Shakira splits from boyfriend of 11 yearsAfter 11 years together, Shakira and her agent beau Antonio de la Rúa have called it quits. The singer confirmed the news yesterday in an open letter to fans on her website. "Since August 2010, we made a mutual decision to take time apart from our romantic relationship. Throughout this time we have continued to work together hand in hand, have remained close and have kept the details absolutely private, until now," she says. The 33-year-old Colombian singer adds that the pair views the separation as a time of individual growth, and that they will remain in each other's lives professionally. "Antonio continues to oversee and conduct my business and career interests as he has always done," she says of de la Rúa, the son of a former president of Argentina. "We move forward as partners, developing projects together, working hand in hand and in close communication. Our friendship and understanding of one another is unwavering and indestructible."

LMFAO I was thinking the same thing HistorySpeaks- Kim pulled that crap right out of her a$$!
I have to agree , her singing voice is abrasive. As for her looks, average. How long could anyone tolerate hearing that everyday. The guy must be half deaf to stand that for 10 years! lol
This is the best news I've heard all week.
"Taking a break" doesn't work if you're planning on getting back together, from my experience. If you reach the point where separation is how you deal with your problems then you're probably not going to go back to dealing with your problems in close quarters.
she must've realized that i recently became divorced...perfect timing.
Haha. I'll arm wrestle you for her! J/k. I'm not that strong. Sorry about your divorce, though. There are still plenty of great women out there, though.
Her bod maybe one thing but her voice has got to go!!!! Sounds like Kermit is either down her throat or up her colon. Her music can also get old. But not bad for a chica from Columbia. I'd rether listen to Elvis Crespo or Carlos Vives. Anyway, not worth the spit.
Thanks...
WHO GIVES A FLYIN RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPP!!!
Wow, this is great news. Because I'm sure I have a very realistic chance here...
Wish she would be my Girlfriend. She is so very beautiful.
TO KIM: Don't know about the coffee, hon, but I'm fairly sure Benjamin Franklin wasn't Muslim.
He could do so much better anyways. I'm sure he will find himself in the middle of a Selma Hayek and Penelope Cruz sandwich.
Well my ex will be happy! He actually thought he had a chance to begin with...being a insurance claims representative from the midwest! Who lost his house in foreclosure, and is largely overweight! I always thought she was prettier with her dark hair and as long as she is silent. Her singing sounds like a cat being stepped on. I hope she finds someone, but topping the prince of Argentina.
Whatabutt!!
11 years really is a long time though when you think about it. after that long you get attached. maybe itll work out for them
Shakira is hawt and talented!! stop hating and stop trolling!!
People really are mean. All the ugly post. She seems like a super nice person and really is a good entertainer. I would whole lot rather pay to hear her sing than justin bieber or brittney spears. Hopefully things will be great for them both.
She doesn't have to worry about getting a man, most would love to have her and her hips.
So you're saying there's a chance?
Finally – I'm getting my chance!
Either way she is MUY Caliente !
muy bonita princessa
Why is it that when celebrities break up they always remain friends & continue to have the utmost respect for each other? Who are they kidding?
Hey Vin show some class man. I know that you dream of that, but I for one do not care for you putting that on this page! There are sites that you can pay for that will let you do this all day, and with a real live girl on the other end responding back to you, well it may be a girls, you never know. Get a life!
im very happy for them both. especially with her maybe gonna be on the shore. that jersey shore is awsome.
I SAW HER LAST WEEK ON THAT SARAH PAYLIN SHOW. SHE WAS OK. SHE DIDNT REALLY LIKE ALASKA TOO MUCH. WAY TOO COLD.
My foot is asleep!
Who cares!
now that is a sign of a genius
click on this article, that you know is about Shakira, and type in who cares
I do, I think she is hot
you are un-imaginative and choose to waste your time... clearly your problem
Yeah, why even comment if you don't care??
I do not know if it is true or not, but I have heard that she has been wanting a family for a long time and he would not do it. I guess she finally had it and wanted kids. I am not sure if this guy is a D-bag or not, I do not know him, but I think that she will have no issues finding a man that wants to give her a child. I know if I was not married and better looking I would put my hat in that ring, but to bad for her that I love my wife!
