![Shakira sparks new romance rumors as she enjoys a Miami boat trip with F1 ace Lewis Hamilton hours after the pair crossed paths at a fancy restaurant. The newly single and highly eligible bachelorette was picked up by the British-born racing star at the back of her own $20 million Miami Beach mansion on Wednesday. She was seen accepting Hamilton's offer of a hand, with the decorated Mercedes driver promptly got to his feet as she climbed aboard. They were accompanied on the cruise by heavily tattooed American fencer Miles Chamley-Watson, one of Hamilton's closest friends. It came the day after the two had crossed paths as Shakira made her way into Miami's upscale Cipriani restaurant, where Hamilton was dining out with pals on Tuesday evening. Speculation is now mounting around a potential new love match for the 46-year-old pop diva, who was also linked to Tom Cruise earlier this week amid reports the actor was "extremely interested" in pursuing her after they chatted at the Miami Grand Prix last weekend. But it seems she may be more interested in Hamilton, who competed in the flashy event. On Wednesday, she showed off her toned legs and torso in a flirty fringed lilac bikini top and matching shorts, wearing her famous long wavy hair loose over her shoulders. She was all smiles as she boarded the vessel which pulled up on Biscayne Bay behind her lavish waterfront pad. The 'Hips Don't Lie' songstress returned later on looking relaxed and went barefoot as she climbed back onto her personal dock. Shakira is newly single after splitting from soccer star Gerard Pique after 12 years. The former couple share two children, Sasha, 8, and Milan, 10. 10 May 2023 Pictured: Shakira and Lewis Hamilton.

It’s been three months since Shakira and Gerard Pique were seen together in public, and it turns out there might be a reason for their low-key behavior. The longtime couple, who started dating in 2011, have reportedly split, according to Spanish website Cotilleo. Various Spanish and Colombian outlets have speculated about a possible split for a few days now, but Cotilleo claims to have confirmed that the rumors are the real deal from a source close to the duo. However, Shakira and Gerard have yet to make a statement of their own. HollywoodLife.com has reached out to Shak’s rep for comment.
Shakira was reportedly the one to pull the plug on the relationship and has moved out of the home the pair share together in Barcelona. It’s unclear where she is living now, or what is going on with the couple’s two kids, Milan, 4, and Sasha, 2. However, in November, Shakira will embark on a tour that will last until February, while Gerard is busy with his career as a soccer player on Spain’s team vying for the 2018 World Cup.
News of a split between Shakira and Gerard is quite devastating, especially since, in April, she just released a song about how in love with him she is. In “Me Enamore,” Shak recounts how she met the father of her children, and recalls how she felt while falling in love with him. “With you I would have ten children,” she sings on the track. Sadly, if this shocking new report is true, it seems like that will no longer be the case.
