Kate Middleton New Video Shows Her Happy, Healthy With William

OUT AND ABOUT
TMZ / The Sun

The Kate Middleton sighting that got reported on this week is real after all -- 'cause a new video of her during this outing has surfaced ... and TMZ's got a first look.

TMZ has obtained a clip that was taken of Kate Saturday while she and Prince William were visiting a business about a mile from their home in Windsor -- known as the Windsor Farm Shop -- where The Sun reported eyewitnesses saw them out and about this past weekend.

Onlookers felt she looked "happy, relaxed and healthy" as she strolled in the store -- a supermarket of sorts -- and the couple didn't seem to have a care in the world.

Their three kids weren't with them ... but The Sun also claimed they spent the first part of their Saturday watching the children play sports. At first, there was no real evidence to back up the report ... but now, the first actual visual of her here has surfaced, and it's 100% her.

As you see in this footage, obtained by TMZ, Kate looks relaxed in casual athletic wear ... rocking an all-black look with some pink trimming. Her gait is strong -- a good sign given her purported abdominal surgery. PW is right by her side as they walk out of the Farm Shop with bags in hand.

Nobody around looks to be bothering them ... and Kate, sure enough, does indeed look pretty cheerful here -- smiling wide and even carrying on a conversation with her husband.

One of the eyewitnesses who saw them, Nelson Silva, says ... "I noticed a couple choosing loaves of bread and the woman turned her face and I felt like I had seen the face before. It was familiar. I knew it from somewhere."

He adds, "I went to my car and as they came out of the shop I just filmed them. I think they walked out through a gate out of the grounds. They just vanished and I didn't see a car. I just wanted to share with my family footage and show just how normal they were."

Silva finishes ... "Kate looked happy and relaxed. They look happy just to be able to go to a shop and mingle. Kate looked relieved like it was a success going to a shop. It felt natural."

The couple was walking at a relatively brisk pace ... and Kate, on its face, seems to be okay. Frankly, it's as if nothing was ever wrong with her ... although, of course, we know she was in the hospital for a while for a serious procedure that took her out of commission.

The exact nature of her ailment was never made clear by Kensington Palace officials.

BTW, for all the skeptics who might not believe this was taken as it's been relayed to us -- we've delved into the metadata ... and there's no doubt, this was filmed on Saturday right near the Prince and Princess of Wales' home in Windsor. So yes, it's a legitimate video.

Like we said, this is the first time we've seen Kate out in public -- outside of a car, that is -- since December -- and now that we're seeing her in the wild, on her own two feet, ya gotta wonder if this will satisfy conspiracy theorists who have taken over TikTok.

Remember, the Palace says she underwent abdominal surgery in January -- and was scheduled to be sidelined until at least Easter. Despite this timeline ... that hasn't stopped people from floating jokes/conspiracy theories, which got gravely serious on Mother's Day.

Of course, we're referring to the Photoshop fail seen 'round-the-world ... which showed that Kate (or someone at Kensington Palace) tried to pull a fast one on the public. There were 16 alterations made to the photo ... and it's been debunked as a fake many times over.

Kate ended up copping to it herself ... albeit, in nothing but a social media statement. Lots of people felt she was falling on the sword and that the Palace was behind the edits.

After that botched job ... everyone thought something very serious was going on -- but now, we're seeing Kate out and about and seemingly fine.

Are you believing your lying eyes?

Kanye & Bianca Business Casual for Meetings ... Let's Talk Shop, Bev Hills!!!

Kanye West and Bianca Censori went to some business meetings on Monday -- and they were dressed to impress ... depending on what type of ventures they're chasing, that is.

The couple hit the town again to kick off the week, and they first started out by hitting up Bev Hills -- going into office buildings for what we're told appeared to be formal chats with powerbrokers and shot-callers ... and if they did, they were ready to knock some socks off.

By that, we mostly mean BC, who outdid herself yet again with another eye-popping, body-hugging 'fit that was squeezing her up tight -- and barely holding her upper half together.

Just when we thought we'd seen everything ... Bianca trotted herself out in this little number -- rocking a revealing pink tube top, showing off major cleavage, and neon nylon stockings.

Ye, of course, was just rockin' his usual all-black getup -- and it looks like he was styling Bianca in one of the buildings at one point. Unclear if he was pulling her stocking bottom down or up -- but here, it looks like her booty is very much so revealed, on purpose.

