Shakira Goes Public With Gerard Pique

FORGIVE me for being cynical.
But there will be a lot of blokes hoping this is just a rebound.

SHAKIRA is off the market again faster than you can say ‘her Hips Don’t Lie’.

The Colombian beauty has been snapped smooching new flame GERARD PIQUE on the front cover of Spanish mag Caras.

True love or rebound? ... Shakira and Pique

The footie ace sparked rumours last month that they were dating after he posted a snap of them together on Facebook.

The She-Wolf singer, 34, and Barcelona sportsman, 24, had been celebrating their joint birthday in February.

It was only in January she called it quits with her Argentinian boyfriend of 11 years – although the pair had privately separated in August 2010.

The Grammy-winner addressed fans through her website, saying she and ANTONIO DE LA RUA decided to “take time apart”.

But in a twist, she said their separation was a temporary solution as a “time of individual growth”.

The Whenever, Wherever star will continue to work alongside Antonio, the son of a former president of Argentina.

I’m not so sure after he sees this Pique.

Hip-shaker ... Shakira

The pair were engaged in 2001, with the flexible Latino crediting Antonio for keeping her grounded.

She added: “I’ve been in the public eye for a long time and I don’t know any other way of living – it’s everything I know.

“My family and my friends remind me what’s real, which helps, and Antonio – he is a wise man.

“If I get a bit silly he brings me back and reminds me who I am.”

The pop princess has also announced she is moving to Spain, but claims the relocation has nothing to do with her new fella.

A source said: “Shakira has a sister who lives there and she already spends a lot of time there but is now planning on setting up her European base.”

She has rented a luxury villa on the outskirts of Barcelona from Spanish ex world long distance swimming champion DAVID MECA, with an indefinite lease.
