Some fans speculated that Vives was showing support for Piqué and Shakira’s alleged plan to buy a property in Chía, but the singer has now clarified that it was just a friendly gesture. In an interview with Colombian radio station La FM, Vives explained that he has known Piqué and Shakira for years and that he simply liked the photo because he thought it was nice. The singer also spoke about his upcoming album, which features collaborations with artists from all over Latin America. Carlos Vives’ explanation may have put an end to the latest internet rumor, but it also highlights how social media can create buzz and speculation around even a simple “like.” It’s a reminder that we should be careful not to jump to conclusions based on digital interactions. It’s also a testament to the enduring friendships that sometimes develop in the entertainment industry, reaching beyond borders and nationalities.