After their business meetings in BH ... Ye and Bianca went to The Grove and hit up a bunch of the shops -- and we're told they even went to Cheesecake Factory at one point. As you can see ... they were having a ball in each other's company, laughing it up/holding hands.

Of course, this outing follows another one the night prior ... when they were up in Burbank strolling around, where there too Bianca was letting it all hang out -- quite literally.

That 'fit of hers was more color-coordinated than this latest one appears to be -- but hey, Spring is upon us ... and perhaps she was feeling a little festive in the daytime and wanted to reflect the mood with her highlighter-esque colors.

Never a dull moment with these two ... have fun, lovebirds!

KATE MIDDLETON NUEVO VIDEO LA MUESTRA FELIZ Y saludable con William

de paseo
TMZ / The Sun

El avistamiento de Kate Middleton que se informó esta semana es real después de todo, y hay un nuevo video que lo prueba... TMZ tiene una primera impresión.

TMZ ha obtenido un clip de Kate del sábado, en el que ella y el príncipe William estaban visitando un negocio que quedaba a una milla de distancia de su casa en Windsor -conocido como el Windsor Farm Shop- donde The Sun informó que testigos los vieron este fin de semana.

Los espectadores consideraron que ella parecía "feliz, relajada y saludable" mientras paseaban por una especie de supermercado. La pareja no parecía tener una preocupación en el mundo.

Sus tres hijos no estaban con ellos, pero The Sun afirmó que pasaron la primera parte de su sábado viéndolos practicar deportes. No había pruebas reales para respaldar el informe, pero ahora, una imagen de ella ha salido a la luz, y es 100% real.

Como se puede ver en estas imágenes -obtenidas por TMZ- Kate se ve relajada en ropa deportiva casual, con un look todo negro y algunos adornos color rosa. Su andar es fuerte, lo cual es una buena señal dada su supuesta cirugía abdominal. Se puede ver a William a su lado cargando algunas bolsas.

Nadie a su alrededor parece molestarlos, y Kate, en efecto, parece bastante alegre, sonriendo ampliamente e incluso manteniendo una conversación con su marido.

Uno de los testigos que los vio, Nelson Silva, dice: "Me fijé en un par de panes que estaban eligiendo, hasta que la mujer giró la cara y me pareció que la había visto en algún lugar. Me resultaba familiar. La conocía de alguna parte".

Y añade: "Fui a mi carro y cuando salieron de la tienda me limité a filmarlos. Creo que salieron por una puerta del recinto. Desaparecieron y no vi ningún vehículo. Solo quería compartir con mi familia las imágenes y mostrar lo normales que eran".

Silva termina: "Kate se veía feliz y relajada. Se ven felices de poder ir a una tienda y mezclarse. Kate parecía aliviada, como si hubiera sido un éxito poder ir a una tienda. Se sentía natural".

La pareja estaba caminando a un ritmo relativamente rápido y Kate se ve muy bien. Francamente, es como si nada hubiese pasado, aunque sabemos que ella estuvo en el hospital por un tiempo para realizarse un procedimiento serio que la dejó fuera de servicio.

La naturaleza exacta de su dolencia nunca fue aclarada por los funcionarios del Palacio de Kensington.

Por cierto, para todos los escépticos que no pueden creerlo, hemos profundizado en los metadatos y no hay duda alguna, esto fue filmado el sábado cerca de la casa del Príncipe y la Princesa de Gales en Windsor. Así que sí, es un video legítimo.

Como hemos dicho, esta es la primera vez que hemos visto a Kate en público -al menos fuera de un carro- desde diciembre, y ahora que la podemos ver, da para pensar en la reacción de los teóricos de la conspiración que se han apoderado de TikTok.

Recordemos que el Palacio dice que se sometió a una cirugía abdominal en enero, y estaba programado que estuviera ausente por lo menos hasta la Pascua. Sin embargo, esto no ha impedido que la gente haga bromas y surjan teorías conspirativas afirmando que se puso mal el Día de la Madre.

Por supuesto, nos referimos a las fallidas ediciones de Photoshop que dieron la vuelta al mundo, las cuales demostraron que Kate (o alguien en el Palacio de Kensington) trató de engañar al público. Hubo 16 alteraciones en la foto y ha sido calificada de falsa muchas veces.

Kate acabó confesando ella misma, aunque solo en una declaración por redes sociales. Mucha gente pensó que estaba haciendo trampa y que el Palacio estaba detrás de las ediciones.

Después de ese trabajo, todo el mundo pensó que algo muy grave estaba pasando, pero podemos ver que aparentemente Kate está bien.

