London:
After months of speculation, pop star Shakira and footballer Gerard Pique's romance has now been confirmed, with a photograph of the couple sharing a passionate kiss on the cover of a Colombian magazine.
The 34-year-old singer is seen closing her eyes and leaning in for a romantic embrace with the 24-year-old sportsman on the cover of Caras, reported Daily Mail online.
The Hips Don't Lie hitmaker is a native of Colombia and has been linked to the Spanish footballer since last year, but she had dismissed the reports as mere rumours.
Shakira had called off her 11-year-long relationship with lawyer Antonio de la Rua, 37, at the beginning of this year, amid rumours that he had been cheating on her.
The singer first met Pique last spring while shooting the video to her song Waka Waka, official track of the 2010 World Cup.
While announcing her split Shakira had said that she views the separation as temporary, and that Antonio, who is also her agent, would continue to oversee her business and career interests.
