Rumors grow about a possible relationship between Shakira and Serge Ibaka, former NBA player: what is known

Shakira continues to make headlines, although this time it is her love life that has put the spotlight on the Colombian artist. According to the program "El Gordo y la Flaca," from the American network "Univision", the ex of Gerard Piqué could be starting a relationship with another athlete.'

Specifically, with former NBA player Serge Ibaka, 37. That is at least what journalist Jordi Martín claimed exclusively a few days ago. "Everything seems to indicate that "She Wolf" has a new suitor, and it is none other than Serge Ibaka", he announced.

Since then, rumors surrounding that possible relationship with the basketball player of Congolese origin and Spanish nationality have been growing, while the singer was finishing her concert residency in Madrid, to great public and critical acclaim.

"While rumors suggest that there could be something more than just a simple friendship between the two, sources close to the Colombian admit that they have gone out together several times but are only friends," the newspaper La Razón reported this Monday, citing information from celebrity journalist Aurelio Manzanero.

Ibaka reportedly even attended several concerts in Madrid, taking advantage of his stay in the Spanish capital. Later, the two reportedly shared trips on a private jet, according to Jordi Martín. One of those trips reportedly took them to Paris, during fashion week held in the French capital, according to those reports on the matter.

Currently, Ibaka is without a team after having played for the Oklahoma City Thunder, Orlando Magic, Toronto Raptors (where he won the championship in 2019), Los Angeles Clippers and Milwaukee Bucks. He also played for Real Madrid basketball, the bitter rival of Barcelona, the team of her ex Gerard Piqué.

Shakira's illusion

'In the past, Serge Ibaka had romantic relationships with French model Cindy Bruna and American actress and singer Keri Hilson. "I found out a few days ago, I picked up the phone, I started calling people in Shakira's circle. There is one person who tells me "wow, well yes, it is true that we see her excited, but we don't know the name,"" Jordi Martín stated.'

'When I find out elsewhere who he is, I then see that I have a mutual person on Instagram. I call that person, who is a friend of mine, and he says "gosh, how do you know, Jordi? He told me personally",' he said.

Finally, he revealed one last detail that would confirm the relationship. "I receive a call from a person who has very good information confirming that this could be real. I mean, calling Ibaka her boyfriend is a big deal," he admitted.
