Alejandro Sanz and Shakira Release New Single ‘Bésame’ Amid Relationship Rumors

MADRID, Spain — Alejandro Sanz and Shakira, two of the biggest names in Latin music, have partnered once again to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their hit song ‘La Tortura’ with the release of a new single, ‘Bésame.’ This track will be part of Sanz’s upcoming album.

This collaboration comes after a long professional connection, and both artists recently promoted the single through a social media video that showcased their chemistry, culminating in a playful kiss. Their post teased, “And if destiny unites us once, twice, and three times… we still have more of #Bésame to share.”

However, the excitement around the single has coincided with personal drama for Sanz. Hours after the post, Candela Márquez, Sanz’s girlfriend, unfollowed him on Instagram, leading to speculations about their relationship. Reports suggest that the decision may have been influenced by her discomfort with the news.

Candela, 37, and Sanz, 56, have been dating since last fall when they were first spotted together by a Mexican magazine. Their relationship appeared affectionate during public outings, including a recent Goya Awards event where they were seen together.

Meanwhile, Sanz and Shakira’s announcement about their collaboration serves to shift some attention back to their professional achievements rather than personal issues. “A song, a friendship, and the desire to come together are enough to create a video and bring you the beauty of what is natural,” they stated in a follow-up message, aiming to calm the storm surrounding their personal lives.
