Alejandro Sanz<\/span><\/span> has offered one of the most sincere conversations of his career when he sat down with Jordi \u00c9vole<\/span><\/span> in a television special recorded between Washington and New York.<\/p>\n

In this meeting, the singer opened the doors of his personal and professional life, reviewing both his greatest hits and the most difficult moments that have marked his career.<\/p>\n

Without mincing words, the artist addressed issues that for years had remained in the realm of speculation.<\/p>\n

Alejandro Sanz and the origin of the rumors of romance with Shakira<\/h2>\n

One of the most anticipated points of the interview<\/a> was, without a doubt, his relationship with Shakira<\/span><\/span>. Speculation began in 2005, when both artists released the hit song “La tortura”, a collaboration that quickly became an international phenomenon. The chemistry they projected, both on and off stage, fueled rumors of a possible romance for years. <\/p>\n

However, until now neither of the two had spoken so clearly on the subject. It was \u00c9vole who brought up this obvious connection, prompting a direct response from the singer from Madrid. <\/p>\n

Far from dodging the question, Sanz acknowledged that there was a special connection between them. However, he clarified that this never went beyond friendship and professional matters. The reason, as he explained, was simple: both were in a sentimental relationship at the time. <\/p>\n

The singer recalled that Shakira was at the time with Antonio de la Rua<\/span><\/span>whom he knew personally. This situation, added to his own love life, meant that any possibility of romance was ruled out from the beginning. Rather than a missed opportunity, Sanz sees it as a wise decision. <\/p>\n

Over the years, the singer has reflected on what it meant not to cross that line. As he explained, that choice allowed his relationship with Shakira to evolve into a solid friendship, based on mutual respect and affection. For him, it is one of the most valuable bonds he has built in his life. <\/p>\n

A friendship that has stood the test of time<\/h2>\n

Even when \u00c9vole insisted -in a more relaxed tone- on whether there was any kind of tension between them, Sanz was blunt: there is no romantic component at present. What does remain is a close complicity, full of trust and sense of humor. <\/p>\n

In 2005, both artists were going through very different personal stages than they are today. Sanz had just come to the end of a phase following his separation from Jaydy Michel<\/span><\/span>with whom he had his daughter Manuela. Shortly after, he would start a relationship with Raquel Perera<\/span><\/span>with whom he would form a family. <\/p>\n

On the other hand, Shakira had a stable relationship with De la R\u00faa, which lasted for more than a decade and had a great influence on her personal and professional life. Years later, after a mediatic breakup, she would start a new stage with Gerard Piqu\u00e9. Gerard Piqu\u00e9<\/span><\/span>the father of her children. <\/p>\n

Although many imagined a love story between the two artists, the truth is that reality took a different path. Far from becoming a sentimental relationship, their bond became a lasting friendship that has survived the passage of time. <\/p>\n

For Alejandro Sanz, that current connection – honest, close and uncomplicated – represents one of the most authentic forms of affection. A story that, although different from what many imagined, ended up being equally or even more significant. <\/p>\n
