The Colombian singer-songwriter, Shakira has reportedly found love with a new man in Miami after splitting from her ex-partner, Gerard Pique.
The couple, who split in May after 11 years together, confirmed in November they had reached an agreement after a protracted negotiation which came to a head with a marathon 12-hour meeting with their lawyers.
The 46-year-old singer is said to be moving to Florida after signing a child custody agreement with ex Gerard Pique.
Shakira was initially understood to want to leave Barcelona with her sons Milan, ten, and Sasha, eight, in June at the end of their school year.
But now she could leave early next month after reports she was looking to go on April 1.
According to Spanish news website OK Diario, the mum-of-two could have another reason to accelerate her move to Miami – a ‘mystery man’ it claims to have been told she met several months ago before she penned her latest diss song targeting Pique and his new girlfriend Clara Chia.
The website reported at the weekend: ‘It seems the Colombian singer could have found a new illusion in the shape of a mysterious man she apparently met in Miami and has been in contact with for four months.’
It offered no more details, other than to say that the mystery man was not former flame Antonio de la Rua, who she dated before meeting Pique at the 2010 World Cup where Shakira performed her hit song ‘Waka Waka’.
Shakira expert Laura Fa, one of two journalists who regularly report on the mum-of-two for Catalan newspaper El Periodico, said earlier this month the artist was looking at a new date of April 1 to leave Barcelona with her children after initial reports it would happen at the end of the school year in June.
They signed the accord at a court in Barcelona the following month.
As part of the agreement retired footballer Pique, now dating Catalan beauty Clara Chia, 23, will spend holiday time with his children.
The footballer this weekend has finally spoke out about the end of their 11-year relationship, saying he is fully focused on his job as a father.
Pique said in a subsequent interview with Spanish newspaper El Pais he was ‘very happy’ following the dramatic changes in his life which have included the split with Shakira and retirement from football.
He also shut down a question about Shakira in the interview but added: ‘Each parent has the responsibility to try to do the best for their children.
‘It’s about protecting them. That’s the work of all parents with their children. That’s what I’m focused on and that’s my job as a father.’
