Global pop star Shakira is once again at the center of dating speculation after being spotted with actor Manuel Garcia-Rulfo in Los Angeles.
According to images shared on social media platform Deuxmoi, the pair were seen together at the Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood before leaving in the same vehicle. The photos reportedly show them smiling, laughing, and engaged in relaxed conversation, fueling speculation about a possible new relationship.
Neither Shakira nor Garcia-Rulfo has commented on the sightings.
The appearance comes as Shakira continues to move forward following her separation from former partner Gerard Piqué, with whom she shared an 11-year relationship. The former couple met during the filming of her 2010 FIFA World Cup anthem Waka Waka and have two sons together, Milan and Sasha.
Their breakup in 2022 followed widespread media attention and reports of infidelity, marking a difficult personal chapter for the Colombian singer.
Since the split, Shakira has been linked to several high-profile names, including athletes and actors, though none of those rumors were confirmed.

Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, best known for his role as Mickey Haller in Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer, has also had a recent breakup. He previously dated Audrey McGraw, daughter of country music stars Faith Hill and Tim McGraw.
As speculation grows online, fans remain divided between curiosity and caution, with no official confirmation from either side.
For now, the sighting has simply added another layer of intrigue to Shakira’s evolving post-breakup life and public spotlight.
