But when it comes to Kendall Dogwood, Shakira just can’t seem to contain her attraction, especially once she learns the Skyhawks quarterback is equally interested in her.Considering the messy way in which her last relationship with an NFL player ended, Kendall is probably the last man Shakira should be checking for.
