Shakira caminando junto a Manuel García-Rulfo frente a un hotel de lujo en Los Ángeles, ambos vistiendo ropa casual elegante, ambiente nocturno con iluminación cálida
The name Manuel García-Rulfo became a global trending topic after the Mexican actor was photographed alongside Shakira outside an exclusive Los Angeles hotel on June 17, 2026.
The images, initially shared by the popular celebrity gossip account Deuxmoi and later picked up by various international media outlets, sparked speculation about a possible romance between the actor and the Colombian singer.
As of now, neither has made any official statements about the encounter, and social media users are divided between those expressing their hopes for the artist's happiness and those reminding followers that Shakira previously stated she wasn't seeking a partner.
Who is Deuxmoi? It's an influential anonymous Instagram account with millions of followers that publishes celebrity sightings and entertainment news. Its content often goes viral and is frequently cited by mainstream media outlets.
He grew up at La Cañada, a family ranch in Jalisco where his grandfather organized screenings of classic films. He studied Communication at the Universidad del Valle de Atemajac and later trained at the New York Film Academy.
Before becoming an actor, he dreamed of being a photographer for National Geographic. His breakthrough to international fame came with "The Lincoln Lawyer", where he plays defense attorney Mickey Haller.
Manuel García-Rulfo has participated in major film productions:
| Year | Production |
|---|---|
| 2016 | The Magnificent Seven |
| 2017 | Murder on the Orient Express |
| 2018 | Widows (Steve McQueen) |
| 2018 | Sicario: Day of the Soldado |
| 2019 | 6 Underground |
| 2022-present | The Lincoln Lawyer (Netflix) |
| 2024 | Pedro Páramo (Netflix) |
He also starred in "A Man Called Otto" alongside Tom Hanks and joined the Jurassic World Rebirth franchise.
The actor is the great-nephew of Juan Rulfo, author of "Pedro Páramo" and one of the most influential figures in Latin American literature. His grandfather was a cousin of the celebrated writer.
Who was Juan Rulfo? A Mexican writer (1917-1986) considered one of the most important Spanish-language authors of the 20th century. His novel "Pedro Páramo" (1955) is a masterpiece of magical realism and has influenced generations of writers worldwide, including Gabriel García Márquez.
Portraying the protagonist in the film adaptation of the novel was one of the most significant challenges of his career, he confessed in interviews. The work had always been part of his cultural identity.
García-Rulfo keeps a low profile on social media. In an interview with GQ, he acknowledged having deleted his Instagram account on two occasions and prefers sharing images of landscapes and animals rather than his personal life.
In October 2024, he told Hola! Magazine: "There's a lot of love in my life, thank God."
In 2023, he was romantically linked to Audrey McGraw, daughter of country music singers Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. The couple quietly separated in early 2026.
The Colombian singer has made clear in recent interviews with People magazine that her priorities are centered on her family and raising her children, Milan and Sasha. For now, there are no official confirmations that there is anything more than a friendship or casual encounter between the two artists.
