Singer Shakira has rubbished rumours that she’s Robbie William’s latest squeeze. The pair had been spotted together several times at recent celebrity events, which has had LA tongues wagging. However, Shakira says that she is happily in love with her Argentinian fiancé of four years, Antonio De La Rua, and that she and Robbie are just friends. Shakira explains, “Robbie’s a really nice guy, a beautiful person. We hung out a bit in LA but we’re really just friends. Antonio’s so great. I’ve been so hectic recently, touring my Spanish album and finishing my new English material, but he’s so supportive. I’ve got the ring on my finger – and that’s the most important thing!” [3 March 2006]