¿Será real esta vez?

BIANCA CENSORI ROCKS FULLY SEE-THROUGH OUTFIT ... Hanging By A Thread!!

Bianca Censori has struck again with another mind-bogglingly racy outfit -- turning heads while pulling up to a Raising Cane's drive-thru in Burbank with her man Kanye West.

The Aussie bombshell doesn't hold back in this latest getup Sunday ... serving up some serious heat in a super sheer black ensemble with thin clear straps that were fighting for dear life trying to contain her assets.

Bianca's confidence in rocking her daring styles is iconic ... but even she knows when to draw the line 'cause she strategically placed her phone across her crotch to keep things R-rated -- as opposed to NC-17.

Of course, Kanye's outfit was nowhere near as shocking, but he did match his wife in an all-black look for the outing that saw them reunited after a brief break.

BTW, worth noting ... Ye is rocking Nike gloves here -- telling, considering his on-again-off-again feud with Adidas ... with whom he's currently on the outs as he's accused them of trying to make money off his Yeezy designs. What else is new though?

NO PEEKING!!!
BACKGRID

One last thing about this little outing of theirs in the Valley -- some dude tried blocking them off as paps fired away ... throwing up what appeared to be a jacket or blanket of some sort as he aggressively tried to obscure their view. No word on whether he's a hired security guard, or just some random Schmo who popped up out of nowhere. It's kinda giving the latter!

Anyway, it's clear Bianca isn't shying away from her typical style these days -- even with her folks in town ... or one of them at least.

As we reported ... BC was hanging with her mom, Alexandra, for the last few days ... hitting up Rolling Loud to catch Ye's performance and stopping by a San Fernando Valley cosmetics store. In the latter, the model went braless under a pink mini-dress -- but for the most part, it was practically conservative dressing on her part.

As you all know, the rapper has been openly flaunting his near-nude wife almost exclusively ... and he's been doing it since the start of 2023, hot on the heels of his Kim K split.

Chiefs Kicker Harrison Butker I Hope Travis And Taylor Get Hitched ... Start A Family!!!

Travis Kelce's teammate is hoping his relationship with Taylor Swift results in love, marriage and a baby in a carriage ... 'cause Harrison Butker can't get enough of the tight end's girlfriend!!

The Chiefs kicker revealed his wishes for the two lovebirds in an interview with EWTN's "In Depth" recently ... when he was asked his thoughts on the pop superstar's presence at Kansas City games this season.

Butker admitted he was initially nervous to meet Swift at first (despite not really identifying as a Swiftie) ... but praised how down-to-earth the "Karma" crooner is in person.

He pointed out the feeling was mutual ... as Swift was mind-blown over the fact he's able to kick balls so far and accurately.

Butker pointed out he hung out with Swift for a bit at a New Year's Eve party ... and it was "a great experience" and he couldn't say enough good things about her.

As for Traylor's future, Butker is wishing nothing but long-term success for the power couple ...  saying "I hope they get married and start a family."

The comments are pretty interesting -- Butker has no issue putting that kinda pressure on Kelce, so maybe the guys have talked about the tight end's true feelings toward Swift and what his intentions are in the relationship.

Perhaps an engagement really is coming someday!!

KRISTIN CAVALLARI COMPARTE FOTO DE MARK ESTES CON SU HIJO

Kristin Cavallari y su novio Mark Estes claramente van en serio, porque no solo le ha presentado a sus hijos, además están en una relación.

La madre de tres compartió una foto por Instagram el domingo, con su nuevo novio de 24 años de edad compartiendo con uno de sus hijos. Parecen inmersos en la conversación mientras que Mama Cavallari los sigue unos pasos atrás.

Kristin no añadió comentarios en la foto, pero puso un emoji de corazón blanco, lo que quiere decir que claramente está muy feliz al respecto.

Por cierto, no está claro cuál de los hijos de Kristin es el del video, pero puedes imaginar que les presentó a Mark al mismo tiempo. Podemos deducir que se los presentó hace un buen rato porque se ven muy cómodos. Kristin comparte tres hijos con su ex, Jay Cutler.

Parece que las cosas avanzan rápidamente entre Kristin y Mark. Recuerde que Cavallari solo reveló que estaban saliendo a finales de febrero, por lo que las cosas han progresado bastante rápido entre los dos.

