You know that feeling when an old flame steps back into your life? Well, imagine that, but on a global stage, with millions of eyes watching your every move. That’s the wild ride Antonio de la Rúa seems to be on right now with none other than Shakira. For weeks, rumors have been swirling about the two getting close again.
Just recently, Shakira wrapped up her Mexico tour, “Las Mujeres ya no Lloran,” with a big show at the Estadio GNP Seguros. It was a night full of music and surprises. Belinda joined her on stage as a special guest, but the real buzz was in the audience. Antonio de la Rúa, the Argentine businessman, was there. When Shakira started singing “Día de Enero,” the cameras quickly turned to him. Everyone knows this emotional track was a love letter she penned for him during their decade-long relationship. You can even see a moment from the show that caught people’s attention: the cameras on De la Rúa during “Día de Enero.”
Now, with whispers of a rekindled romance everywhere, even if neither has officially confirmed it, fans are diving deep into the lyrics of “Día de Enero.” The iconic song came out in 2006 on her album “Fijación Oral Vol. 1.” It’s like a secret message that’s suddenly public again.
The Heartfelt Words of “Día de Enero”
This song is practically a direct message from Shakira to Antonio de la Rúa. Even though their relationship ended more than ten years ago, the song remains a powerful dedication to him. You can listen to the track here: Shakira – Día de Enero.
Part of the song goes: “I met you one day in January with the moon on my nose / And since I saw you were sincere, I got lost in your eyes / What a clumsy distraction, what a sweet sensation.” The song is all about unconditional support and trust in a loving relationship. Shakira, clearly head over heels when she wrote it, shared how her partner helped her through tough times and insecurities, showing her true love.
In the chorus, she sings: “You’ll see how your wounds heal little by little / You’ll see how life itself will decant the excess salt from the sea.” The song feels tender and honest. It stands out from some of her more rhythmic or sensual tunes because it focuses purely on an emotional bond. Interestingly, she wrote these words during a time when her music leaned more towards pop-rock, before she fully embraced the purer pop sound we know today.
Could Shakira and Antonio de la Rúa Get Back Together?
Only Shakira and Antonio truly know what’s going on, but they haven’t shied away from public appearances lately. This openness suggests a strong connection, whether it’s a romantic spark or a very special friendship.
Back in mid-August, they were both spotted in the hallway of Petco Park, which is the home stadium for the San Diego Padres. The picture quickly made its rounds on social media. Fans were convinced that the romance between them was back on. You can see the photo that went viral here: Image of Shakira and Antonio de la Rúa at Petco Park.
They were also seen having a meal together at a restaurant. Shakira’s children, Milan and Sasha, were there, as well as Antonio’s two kids, Zulú and Mael. It’s a full-circle moment for the two stars, who were together from 2000 to 2010. It seems the story of Shakira and Antonio de la Rúa is far from over.
