Telenovela heartthrob Osvaldo Ríos, who was Shakira’s partner, presumed to be in excellent physical condition at 60, even compared to Gerard Piqué
Few remember that in the nineties Osvaldo Ríos and Shakira had a torrid, fleeting and controversial romance . She was starting her career in music and he was already a well-known soap opera actor. In fact, he was one of the most sought-after gallants on the small screen. However, he decided to move away from the melodramas and the middle of the show.
More not of social networks, and now at 60 years old Shakira’s ex-boyfriend, Osvaldo Ríos claims to be more attractive than Gerard Piqué in his personal accounts. The Colombian actor does not hesitate to share with his loyal followers images where he appears scantily clad and showing his exercise routine. Of course, he does not miss the opportunity to boast that despite exceeding six decades of life, he is in his best moment.
In a post, the protagonist of successful soap operas like "La Viuda de Blanco" appears doing an exercise routine, making it clear that he is trying to stay in shape. "Sixty and counting … And we continue" was the message placed in the image that in a matter of minutes accumulated more than a thousand likes, as well as thousands of comments where the soap opera heartthrob was flattered.
"Nice", "beautiful heart" "nice day" and "you are very sensual" were some of the comments of his followers. It should be remembered that Ríos was a partner of the Girl Like Me interpreter, in what was considered the most controversial courtship in Colombia, since the soap opera heartthrob was seventeen years older than the Barranquilla-born woman, apart from having a long history of conquests, complaints of alleged mistreatment and a brief stay in jail.
However, his past was not reason enough for Shakira to walk with him on red carpets, performances and awards, such as the 1997 Billboard, or for him to dedicate the album Where are the thieves ?.
To this day Shakira has not spoken about that relationship, and for his part Osvaldo Ríos commented in an interview with CNN: "I behaved with her like a prince, I feel for her what all Latin Americans do, a great pride."
