Prior to the Columbian beauty, Lucien was linked to former Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona.

Lucien met Kerry in 2011 when he was 19 and she was 31 on Celebrity Big Brother. They were filmed kissing and cuddling on the show and were linked after leaving the house.

Kerry recently addressed reports she dated Lucien, telling OK! magazine: ‘Lucien was very charming when I met him in the Celebrity Big Brother house and we had a good time, but he was never officially my boyfriend…’

Shakira, who struck a last-minute deal with Spanish prosecutors to avoid jail for tax fraud last year, was with her ex Gerard for 11 years until their split in the summer of 2022 following rumors he was unfaithful.

He has since begun a relationship with 26-year-old Clara Chia Marti.

Shakira recently discussed ‘rebuilding’ her life following her split from the Spanish footballer, and revealed she channeled her pain into her 12th studio album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran.

‘There were so many pieces of my life that crumbled in front of my eyes and I had to rebuild myself in a way, picking up the bones from the floor and putting them all together,’ she told the Times. ‘And the glue that kept it all together was music.’

‘For a long time I put my career on hold, to be next to Gerard, so he could play football. There was a lot of sacrifice for love.’
