“Can’t wait,” Apl.de.ap said.

KC Concepcion and Apl.de.ap have been romantically linked with each other since 2019. However, the two neither confirmed nor denied the status of their relationship.

In September, KC Concepcion received one of the most astonishing surprises after “Hips Don’t Lie” singer Shakira sent her a video greeting.

“Hey, KC. A little birdie told me that you like my music. Thank you so much. I wanted to say hi and congratulate you on your new cooking show. I hope it goes really well. I wish you the best of luck,” Shakira said.

In her Instagram post, KC revealed it was Black Eyed Peas’ apl.de.ap, who was behind the surprise video. She also thanked Shakira for her encouragement.
