![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.

Shakira, 44, and Gerard Pique, 32, are savoring their holiday vacation time! The stunning couple were spotted frolicking on Miami Beach on Dec. 24 along with their adorable kids Milan, 6, and Sasha, 4, on Christmas Eve. The Colombian superstar was in full unwind mode as she was seen ditching her Nike sneakers to walk barefoot in the sand, and showing off her make-up free complexion. Shakira kept the rest of her look casual as she rocked a cropped legging, a white windbreaker jacket, and an Adidas baseball cap, throwing her highlighted locks into a practical ponytail. The singer also got some fitness in, taking a hot pink bike for a spin around the gorgeous oceanfront.
Her Spanish-born boyfriend, who is a professional soccer player for FC Barcelona, was definitely enjoying his time in the sun as he opted to go for a dip in the ocean. Forgetting his swim trunks at home, Gerard stripped right down to his dark gray Dolce & Gabanna boxers showing off his incredibly toned physique. With his six-pack of abs and shapely arms on full display, Gerard looked absolutely incredible as he dove into the water with their two sons! Later, he was seen throwing on his white t-shirt and sweats as he shared an intimate moment with Shakira, who he’s been dating since 2010. Gerard was seen gently stroking her face as they engaged in a conversation, and looked so in love as they chatted.
Their two kids seemingly had a blast as they splashed around and goofed off with each other in the water. We couldn’t get over how much Milan, sporting a sweet bowl cut, looked like his handsome dad. Later, the family — who resides in Miami — all jumped on their bikes for a ride around the beach!
“We try to do the best we can,” Shakira admitted of her family life to HELLO! magazine in 2017. “There’s a lot of love, that’s the foundation of any family. You have to take care of it and dedicate time. Family is the most important thing for me. The rest is secondary.”
The couple appear to be enjoying their time off with just over four weeks to go until Shakira co-headlines the Super Bowl Halftime show with Jennifer Lopez, 50, on Feb. 2 in Miami! “I’m so honored to be taking on one of the world’s biggest stages in the company of a fellow female artist to represent Latinos and Latinas from the U.S. and all over the world — and to top it off, on my birthday!” Shakira said on Nov. 2, referencing her upcoming 43rd birthday. “This is a true American dream and we are going to bring the show of a lifetime!” The two women will undoubtedly be on an intense rehearsal schedule in the new year, and we can’t wait to see the show they put on!
