Shakira shares photo with former partner Antonio de la Rúa in Madrid
Singer Shakira has shared a photograph with her former partner, Antonio de la Rúa, following the conclusion of her ‘Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour’ residency in Madrid, Spain.
Shakira expressed gratitude to de la Rúa for his support throughout the tour, noting his involvement in the development of Macondo Park, the temporary venue used for her performances. Describing their evolved relationship, she stated, “Because in life everything transforms... I want to thank this one, who was once my partner and today is a great friend. A soul friend. Antonio de la Rúa.”
The two were in a relationship for approximately 11 years, from 2000 to 2011. Their history has previously been referenced in Shakira's music, specifically in the song ‘Día de enero’ from her 2005 album ‘Fijación Oral Vol. 1’.
