Shakira leaves Lewis Hamilton for Jimmy Butler
In recent weeks, the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer has been linked to Hamilton. It seems that she is heading in a different direction. Shakira and her ex-partner, Gerard Piqué, split in June 2022 after 11 years together.
They are parents to two sons: Milan, 10, and Sasha, 8. The former power couple’s breakup was the source of a major scandal. The soccer icon reportedly cheated with Clara Chia Marti
The Shakira and Butler rumors started gaining steam earlier this week after sources claimed that they were spending time together. A source is now confirming what is happening between the two celebrities.
An insider told Us Weekly: “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.”
Butler is 33, and the two lovebirds have no issue with the age difference. The new couple was spotted at Wimbledon, but the two stars were not together. Moreover, the Miami Heat player is now in China, and the artist is still in England. There are photos of her in a studio on social media.
Shakira and Butler take romance to London
However, they were at a restaurant together in London this week. A source told E! News: “The pair were spotted looking cozy inside the restaurant, as they ordered at one of London’s most popular celebrity restaurants.”
Representatives for the two personalities are not answering calls about the alleged romance. However, supporters say the mother of two deserves to be happy after all that she went through.
Shakira has been able to use her personal drama to advance her career. Her most recent hits songs all talk about her past relationship with Piqué in some fashion.
As for Butler, he hopes to get close to the NBA title next season after losing in June. In clear terms, the two famous faces are looking for a decent rebound.
Can they pull this off?
