Shakira and Tom Cruise created huge expectations after they appeared together at the Formula 1 Grand Prix of Miami a few days ago.
There has been a lot of speculation about their bond, including that they supposedly have a friendship that “goes way back, for years.” It is even said that they could be dating. However, the alleged reason why the Hollywood starlet and the singer met on May 7 has just come to light.
What’s going on between Shakira and Tom Cruise?
On May 12, TMZ published a report in which it clarified, first of all, that “Shakira and Tom Cruise are not a couple” and that things between them “never worked out that way.”
Citing “close sources” of the “Acrostic” singer, a song dedicated to her children Milan and Sasha, the paper reports that “she is very single”.
It is explained that, supposedly, the reason the superstars have coincided on motorsport day is only because they “share a famous friend”.
“Informants tell us that both Tom and Shakira were invited to the event by Mercedes team driver Lewis Hamilton (…) That’s why they were together several times during the race,” they point out.
Regarding the fact that Cruise reportedly sent the singer-songwriter flowers after they met because “he was so smitten,” the outlet revealed that his source didn’t know if that was true or not, “but (the person) said that Shakira is simply not interested in dating right now,” they said.
After Page Six reported that the ‘Top Gun’ star would have romantic intentions with the Colombian, Us Weekly warned that the feeling would not be reciprocated.
“Shakira had a great time with Tom at F1, but she is not interested in dating him” an insider shared.
“He was very nice and enjoyed his company, but right now she’s not focused on meeting him or anyone else. She has a lot going on and is focused on her kids and her career at the moment,” he added.
The source also claimed that the songwriter allegedly saw the news that Cruise “wanted her” and just he reacted humorously.
“(She’s seen the internet rumors that Tom is dating her and how fans come up with opinions that she thinks are hilarious because they’re just it’s not true“, pointed out.
Is there a relationship between Shakira and Lewis Hamilton?
As for Shakira and Lewis Hamilton’s relationship, TMZ reports that a source assured them that “there’s nothing romantic there, it’s all friendly.”
The 38-year-old music star and pilot were spotted over the weekend sharing dinner at the upscale Cipriani restaurant in the so-called “Sun City,” according to Despierta América.
Three days later, they enjoyed a ride on a MasterCraft X24 model yacht, which costs more than $233,000, also in Florida Harbor.
Almost a year ago Shakira announced her split from Gerard Piqué and has since been romantically linked to several men, including her surf instructor Gorka Ezkurdia.
