Maluma’s New Love Natalia Barulich — 5 Things You Need to Know

Maluma burst a few bubbles after paparazzi photos of him cuddling with Natalia Barulich while on vacation in Portofino, Italy, went viral last week. The Colombian singer, 23, held her hand as they walked around the city. The duo were also pictured sharing a sweet kiss and a romantic boat ride.

Here’s what you should know about the Cuban-Croatian beauty, 25, who has made the “Corazón” singer’s heart beat a little faster.

1. She’s coy. After the Italy pics generated a New Hot Couple alert in the media, Barulich posted another photo from Portofino on Jan. 18. “Oh, my pistachio ice cream,” her winking caption reads. She also attended the Dolce & Gabbana fashion show in Milan Jan. 13, where her beau performed.

2. She was just a friend. The two met in 2017 when she was featured in the music video for Maluma’s hit “Felices los 4.” Slowly a friendship grew into a relationship, according to a source close to the couple, and they have been inseparable for months. In September 2017, Barulich shared this snippet of their sexy production, during which they share a steamy shower. “Over 1 billion views. Thank you for having me in this beautiful video @Maluma,” she wrote, adding a red rose emoji.
