Shakira spoke about her love life, her dreams and the role of a single mother during her participation in Suite 305her friend Lele Pons’ podcast, where she also clarified rumors about an alleged romance with Mexican actor Manuel García-Rulfo.
After her performance at the opening ceremony of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the singer was seen in Miami with the actor, which quickly sparked rumors about a possible relationship, mainly after videos were released in which the two appeared dancing in a Cuban restaurant in Los Angeles.
It was during his participation in Suite 305 where he shared details of his love life. After talking about her dreams and revealing that she would like to study Medicine, she delved into the role of women as mothers, professionals and people.
When asked about how she manages to give 100% as a professional and as a mother, Shakira highlighted that this is part of the power of mothers, who, in many cases, assume the greatest responsibility of supporting the family and their children, while also trying to balance their love life.
The singer reflected on the role of single mothers and spoke of the many women who, around the world, must raise their families, ensure the well-being of their children and, at the same time, not stop being women.
She confessed that, as a mother, she always has Milan and Sasha in mind, although she acknowledged that the process also involves constantly thinking about the time she cannot share with them. She explained that she tries to concentrate her work when she is alone to give them all her attention when they are with her.
He also said that at the time, Milan and Sasha were with his father, giving him small opportunities to catch up on his work commitments. She added that the effort to balance her life does not leave her time to have a boyfriend, a statement that contradicts the speculation that has arisen on social networks.
“I don’t have a boyfriend, I don’t have anything… There is no time for anything, there is no way,” she confessed in the podcast. He added that, at this stage of his life, his priority is his children.
In her words, when they are not with her she hardly sleeps, because she takes advantage of that time to get work done so she can dedicate herself completely to them when they return. Likewise, he highlighted: «People must think: “She has a great time being single.” But it’s work, work, work,” highlighting that, for now, he only has time for his music, his tour and his children.
