Shakira & Rafael Nadal: Dating or Just Friends?
A steamy appearance by tennis champion Rafael Nadal in a new music video by Shakira has sparked rumors that the hotties may be more than just friends.
It looks like that's all we're talking about, though: rumors.
Last week, the pair, who heat up the video for her song "Gypsy," premiering in April, was spotted sharing a cozy meal at the W Hotel in Barcelona, Spain.
"They were giggling. They're very flirty," a source says of the music video shoot.
"They had a lot of chemistry while they were filming, and after as well."

In the "Gypsy" video, the 33-year-old Colombian singer and the 23-year-old Spanish athlete roll around, hold hands, embraces, and look smoldering.
But don't get any ideas.
Shakira is quasi-engaged to Antonio de la Rua, the son of former Argentine president Fernando de la Rúa. While she is reluctant to wed, they have been together nine years and, she says, have been totally monogamous. Nine years!
Nadal, meanwhile, is dating his high school sweetheart, Maria Francisca Perello, and his rep denied a romantic relationship between the "good friends."
Friends may be all they are, but Shakira has still seen Rafael Nadal shirtless up close and in the flesh. For that she is likely the envy of many ladies.

well I guess it is the natural tendancy to couple up any two celebrities when they show up together in a music video or at a dinner. But what everyone forgets is that they also have a normalcy in their lives, might wanna flirt with someone but that doesn't necessarily lay the foundation for a romantic relationship unless ofcourse there is consent on both sides. In this too, probably one person has a soft spot for the other and the other mght even be completely ignorant about it...who knows...

The chemistry between then is palpable. The video is steamy and they look fantastic together. If I were her long-suffering fiance I'd be very worried right about now.
