For quite a few weeks, Shakira has been in the limelight with her rumored boyfriend, Lewis Hamilton. For months the fanbase has wondered what has gone on between them. That is because neither of them has ever commented on their reported relationship. Recently, a popular journalist attempted to clarify the intricate details while also stating that there was ‘total freedom’ between them.

Apart from that, the Latin American singer has been stuck in a tax fraud controversy for months. In the past, she has seemed confident about her innocence, but she could face up to eight years in jail if things didn’t go her way.

Jordi Martin attempts to clear the air over the confusing Shakira-Hamilton saga

A few days ago, ever-famous journalist Jordi Martin attempted to decode the secret relationship between Shakira and Hamilton. The journalist seemingly attempted to bring clarity to the forefront. He said, “Between them, there has been something more than a friendship. They both knew there was nothing serious and there was total freedom between them to do whatever they wanted.”

“Shakira has not demanded anything from Hamilton and at no time was upset because the driver appears with one or two girls,” as compiled by Semana and translated by DeepL. Martin claimed that every detail between them was crystal clear without any confusion and the singer appeared at several Grand Prix by her own will.

He concluded, “They both had things very clear and I strongly deny that Shakira has forced to go out in the Bigbox, Hamilton has always invited her and has been polite to her”. Her ex-boyfriend Gerard Pique is in a relationship with Clara Chia Marti. On the other hand, the Colombian icon has seemingly preferred to stay single for the well-being of her children.

While she deals with her daily dose of relationship rumors, Shakira is tied up in a tax fraud controversy. Here are more details on the same.

Shakira’s tax-fraud controversy

Soon after parting ways with Pique, the Spanish Authorities accused her of a $15.9 million tax fraud between 2012-14. In response to that, the Waka-Waka singer has always claimed that she wasn’t living in Spain at that time. Hence, she wasn’t liable to pay taxes. Months ago, the court gave her the freedom to choose her own trial date due to her music career commitments.

In case the court finds her guilty, she could face up to eight-and-a-half years in prison. Her legal team recently cleared the air around another reported tax fraud case from 2018. The sound of that statement doesn’t sound very pleasant as she is currently single-parenting two young children in Miami. While everyone awaits Shakira’s verdict on her next relationship, she will soon need to be in court with her legal team to prove her innocence.