COMO UNA COLEGIALA
Let’s Be Honest with Kristin Cavallari

Al parecer el destino quería que la pareja se conociera. Kristin reveló recientemente en su pódcast "Let's Be Honest", que vio por primera vez a Mark en TikTok con su equipo The Montana Boyz.

Semanas después de ver al bombón, Kristin recibió un mensaje de uno de los chicos. Invitó al grupo a su pódcast, congenió con Estes y empezaron a verse. Un cuento de hadas del siglo XXI.

Parece que un mensaje en la bandeja de entrada se ha convertido en cupido, y solo queda esperar y ver como sigue esta linda relación.

Kristin Cavallari Shares Pic of Mark Estes w/ Son ... Bonding Weeks After Relationship Reveal

Kristin Cavallari and her boyfriend Mark Estes are clearly pretty serious ... 'cause not only has she introduced him to her kids -- but it seems they've got a rapport!

The mother-of-three shared a picture to Instagram Sunday featuring her new 24-year-old beau with one of her kids ... and they seem deep in conversation while Mama Cavallari is able to hang back a few steps.

KC didn't add anything in the way of words to the pic ... but she did drop a white heart emoji on the photo -- so clearly she's pretty happy with the chummy bonding going on.

BTW ... unclear which of Kristin's sons this is -- but, ya gotta imagine she introduced Mark to them at or around the same time, and it was long enough ago that one of her kids can seemingly hold a convo with him comfortably. Kristin shares three children with her ex, Jay Cutler.

It seems like things are movin' along quickly between KC and ME ... remember, Cavallari only revealed they were dating at the end of February -- so things have seemingly progressed quickly between the two.

Like A High School Girl
Let’s Be Honest with Kristin Cavallari

It makes sense when you consider it seems almost like fate was pushing these two together ... Kristin recently revealed on her 'Let's Be Honest' podcast that she first spotted Mark on TikTok with his crew The Montana Boyz.

Weeks after spotting the hottie, Kristin got a DM from one of the guys. She invited the group on her podcast, hit it off with Estes and they started seeing each other. Talk about a 21st century fairytale!

Anyway, it seems a stray DM has now turned into contact with the kids ... and, we'll just have to wait and see where the loved-up couple goes from here.

Zendaya & Tom Holland Just Want To Dance With Somebody ... Singin' Whitney at Match

Zendaya and Tom Holland put on an impromptu performance during the BNP Paribas Open ... belting out Whitney Houston at a break in the action.

The lovely couple were sitting together at the tennis final Sunday when they were both seemingly overtaken by the music ... launching into their own renditions of "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" by the late, great artist.

You can't hear the pair singing, but just check out the clip ... the dynamic duo's clearly putting on quite the show for anyone looking their way. TH is even getting his body rockin' to the beat.

And, the end of the singing is just as good too ... with the couple sharing a joke during the last notes of the song -- not totally clear what they're laughing about, but they look adorable here, seemingly lost in their own world

The pair were dressed in their tennis best ... a good thing too, 'cause Zendaya headed down to the court after the match to take a snap with the women's champ Iga Swiatek.

What a day for Iga -- a trophy and a pic with Zendaya ... no wonder she's grinning from ear to ear!

BTW both Tom and Zendaya have their own affinities for the sport -- TH has been photographed at multiple tournaments, just like Zendaya ... who seems to like it so much she's starring in the movie "Challengers" based around the sport.

If Tom and Zendaya wanna dance with somebody though ... they really only need to look at one another. Happy singin', lovebirds!!!

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Flat Tire Disrupts Afternoon Date ... Forced to Abandon Car!!!

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's romantic afternoon had a wrench thrown in it ... or more accurately a tire -- 'cause one of theirs popped and stopped their date

The lovebirds were rollin' around Los Angeles Saturday in a silver BMW when they suffered a flat tire, quickly bringing their couple's outing to an unfortunate standstill.

Bennifer hopped out to check the damage -- with Ben in a flannel and baseball cap while J Lo rocked a tight black turtleneck and matching leggings.

Affleck and Lopez both got their hands dirty, leaning over the car -- with Ben's shirt lifting to reveal his infamous back tattoo -- but they ultimately weren't able to fix the problem.

Eventually, Lopez and Affleck just had to leave the car ... calling for a ride to come pick them up and leaving the Beamer behind as they headed for greener pastures.

Unclear who picked up the BMW or if it was taken to a shop, but it's far from the first time Ben's had car trouble ... with his luck seeming more than a little worse than the average motorist on the road.

