Shakira and Boyfriend ‘On a Break’

The latest celebrity news about Colombian singer Shakira is that she and her boyfriend of 11 years have broken up, but some speculate that the split could be temporary. She told Us Magazine, “We made a mutual decision to take time apart from our romantic relationship.” She also referred to the years spent with investment banker Antonio de la Rue “the most wonderful years of our lives.”

The singer left open the possibility that the two could reconcile in the future, saying, “We view this period of separation as temporary and as a time of individual growth.” Sources close to Shakira say that there was no big drama or cataclysm, but that the two felt like they had become more friends and business partners than romantic partners.

Beyoncé, who teamed up with Shakira to record new track 'Beautiful Liar', admits the Colombian singer created most of their raunchy routine.

The 'Bootylicious' singer told People magazine: "Shakira taught me how to belly dance, she taught me the whole routine. I used to watch her videos and I thought she was so cool. When she was teaching me the moves I thought, 'This is crazy, Shakira is showing me how to belly dance!'

"I got the best teacher. We didn't have a lot of time to come up with the choreography - most of it was done on the spot. I was just watching her and learning from her. It was so much fun, the best energy. She was really easy to work with, so sweet and humble."