Shakira, call me. I haven't heard from, Scarlett Johansson, Zac Efron, Jane Carrey, Neve Campbell, Laura Dern, Halle Berry, Elizabeth Moss or Robin Wright yet, so you still have a chance.
I just want to bang her in the ass as she says to me "tell me my hips don't lie papa "
Me and shi shi...that's my pet name for her...we been dating on the side...sorry looser xboy toy..just the way I roll!
Fantastic looking broad – I bet those thighs are sweet to hold on to.
First dibs!!
She's a lovely and very sensual woman. I doubt I could even keep up wth her energy. It's a shame they split after that long together. 11 years of celeb relationship is like 50 years together for the average Joe and Jane. It's not necessarily him looking for a younger model either as many suggest. It might be her, feeling her own age. I was with a Model/TV Show Host for 7 years and once she hit 30 it seemed that her friends got younger as she got older, and she finally left over a 21 year old boy. She and I are friends today but that was a tough time. BTW- That 21 year old tried to commit suicide when she realized younger isn't necessarily better and walked from him.
So, NOW I have a chance....
So basically now it's my turn!! About time she dumped him!
Hi shakira I am here I will take u
Guy's got the head of a dog and the eyes of a rat with Las Vegas lounge lizard written all over his face.
you don't like him, do you?
He should be devastated...I damn sho would be.
Gerard pique you are so lucky a romance with shakira he is like 6'5 and is a soccer(football) player from catalunya ,spain and by the way " we the latino people don't care about skin color /race so if she is half arab/colombian she is a beutiful woman.
Don't lie to make your race/culture/ethnicity sound better. There is discrimination everywhere! I have dated MANY Hispanics in my time (Colombians, Ecuadorians, Peruvians, El Salvadorians, etc.) and they do discriminate against each other. Not only do they discriminate on the darker skinned Hispanics, they discriminate based on the country of origin. I saw a scuffle between Hispanics I knew (one form Puerto Rico and the other from El Salvador) and they were busy calling each other wetbacks! There is prejudice, bigotry, racism, and discrimination everywhere. Instead talk about how it isn't right and that it is inappropriate...not that your Latino people don't care about race/color because that is a lie!
What will happen if either one of them end up in a very serious relationship with someone else? I'm very sure their "business" relationship will change.
It's worse if she ends up with a professional athelete I don't care how good you look some men want a variety married or not.
Shakira, I am so sorry about your breakup. Take all the time you need to recover and when you are ready I am here for you.
she told me she has filed the restraining order and you need to say away or be arrested
Your all muslims prepare for warfare brownies
am not
REMEMBER 9-11. PROTEST EVERYONE WHO MIGHT ME ISLAMIC MUSLIMS.
Do you enjoy...say ...coffee???? Do you wear glasses by any chance? Well, coffee and the science of optics were all invented by a Muslim. Guess you better put a ban on all of those!!!!
Figures the idiots are the ones spamming. Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if all this muslim talk is coming from the same idiot.
just as all this Shakira is tasty talk is coming from the GLA (Gay Lesbian Alliance)
Is she really a dirty muslim. that might be why her pits stink so much.
ur a moron and bigot, a disgrace and menace to society
pc jones sounds like an idjit too 🙂
im not a bigot. i was typing yeah to she is hot. olus i think she sings pretty good. Tom is an idgit.
you are a bigot
Too bad girls like this don't go out with regular guys..I have a regular car that uses regular gas on a regular Saturday night date.
yeah
I think she looks like she may have germs and might could possibly be an islamical muslim also. We need to bring morality back to music. REMEMBER 9-11
ur a moron and bigot and at least a stupid as tom
I bet even her germs are tasty
Geez Shakira I know you said "I had you at hello" but this is to far. And ok maybe I misled you by error but when I said to you, " Lets get together" I meant dinner with you and your guy and me and my wife. I thought I was clear that I only wanted a friendship nothing else, geez.
WAKE UP...WAKE UP....WAKE UP!!!! It is just a dream...a good one...nevertheless, it's just a dream!
