Did Shakira go too far with her comment?
The Latin entertainment world has some juicy new gossip. And it comes from Alejandro Sanz’s personal documentary, “When nobody sees me.” In a fragment that circulates like wildfire, Shakira meets Candela Márquez, the Spanish singer’s new partner.
And blurt this out in front of them:
“My children tell me ‘she’s just like you, Alejandro’s girlfriend'”
Said with a smile. But, of course, the internet is not forgiving.
The debate is served on networks
One sector believes that the comment was too direct, even out of place. Others argue that Shakira was just being sincere, without ulterior motives. The truth is that comparisons between Candela and the Colombian have been circulating for months.
In recent photos of Márquez, comments about his physical resemblance to Shakira are constant. It seems that the singer’s children are not the only ones who see it.
Context of a legendary friendship
Shakira and Sanz have a long musical (and rumor) history. Three iconic collaborations:
- “La Tortura” (2005) – An anthem with suggestive dance that won Grammys.
- “I Thank You, But No” (2006) – Another resounding success.
- “Bésame” (2025) – His most recent song, with a sensual video recorded remotely.
Their chemistry on stage always fueled theories among fans. What if there was something else. What if Sanz was in love. Now, with Candela on the scene and this viral comment, the cocktail is perfect for the collective morbidity.
Inconvenient truth or simple observation? The networks decide.
