In September 2009, Shakira and David Beckham met at a charity event organized in support of Children’s Hospital in Orange, California. At the time, they shared a photograph that remained as a memento of that charitable day.
Seventeen years later, their paths crossed again during the 2026 World Cup final. This time, they were photographed together in an interior area of the stadium, creating an image that quickly caught the attention of fans, who were quick to compare both photos and point out how time had passed for both of them.
