor Ibaka has confirmed a romantic link.

Separately, Shakira recently shared details regarding her family life and the languages used with her children, Milan and Sasha. During an appearance on the Spanish television program ‘La Revuelta’, the singer explained that she continues to speak Catalan with her children while living in Miami. She noted that she uses the language to maintain privacy, stating, “I speak more Catalan in Miami than when I lived in Catalonia,” so that those around them cannot easily understand their conversations.
