'She is dating a player': Shakira's friends fear her relationship with Lucien Laviscount is 'rebound' after split with Gerard Pique
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Pop sensation Shakira has reportedly embarked on a new romantic journey with British actor Lucien Laviscount following her recent breakup with football star Gerard Pique.
However, while the new romance may seem like a fairy tale, friends of the singer are expressing concerns about the potential for heartbreak, fearing that Laviscount might just be a "rebound."
Shakira And Lucien Laviscount are reportedly dating
After parting ways with football star Gerard Pique, Shakira, the iconic 'Waka Waka' singer, has once again found herself in the throes of romance, this time with 'Emily in Paris' heartthrob Lucien Laviscount.
Speculation about their relationship began swirling after the duo's undeniable chemistry in Shakira's latest music video, 'Punteria.' In the video, Laviscount, portraying Shakira's love interest, shared intimate moments with the singer, sparking rumors of a budding romance off-screen.
Insiders have confirmed to the Daily Mail that Shakira and Laviscount are indeed "seeing each other," although their involvement is described as not being "heavily involved yet." Despite this cautious approach, the pair have been spotted together, further fueling speculation about their romance.
Following the music video's release, Shakira and Laviscount were photographed enjoying a cozy dinner at an Italian restaurant in New York City.
Despite the apparent chemistry between Shakira and Laviscount, friends of the Grammy-winning singer have expressed reservations about the relationship. Some fear that Laviscount just wants people to know his name given his rising fame and past relationships with less-famous individuals.
"Shakira is desperate to fall in love – but her friends are concerned because Lucien has slowly crept his way up the celebrity ladder while dating women who were all less famous than Shakira," the tipster told the Daily Mail.
"The women he has been with are all very different. Now he is seeing Shakira - and she wants love," the source went on. "But her friends fear he just wants people to know his name, and she provides that."
Shakira's friends concerned Lucien Laviscount might be a 'rebound'
The aftermath of Shakira's split from footballer Gerard Pique continues to unfold as the Grammy-winning singer embarks on a new romance with actor Lucien Laviscount.
However, friends of the 'Hips Don't Lie' hitmaker are expressing concerns that her budding relationship with Laviscount might be a mere rebound.
Shakira's 11-year-long relationship with Pique came to an end in the summer of 2022 amid rumors of infidelity on Pique's part. Despite the passage of time, sources close to Shakira suggest that she may still be grappling with unresolved feelings from her previous partnership.
According to the Daily Mail's source, she is still "not over her ex," and everyone around her "knows that Lucien is a rebound."
"She is dating someone they fear is a player and she will get burned," they added.
Shakira and Pique share two sons, Milan, 11, and Sasha, nine. Currently, the former FC Barcelona star is dating 26-year-old Clara Chia Marti.
