Shakira and Rafael Nadal deny dating rumours

Colombian starlet Shakira shared a cozy meal with Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal in Barcelona, fueling rumours of a love match between the pair.

Nadal will feature in Shakira’s latest video for her new single “Gypsy”, and the Spanish hot-shot’s representative claimed the dinner was all business.

“It was a dinner organized with the director to brief Rafael on what was expected from him in the video,” Nadal’s people said.

This is the latest in a series of meetings between Shakira and Nadal, sparking online speculation as to the status of their relationship.

The 33-year-old Colombian pop star and philanthropist has been dating Antonio de la Rua, son of former Argentine President Fernando de la Rua, for nearly ten years. The couple have been engaged for eight years, but have not set a date for the wedding.

Shakira has attended several of hunky 23 year old Nadal’s tennis matches and reportedly offered to “teach him how to sing” in exchange for him teaching her “how to play.”

But maybe the Colombian pop princess just really likes tennis…
