In the U.S., Lucien landed a regular role in Fox’s horror comedy Scream Queens in 2015 and later starred in Sony Crackle’s crime comedy-drama Snatch in 2017 and 2018. He also had a role on The CW’s Katy Keene. However, Lucien is most recognized for playing Alfie on Netflix’s Emily in Paris, a role he started in 2021.

Are Lucien Laviscount and Shakira Dating?
Lucien and Shakira had undeniable chemistry in the “Puntería” music video, which was released on March 22, 2024. The video took place in a mystical world and saw the Colombian singer as a Cupid-like figure who shot an arrow at Lucien, a centaur, after he caught her eye. The arrow hit Lucien in the chest and he fell to the ground. However, in a later scene, Shakira tended to his wound and nursed him back to health as he fell in love with her. Another steamy scene showed the two getting intimate with each other and nearly sharing kisses.
Many fans speculated that Lucien and Shakira took their romance off camera when he joined her at her surprise Times Square performance in New York City on March 26, 2024, per TMZ. The pair reportedly then went to dinner at celebrity hot spot Carbone and appeared to be riding in the same SUV. They also coordinated in black outfits. However, Shakira and Lucien did not show any signs of PDA.

Neither Shakira nor Lucien have commented on the dating rumors. However, Lucien gushed about the pop star while speaking to Spanish outlet Despierta America at her Times Square show.
“Honestly, I think she is one of the most incredible women I have ever met in my life, so being able to work with her and see her receive all her flowers is very special,” he said.
An All-New Dinner Date
I sh*t you not. I had to research Laviscount before opening this Word document, and I’m not impressed. Another incredibly good-looking man, who’s an actor most known for his appearance in Netflix’s Emily in Paris – What’s wrong with writers, I ask?
The two were spotted, dressed head-to-toe in all-black, going on a dinner date at Carbone in New York City.
The dinner came to fruition following Shakira’s surprise performance of her new album in Times Square, as Lucien was on hand to “support” her – Yeah, right, buddy, we know your game.
It wasn’t the first time Lucien acted as a fan of Shakira; he was also in the Shakira, Cardi B – Punteria music video, which is currently trending on YouTube music. The 31-year-old can be seen – topless – embracing a large lotus flower with Shakira while also allowing her to wipe him clean of blood following an arrow to the heart… I have many questions, but that’s another story for another day.
Who Has Shakira Dated Since Her Split From Gerard Pique?

In 2023, she was rumored to have dated racecar driver Lewis Hamilton, actor Tom Cruise and basketball player Jimmy Butler.
