New photos of Shakira and actor Manuel Garcia-Rulfo have sparked speculation that the two may be more than just friends.
The singer and the Lincoln Lawyer star were recently seen leaving the Sunset Tower Hotel in Los Angeles together, prompting fans to wonder whether a new romance could be developing between them. The sighting occurred during a break in Shakira’s Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, shortly after she performed two concerts in Los Angeles.
Neither Shakira nor Garcia-Rulfo has commented on the nature of their relationship, and there has been no official confirmation that the outing was romantic. However, the photos quickly fueled discussion among fans on social media.
The timing of the sighting is particularly notable because Shakira recently addressed her love life in an interview, explaining that she is currently focused on raising her children following her highly publicized split from former soccer player Gerard Piqué. She indicated that dating is not a priority at the moment and that her main focus remains her family and personal growth.
Garcia-Rulfo, best known for his leading role in the Netflix legal drama The Lincoln Lawyer, has also kept his personal life largely private. He was previously linked to Audrey McGraw, the daughter of country music stars Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. Reports earlier this year suggested that the relationship had ended.
In addition to his television work, Garcia-Rulfo has appeared in major films including Jurassic World Rebirth and A Man Called Otto.
For now, whether the Los Angeles outing was a casual meeting or the start of a new romance remains unknown, but the photos have certainly sparked curiosity among fans of both stars.
