Shakira sparks dating rumours with Manuel Garcia-Rulfo after a Los Angeles hotel sighting. Neither of them has confirmed any romantic relationship.
Shakira and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo have sparked dating rumours after being spotted together in Los Angeles. The pair were seen leaving the Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood, where they reportedly shared a relaxed and friendly moment before heading out in the same car.
According to reports, both stars were seen standing at a valet point while waiting for their vehicle. During that time, they appeared comfortable with each other, smiling and chatting casually.
When the car arrived, Manuel was seen opening the door for Shakira before he got into the driver’s seat and drove off with her. Their calm and easy interaction quickly caught attention online, especially given their high-profile status in entertainment.
Their outfits also reflected a low-key outing. Shakira rocked a black tank top, blue jeans, and platform boots, with a black leather jacket. Manuel opted for a simple look, wearing a black jacket over a T-shirt and blue jeans. The casual styling added to the impression that the meeting was not a formal event. This further fuelled speculation about whether it was a personal hangout or something more.
Social media reactions followed almost immediately after the sighting went viral. Fans shared mixed excitement and curiosity, with many already pairing the two stars together. One user commented, “MANUEL omg. Shakira he is a CATCH,” while another wrote, “oh, I’m invested. I love him on his Netflix show.” Others simply expressed surprise at how well they appeared together, with comments celebrating the idea of a possible new celebrity couple.
However, neither Shakira nor Manuel Garcia-Rulfo has confirmed any romantic relationship. Shakira, who ended her long-term relationship with Gerard Piqué in 2022 after 11 years together and two children, has previously been linked to several high-profile names including Jimmy Butler, Lewis Hamilton, and Lucien Laviscount. Manuel, on the other hand, recently ended his relationship with Audrey McGraw earlier in 2026. For now, both stars remain silent, leaving fans to continue speculating about the nature of their LA outing.
