During a recent video interview with the Spanish program La Revuelta, Colombian superstar Shakira found herself in an unexpectedly funny situation that quickly took over social media. While speaking from Boston about her upcoming tour and new projects, two persistent phone calls interrupted the flow of the conversation, forcing the Barranquilla-born singer to pause the broadcast. What viewers didn't expect was the sight of her personal assistant, Diana, crawling on all fours behind the camera in a desperate attempt to stay out of the frame. The effort proved futile: host David Broncano and the audience watched her pass by, unable to contain their laughter.
More Than an Assistant, a Partner
Rather than getting annoyed, Shakira affectionately hugged Diana and praised her as a key figure in her daily life. The singer of Antología explained that Diana always protects her time to ensure nothing interferes with her professional commitments. This closeness sparked plenty of commentary online, with many users pointing out the striking physical resemblance between the two women, joking that they look like sisters. The complicity they project in front of cameras shows why Diana has become Shakira's unconditional support in the United States, managing her schedule with such dedication that she occasionally stars in moments of involuntary comedy for millions of viewers.
This viral moment also reminded fans of the loyalty within Shakira's inner circle. While some initially speculated whether the assistant was Lily Melgar—the figure to whom Shakira dedicated a song—the incident confirmed that Diana has been working side-by-side with the artist for a long time. Her absolute priority is the star's tranquility, even when that involves maneuvers worthy of a spy movie to avoid distractions during an interview. The event not only generated a peak in viewership and positive comments but also made clear that, even in the most unexpected technical moments, Diana remains a fundamental and highly committed piece of Shakira's team.
