Could Colombian singer Shakira have thought after having a whirlwind romance with Fernando de la Rua Antonio that the man with whom she had had almost ten years of relations, would sue her in court? Still, he managed to surprise not only Shakira, but the world as well.
Her ex-lover and the son of the former president of Argentine demands that the singer should pay him $45 million. Answering the question “why?”, he says – think of it! – that he has wasted the best years of his life with Shakira. Fernando explained that Shakira’s career had forced him to give up some lucrative contacts (de la Rua said that during those ten years of working as an advertising agent he could have earned about $200 million).
The couple officially broke up in January 2011, and now Shakira is quite happy with another man, soccer player Gerard Pique. It goes that she is pregnant with his child.
This idyllic life of his ex-beloved did not please de la Rua, and he decided to seek compensation in court. “Offended” Fernando will be satisfied with 18% of the earnings (252 million) obtained during the years of their relationship with Shakira. In addition, he claims to get some estate – a mansion in Uruguay and apartments in New York.
It is still unknown, if de la Rua will manage to grab a considerable part of the successful singer’s fortune, but Shakira’s lawyer made himself clear that the couple had signed a marriage agreement at the beginning of their relationship, and the ex-fiance surely could not demand more.
