Rafael Nadal was secretly dating Shakira. Rafael Nadal and Shakira were involved in a covert relationship, and the scandal originated in Spain. The singer and the tennis player reportedly started their covert relationship back in 2009 when they first met for the Gypsy video clip, according to the Spanish paparazzi Jordi Martin.
At the time, reports circulated that Shakira was dating popular Spanish singer Alejandro Sanz. However, the tennis player was in a tricky predicament because Mary Perell, whom he met in 2005 at school, was already Nadal’s romantic interest at the time.
The news is really unbelievable, but Rafael Nadal is not in a good position because he is concentrating on the US Open at the moment.
The third-ranked player in the world, who has already won the first two Grand Slam championships of the year, is aiming for title number 23, which would tie Serena Williams for the most Grand Slam victories in history.
After defeating the Australian Hijikata in the opening round, Nadal may face the Italian Fabio Fognini in the second encounter at Flushing Meadows before achieving the victory. The Italian is one of the few players to have come back from a two-set deficit to defeat the Iberian champion in a best-of-five match.
He may face Carlos Alcaraz in the all-Spanish semifinal if he survives the peril of the quarterfinals, where Rublev and Norrie orbit. However, the card indicates that Daniil Medvedev might return in a possible final, much as he did in the final game of the previous Australian Open. Rafael Nadal was secretly dating Shakira
