Shakira and Manuel Garcia-rulfo Leave Sunset Tower Hotel Together
Shakira and manuel garcia-rulfo were spotted leaving the Sunset Tower Hotel together in Los Angeles this week, a sighting that quickly turned into relationship speculation. The 45-year-old singer was on a break from her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour when the photos surfaced.
The images were shared by DeuxMoi, adding a public-visibility layer to what had already become a closely watched offstage moment. Shakira had just played two shows in Los Angeles last week to launch the new leg of the tour, so the hotel exit landed right in the middle of a city stop with attention already on her schedule.

The pairing drew notice because both names carry their own tabloid gravity. Shakira had recently said, “I’m just thinking of raising my kids. I don’t see that for now. Maybe when they’re older,” after previously splitting from Gerard Pique, the father of her two children.
That quote sets the frame for why the Los Angeles sighting traveled fast: it came after she had publicly described her relationship outlook as centered on parenting, not on a new romance. She also said, “Through those challenging moments, I discovered how resilient we all are.”
Garcia-Rulfo and Audrey McGraw
Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, best known for The Lincoln Lawyer and for films including Jurassic World Rebirth and A Man Called Otto, had also been linked to Audrey McGraw before the hotel photos. Their 2024 PDA sighting and an earlier split reported after they unfollowed each other on Instagram gave the Los Angeles appearance a second layer of curiosity.
Audrey McGraw is the daughter of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, which kept Garcia-Rulfo’s personal life in entertainment circulation even before the Shakira photos arrived. The overlap between his reported breakup and Shakira’s tour break is what made this week’s sighting travel beyond a routine celebrity-night-out story.
Two shows, one break
Shakira’s two Los Angeles shows last week put her back in front of an audience before the tour paused again, and that timing matters more than any hotel-lobby guesswork. For readers tracking her next move, the only hard fact is that the photos came during a break from the tour, not during a run of performances.
For now, the story sits on the same facts that made it move in the first place: a public hotel exit, a tour pause, and two entertainers with recent relationship histories. That is enough to spark speculation, but not enough to turn a sighting into a status update.