AUTO AFFLECK
BACKGRID

Remember last year when Ben's classic Cadillac broke down during a heat wave in the City of Angels? Or when his son Samuel accidentally backed a rental Lamborghini into another car?

Yeah, certainly seems like bad luck seems to plague the movie star everywhere he drives.

Seems like the rest of the day went just fine for the couple ... who were at the Lakers game last night -- apparently it's gonna take more than a flat than to keep the couple from courtside seats.

Safe driving, you two!!!

BIANCA CENSORI "VOY SOLA" ¡Y sin brasier!

Bianca Censori no necesita a Kanye West para llamar la atención.

Bianca y su madre, Alexandra, llegaron a una tienda de cosméticos en el Valle de San Fernando, y se le puede ver sin sujetador debajo de un minivestido rosa.

El dúo madre e hija ha estado pasando tiempo de calidad últimamente. Estuvieron en el Rolling Loud en Los Ángeles el jueves por la noche para ver a Kanye actuar. Kim Kardashian también se presentó. No sabemos si hablaron, ¡pero está claro que tienen muchos temas en común!

Nuestras fuentes dicen que North West es lo más importante para Kim estos días. La pequeña está totalmente involucrada en el nuevo álbum de Kanye, participando en eventos y en la grabación, y nos informan que Kim está preocupada por mantener a su hija con los pies en la tierra y libre de conversaciones tóxicas.

Todo queda en la familia.

Bianca Censori I'm Goin' it Alone, Braless of Course!!!

Bianca Censori doesn't need hubby Kanye West to turn heads ... she did just fine without him.

Bianca and her mom, Alexandra, hit up a cosmetics store in the San Fernando Valley, and she loose again ... no bra underneath a skimpy pink mini-dress.

The mother-daughter duo has been spending time together lately, hitting up Rolling Loud in L.A. Thursday night to watch Kanye perform. Kim Kardashian was also front and center ... we don't know if they talked, but they clearly have lots to talk about!

Bianca and Kim have been showing up at the same events ... 2 days before Rolling Loud, they were at Kanye and Ty Dolla $ign's "Vultures" listening party in San Francisco.

Miss Miss Westie

Our sources say North West is top of Kim's mind these days. The kid's fully in on Kanye's new album -- both in terms of performing at events and recording -- and we're told Kim's concerned about keeping her daughter grounded and free from toxic conversation.

All in the fam.

LINDSAY LOHAN ¡ESTA SOY YO EN 2024! Toda una madre de familia

Bueno, esto sin duda demuestra que los tiempos cambian, ¡Lindsay Lohan está empujando un cochecito de bebé!

LiLo estuvo en Beverly Hills el sábado junto con Luai -de 8 meses de edad-               y su marido, Bader Shammas, y algunos otros miembros de la familia.

Estuvieron en una institución de Los Ángeles -La Scala- para un pequeño almuerzo. El restaurante era muy famoso en su día, y hablando de viejos tiempos, es increíble cómo Lindsay ha enderezado su vida desde los primeros días de TMZ.

Es madre y esposa y parece serena y feliz. También está actuando de nuevo, con cierto éxito.

Más tarde ese mismo día, Lindsay y Bader fueron a Giorgio Baldi -un lugar de celebrudades- para comer algo.

Sin duda fue un buen sábado.

Lindsay Lohan This is Me in 2024!!! ... Pushin' Baby Stroller in Bev Hills

Well, this certainly proves times change ... Lindsay Lohan is pushing a baby stroller!!!

LiLo was out and about in Bev Hills Saturday, along with 8-month-old Luai and hubby Bader Shammas, and a few other family members.

They hit up an L.A. institution -- La Scala -- for a little lunch. The restaurant was super famous back in the day, and speaking of back in the day ... it's amazing how Lindsay has reset her life from the early days of TMZ.

She's a mom and a wife and seems serene and happy. She's also acting again, with some success.

Later that day, Lindsay and Bader hit up another celeb hotspot ... Giorgio Baldi for some grub.

That's a nice Saturday, for sure.

Jason Tartick Zips Lips on Kat Stickler Rumors ... Keepin' Love Life Private

Keeping Things Private
TMZ.com

Jason Tartick says he's trying to keep his love life more private these days ... and he's sticking to that resolution so far -- 'cause he's dodgin' Kat Stickler questions.

We spoke with the financial guru/television personality Wednesday in NYC, asking him about all the online buzz about his entanglement with social media star Stickler ... but JT's not kissin' and tellin' -- if he's kissin' Kat at all, that is!!!

