Shakira Confirms Relationship with Actor Lucien Laviscount
Months after sparking dating rumors, Shakira has publicly confirmed her relationship with actor Lucien Laviscount. The confirmation comes after the pair first met while filming the music video for Shakira’s 2024 hit, “Puntería,” where Laviscount played her love interest.
The connection between the singer and the British actor began on the set of the “Puntería” video in early 2024. Their on-screen chemistry quickly led to speculation about a possible romance, fueled by sightings of the two having dinner together in New York City. At the time, both remained tight-lipped, with interviews focusing on the music and the collaborative experience. However, social media users continued to connect the dots.
While some initial headlines focused on the 15-year age difference between Shakira, in her late 40s, and Laviscount, in his early 30s, the conversation quickly shifted. Many fans argued that both are consenting adults and successful in their respective careers. The debate sparked discussion about double standards in how age-gap relationships are perceived.
However, fans seem more captivated by the couple’s apparent connection. Social media comments frequently praise Shakira for finding happiness and note that the pair appear remarkably similar in age. Some fans have even joked about Laviscount “living the dream.”
Laviscount and Shakira shared a joint Instagram post featuring stills from the “Puntería” video, further fueling speculation. Following the video’s release, Laviscount cheekily posted on Instagram, “Shooting my shot…,” alongside a photo of himself playing pool, which fans interpreted as a reference to his budding romance with Shakira.
In a later interview with E! News, Laviscount spoke highly of his experience working with Shakira, stating, “To work with such an amazing talent, artist, and human being was incredible. I took so much from that, and I think everyone can learn from that beautiful woman and who she is.” He continued, “The way that she operates with her team, and her passion for things, and how she envisions things, and how she wants things to be done, it’s all from the heart and how she expresses that to people. People will go to the ends of the earth for her—her team, the people that are around her, everyone on that set—because it comes from the heart.”
The confirmation of this relationship adds another chapter to Shakira’s personal life, which has been closely followed by fans worldwide. Rumors of a romance resurfaced in late February 2026, ahead of a planned performance by the singer.
