The 47-year-old pop star, who has 299 million followers on social media, shared Two snapshots of her working with music producer AC, also known as Alexander Castillo.
Shakira (née Ripoli) reportedly met Castillo in 2017, the same year she earned a Latin Grammy nomination for record of the year for producing Ricky Martin’s song Vente Pa’ Ca.
Last year, the three-time Grammy winner was in a recording studio in London with Alex, Dave Clauss and Ruffsound, aka Marc Vincent.
And in 2021, Castillo had ‘An incredible week’ working with Shakira and Vincent in a recording studio in Barcelona, but it’s unclear whether any actual songs emerged from their work.

“I like men. That’s the problem. I shouldn’t like them after everything that’s happened to me, but imagine how much I like the men that I still like,” the Última singer explained in her cover story.
‘I think my children (Milan Piqué, 11, and Sasha Piqué, nine) would have to be very prepared for that, and their emotional and psychological well-being is the priority.’