Instead of addressing the rumors head-on, Tartick decided to plug his podcast "Trading Secrets" ... saying she's a guest on an upcoming episode. That did nothing to cool rumors.

Jason says he's trying to keep his romantic life closer to the vest these days, pretty much leaving all the Kat Stickler talk at that.

Rumors began to catch heat after gossip site DeuxMoi shared an anonymous tip about the two going out for some grub. Of course, KS apparently recorded a podcast episode with Tartick -- so maybe it was just a business dinner? Nah.

Either way ... it seems Jason's ready to move on in the dating world -- or, at least he seems to be thinking about it based on our convo with him. Pretty big news given he and his ex-fiancée Kaitlyn Bristowe broke things off just seven months ago.

The pair broke their news to their thousands of followers in an IG post ... saying they respected each other, wanted to remain friends, and would co-parent their two dogs together.

BTW ... Jason's also got advice for all the influencers who might be affected by TikTok possibly getting banned in the U.S. -- check out the vid for that helpful hint.

SHAKIRA "LE DIMOS PRIORIDAD A LA CARRERA DE ÉL"

Los fans de Shakira han estado esperando casi una década para un nuevo álbum, y su ex -Gerard Piqué- puede tener la culpa, al menos según la propia Shakira.

La cantante y compositora apareció en el Sunday Times para dar una entrevista que se publicó el sábado, donde reveló que pausó su carrera para apoyar a Gerard en sus días como jugador en Barcelona.

Shakira explicó que hizo un montón de sacrificios en nombre del amor -cosa que sabemos que no duró- decidiendo cuidar de los niños en lugar de centrarse en su música.

Por supuesto, Gerard y Shakira rompieron durante el verano de 2022, con rumores de infidelidad arremolinándose cuando la pareja tomó caminos separados.

El camino de Shakira la ha llevado fuera de España y hasta Miami, donde se ha hecho amiga de David Beckham, a quien dijo que conocía antes de empezar a salir con Gerard, cuando David jugaba para el rival del Barcelona, el Real Madrid.

La estrella colombiana dijo que está en contacto constante con Victoria Beckham, y espera llevar a su hijo Milan a un partido de fútbol en Miami, dejando al querido papá totalmente fuera de la ecuación.

Shakira se mantuvo por encima de todo conflicto con Piqué durante la entrevista, aunque admitió que parecía justicia divina que uno de sus viejos rivales de fútbol, Sergio Ramos, la presentara para el Grammy Latino.

Shakira también habló de su caso de fraude fiscal, aunque no dijo nada acerca de su falta de material musical. Después de todo es cantante y lo único que ha lanzado los últimos años es "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran", clara referencia a su terminada relación.

En cualquier caso, parece que Shakira finalmente se ha centrado en sí misma de nuevo y Gerard mejor que esté atento a los fans que podrían haber querido un álbum un poco antes.

Shakira Gerard's Career Came First ... Sacrificed For Love

Shakira fans have been waiting almost a decade for a new album ... and her ex Gerard Piqué may be to blame -- at least, according to Shakira herself that is.

The singer-songwriter sat down with the Sunday Times for an interview published Saturday ... where she revealed she actually put her career on pause to support Gerard turning his playing days in Barcelona.

Shakira explained she made a lot of sacrifices in the name of love -- one we know didn't last -- deciding to take care of the kids rather than focusing on her music.

Of course, Gerard and Shakira broke up during the summer of 2022, with rumors of infidelity swirling as the pair went their separate ways.

GOIN' DOWN
X / @HelianHdz

Shakira's path has taken her out of Spain and down to Miami where she's made fast friends with David Beckham -- who she said she knew back before she started dating Gerard, when DB played for Barcelona's rival, Real Madrid.

The Colombian star said she's in constant contact with Victoria Beckham ... and she's hoping to take her son Milan to a soccer match down in Miami -- leaving dear old dad totally out of the equation.

Shakira stayed above the whole Piqué fray during the interview BTW -- though she did admit it seemed like cosmic justice that one of his old soccer rivals Sergio Ramos presented her with a Latin Grammy.

11/20/23
SHAKIRA IN COURT
AP

She also skipped over talking about her tax fraud case -- instead choosing to focus on her first studio album in seven years, "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" which translates to "Women No Longer Cry" ... bit of a wink and a nudge to a certain ex?

In any case, seems Shakira's finally focused on herself again ... and Gerard better be on the lookout for bitter fans who might've wanted an album a bit sooner.