Bathe her and bring her to me!
she seems like a muslim to me. i hope she isnt a terrorist or something. i dont care for her one bit. plus she does look like she needs to take a bath using actual soap.
ur a moron and bigot tom
She's half Arab...but that doesn't mean she's Muslim. And...you're an idiot.
terrorists can't move their hips and and belly like that
Maybe you should rethink your comments before you post next time.
Your comment reeks of stupidity and ignorance.
Hope she comes out that she's with Chely Wright...that would be SO FREAKIN HOT!!
just saying... they call me all the time anyway
shakira remenber you are not growing younger,why can't you have just one kid 4 him before you quit.you're the one to lose.
never mind, better that http://www.supersonic.us.com
She is hot... but her weird Kermit the Frog singing voice and dirty barefoot dancing on stage are huge turn-offs. With that said, she's still out of my league.
Dirty barefoot dancing???????? Umm, it's called belly dancing...get a clue about other cultures!!!
Uhmmm...if you are focusing on her feet why SHE is dancing...there is another problem here (and this from a straight woman)!
I agree. She is pretty but her voice isn't what most Americans are used to. My boyfriend is from India and he likes her singing. I think American music was highly influenced by jazz and R&B. Our pop and country is even influenced by R&B. I like the smooth soulful sounds and kermit the frog doesn't do it for me.
Yessssssss!!!!!!!!!!! Now all I need is her number.
wish i had her looks.
I bet she ends up with Gerard Pique, a famous soccer player from Barcelona Spain – they hit it off at the World cup this past year – around the same time as they had their mutual breakup (August 2010)
Why doesn't this surprise me. How abut something more interesting to read.
Maybe you're in the wrong section if you want meaningful news.
I'd rather look at her
she my be popular but she is no snooki. snooki and the situation are the bigggest celebs ever.
What are you smoking? Those "celebs" of jersey shore have no talent whatsoever. Famous for having a fake tan, boorish behaviour, being ugly as sin and lucky enough that they fit an ugly stereotype.
What are you smoking, poping or drinking? Whatever it is I don't want any. It makes you think things that just are not true. Like people on the Jersey Shore as "famous". Ha!
Let me see, Snooki has zero talent, where Shakira is a mega talent. Your post is an epic fail!
yo shakira! give me a call girl!
Shakira is young & hot, she can do better anyway! She should date an Footballer(soccer) stay away from other musicians & actors thier nothing but trouble!
Yeah right. Athletes are worse to be in a relationship with...good luck with any commitment.
That would be nice, except that all soccer players are h0m0$exuals. Maybe she could have a close soccer friend that she could shop with and trade interior designer ideas with.
ny question is how will this effect snooki and the jersey shore. will shakira be guest starring on the shore or will it be a full time gig. i hope she will get along with all the other celebs on it.
BEST NEWS I HEARD ALL WEEK.
So unfortunate. At least they don't have a child involved. Watch for de la Rua hooking up with a much younger girl.
Stupid comment you made.
You have got to be pretty freaking special to outshine Shakira. Age means NOTHING.
she is hot, no question
but I bet he goes younger as well
Yeah, well don't be surprised if Shakira hooks up with one of the many Rappers she's done videos with, they would love to get their hands on her hips, if they haven't already!
She knows how to drop, pop-it and lock it, just the way they like it!! Ha-ha!!
At any rate, I do like Shakira and I wish her the best.
Stupidly true, Valerie. He is a man of power and money. That's how those guys work.
Shakira will end up with a Spanish futbol player, most likely Gerard Pique.
I think mr. spanish futbol and darkrose are the same and he is doing a little advertising
LMMFAO!!! Oh, how I wish I had Pique's money!! LOL! No, just a fan, I assure you!
She is so gorgeous and talented
and her hips don't lie
Lol nice job there, 10:55 AM comment... not.
I didn't know there was an island of woman's hygiene. Is your pad there?
Shakira is my favorite beast of a performer, she has it all looks, musical talent and stage presence including dance. She can play at my party anytime!!
He looks like a fat sweaty pig!
