“Hips Don’t Lie”. Iconic Colombian singer Shakira is making headlines, not because of her sensational music, but due to her surprising love interests. A year ago, Shakira announced that she and her then-husband and professional footballer Gerard Pique are calling it quits after 11 years of marriage. Well, we all remember how sour that relationship ended. But, just recently, Shakira seems to be very happy. The reason? Two legendary athletes from different sports – NBA’s Jimmy Butler and F1’s Lewis Hamilton. With the pictures circulating on the internet about the star musician and dating rumors with Butler and Hamilton, who could Shakira be really dating?
Jimmy Butler and Shakira reportedly had a romantic dinner together in London; sparking dating rumors even more
Last Wednesday night, Miami Heat superstar Jimmy Butler and Colombian singer Shakira were both spotted arriving at the Novikov Restaurant & Bar in London. The two celebrities arrived at the location separately and stayed for a couple of hours. They also left in separate cars. Pictures of Jimmy and Shakira were captured on that same night, which fueled the ongoing rumor that they are actually dating.

A few weeks ago, Shakira would be spotted watching and cheering for Jimmy Butler during the 2023 NBA Playoffs. The 46-year-old celebrity caught the eyes of paparazzi as she sits courtside alongside his two sons.

According to US Weekly, the two have been going out on several dates. A source has told the publication that Butler and Shakira are indeed happy with each other and do not care about the huge age gap between them.
“They have been out a few times, but things are very new and it’s too early to tell if there’s long-term potential there,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly. The source continued, “Jimmy makes Shakira smile, and she feels happy spending time with him.”
Aside from Jimmy Butler, Shakira is also linked to another sports star – Lewis Hamilton
Shakira’s love life is at its all-time peak since his divorce from football star Gerard Pique in 2022. There have been numerous rumors that Shakira is being linked to the British F1 racing champion, Lewis Hamilton.

Shakira was also seen in Wimbledon to specifically witness Lewis’ hit the tracks for the British Grand Prix. Right after the event, the two were seen together at an exclusive party. According to The Sun, Shakira and Lewis Hamilton spent the night partying with each other in a “wild night out” at the Tape London in London, along with a few others. Meanwhile, Hamilton finished 3rd in the tournament. Although their relationship is pretty questionable at the moment, they have been denying the rumors surrounding their dating status.

So, who is Shakira really dating right now?
Well, the Miami Heat forward could be the one heating it up (pun intended) for the 46-year-old pop star. The age gap isn’t an issue and “doesn’t bother” both of them, as per reports. Moreover, Jimmy makes Shakira smile and we could probably say the same vice versa. Both Butler and Shakira haven’t spoken about this speculation yet, but it’s as obvious as daylight that they are getting into an intimate relationship.
Jimmy Butler and Shakira are currently dating, per @usweekly.
