PUERTO RICO: 'Whenever, Wherever' singer Shakira recently spent a day in Puerto Rico with 'King of Modern Reggaeton' Rauw Alejandro, who recently split from his fiancee. Pictures of the singer, 46, and Rauw, 30, swimming in a river with her two children, Milan, 10, and Sasha, 8, have surfaced online. This comes at the same time as Rauw announced the breakdown of his three-year relationship with Rosalia on Instagram.
Swimmers keenly observed Rauw and the famous singer having fun in the water together and posted a video of them on Twitter. Rauw also posed for photographs with a bunch of fans during the enjoyable day out. A Twitter user posted a clip of their outing, stating in Spanish, "Rauw Alejandro with Shakira and his family days ago in Puerto Rico."
Who is Rauw Alejandro?
Rauw Alejandro, whose real name is Raul Alejandro Ocasio Ruiz, is a Puerto Rican singer, songwriter, and actor. He is referred to as the 'King of Modern Reggaeton' and belongs to the new generation of Puerto Rican urban musicians. 'Afrodisaco', his first studio album, was released in November 2020.
The outing with Shakira followed Rauw's confirmation that he and Rosalia, 30, called it quits just four months after the proposal. Shakira and Rauw have become friends since they collaborated on the song 'Te Felicito' last year, as reported by Daily Mail. Rosalia and Rauw are said to have broken up. People revealed that the couple had made the decision to call off their engagement and separate as a couple almost two years after they first made their romance public (and after three years of dating). According to the story, the two still feel "respect and love" for one another.
'It was not because of infidelity'
Also, Rauw took to Instagram to address the dissolution of his engagement to Rosalia and refute claims that he was unfaithful. "There are thousands of problems that can cause a breakup but, in our case, it was not because of infidelity or a third person," he wrote as cited by Daily Mail. "During this time that I'm taking to assimilate everything, there have been false public allegations, and because of the respect I have for her, our families and all we ever lived. I couldn't stay quiet and continue to see how they try to destroy the most real love story God has ever allowed me to live."
'Soon a new theme'
Some fans were shocked when Shakira and Rauw appeared swimming together, while others expressed no surprise. A user tweeted, "What's the problem, Shakira can have all the friends she wants to have, leave her alone!." "And Shakira now bitching around the world......" wrote another. One user claimed, "Soon a new theme." Another noted, "So intrusive and nosy... they care about Shakira's life... and whoever she wants to be with... OK... it's her life... and she's very mature... so leave her alone... don't worry, live your lives... sh*tty s**t... good luck Shakira, a hug from copiapó Chile." "If it were dating, what a super couple the two mega sexy," said another.
