Shakira has been "desperate to fall in love" since her split from footballer Gerard Piqué, but friends are concerned about her decision to get closer to UK actor Lucien Laviscount due to her tumultuous personal life, The Daily Mail reports.
The 47-year-old Colombian singer became romantically involved with the 31-year-old actor when they met on the set of the music video for her song “Punteria” and were spotted out for dinner in New York a week ago.
Lucien has had affairs with Jesy Nelson, Kelly Osbourne, Brooke Vincent, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Chelsea Healy.
Insiders have confirmed that Shakira and Lucien are together, but nothing serious, much to the relief of 47-year-old Shakira's friends, who reportedly fear he will break her heart and is only in it for the glory of dating one of the most popular women in the world.
Lucien, who is best known for his role in Emily in Paris after a string of roles in UK soaps, is a "bounce back" for Shakira, who is still recovering from her acrimonious split from Gerard, with whom she has two children, friends claim.
“Shakira is desperate to fall in love, but her friends are concerned that Lucien has been slowly moving up the celebrity ladder, dating women who were less famous than Shakira,” a source exclusively told The Daily Mail. “The women he was with were all very different. Now he's dating Shakira—and she wants love. But her friends fear he just wants people to recognize him, and she ensures that."
They said she "hasn't forgotten her ex ‘Gerard Pique and that everyone around her’ knows that Lucien is an attempt to come to his senses."
