"Shakira had a great time dating Tom in F1," one of the sources told the Magazine.
Shakira's new life in Miami, after moving from Barcelona, has the eyes of the press and her followers on her. Rumors of a new love in her life have been constant, so much so that she has been directly linked to internationally recognized personalities such as Hollywood actor Tom Cruise and Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton. About Cruise, the protagonist of the Mission Impossible saga, it was said that he was very interested in Barranquilla, however, a close friend of the singer explained what is behind that relationship.
“When friends are in Miami, they get together. The press wants to create a romance, but she has known Tom for a long time. She is focused on her family, ” commented, Ana Lourdes Martínez, a friend of the singer's family, before Page Six. “She doesn't want to embarrass or upset him, but there's no attraction or romance on her part, she was just being friendly. She is flattered, but not interested, ”commented another source familiar with the matter before the international information portal The Mirror.
"Shakira never really left Miami. She had the house and kept in touch. Everyone is supporting her. She is like family to us," added another friend of the singer, Emilio Estefan.
It is worth remembering that it was weeks ago when a person revealed to the American media Page Six that Tom Cruise was "extremely interested in her." “There is chemistry. Shakira needs a soft pillow to fall on, and that could be Tom," said the source who spoke to the American newspaper.
It was at the beginning of May when images of the Colombian sharing with Cruise in the Miami Formula 1 Grand Prix were released. Other international entertainment figures such as Rauw Alejandro and J Balvin came to that sporting event. According to The Mirror, Tom Cruise would have made his interaction with the singer uncomfortable, because he would not have understood, from the outset, the message that the Colombian wanted to give him: she only wanted her friendship and would only be being nice to him. Shakira's interests say that Portal was never romantic towards the actor.
"Shakira had a great time dating Tom in F1, but she has no interest in dating him. Tom was really nice and she enjoyed his company, but she is not focused on dating him or anyone else Right now. Shakira has seen the rumors online that Tom has been courting her, and how fans are weighing in with their opinions, but she thinks it's funny because it's just not true. She had a lot of fun when they chatted, but that's as far as things have gone,” a source told The Magazine.
It is important to remember that Shakira and her ex-husband Gerard Piqué announced their separation publicly in June 2022. “We regret to confirm that we are separating. For the well-being of our children, who are our highest priority, we ask for respect for privacy. Thank you for your understanding," both communicated through a public letter.
At the beginning of April, the Colombian singer said goodbye to Barcelona through her social networks, after making the decision to move with her two children, Milan and Sasha, to Miami, in the United States. Although she was grateful to Spain and excited about her new life, a few days later she dedicated a forceful message to the press. She asked the journalists to respect her children, two minors. She denounced that communicators had been questioning them and even recklessly following them.
“I trust that journalists and photographers are sensitive to the situation Milan and Sasha are facing and can behave in the most humane way possible with them, taking into account that it is about the health and physical and emotional integrity of two children under 8. and 10 years old who just want to be able to go out and go to school feeling safe and having the peace of mind of not being persecuted or subjected to the constant scrutiny of the cameras," the singer commented on her social networks.
