What do the reports say about Nadal Relationship with Shakira?
As reported by the Spanish paparazzo, Jordi Martin, the singer and the tennis player began their clandestine dating back in 2009, when the two met for the Gypsy video clip.
The video for one of Shakira’s best-known songs involved exchanging sensual looks and laughter, but it seems like it was more than just script requirements. As reported by Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, the paparazzo explained that the two had an intense love affair when the video of the song was shot.
At the time, rumors reported that Shakira was dating Alejandro Sanz, a well-known Spanish singer. On the other hand, the tennis player was in a difficult situation: at the time, Nadal was already romantically linked to Mary Perellò, whom he met in 2005 at school.
