The Colombian singer Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll is considered the “Queen of Latin Music” and noted for her versatile style. It’s been a challenging year for Shakira, who has been dealing with many problems lately. It has often been difficult for Shakira to maintain her love life. 

There have been rumblings that she may soon meet with her ex-boyfriend Antonio De La Rúa. Her relationship with Antonio De La Rúa lasted more than 11 years before she started dating Gerard Pique. Her legal battles with Gerard Pique to gain custody of their children go hand in hand with her fight against tax fraud.

Who Is Antonio De La Rúa – Shakira’s Ex-Boyfriend

It cannot be overstated that Antonio De La Rúa is one of Shakira’s most famous former flames. Antonio De La Rúa, son of former Argentine president Fernando de la Rúa, and Shakira had been dating from 2000 to 2011 before she met Gerard Piqué and split.

Antonio De La Rúa is a lawyer by profession. He headed his father’s presidential campaign and was an advisor to his father during his presidency. In addition, he served as Shakira’s lawyer during their relationship, and after their separation, he continued to serve as Shakira’s lawyer.

The two, however, found themselves in a courtroom on opposite sides in 2012 and 2013, as Antonio De La Rúa was suing the singer for compensation for the work he had done for her. It ended up getting dismissed.

Even though Gerard Piqué seems to be in love with 23-year-old PR student Clara Chia Marti after his breakup with Shakira, it is conceivable that the Colombian singer may follow in the footsteps of the soccer player by following in his footsteps.

Possibly, she may meet up with her ex-boyfriend Antonio De La Rúa soon, but it is not confirmed yet. However, sources claim they have already been in touch via telephone, and Antonio De La Rúa is more than happy to help Shakira with whatever she needs. They have even agreed to meet in Miami.
