Shakira and Lewis Hamilton spark romance rumors

Shakira and British race car driver, Lewis Hamilton, have been ‘spending time together’ nearly one month after initially sparking romance rumors, reported People on Thursday.

The Hips Don’t Lie hitmaker, 46, was recently seen cozying up next to Hamilton, 38, this past weekend at a bustling restaurant after watching him compete in the F1 Grand Prix in Spain.

A source close to the pair told the entertainment outlet that, ‘They’re spending time together and in the ‘getting to know you’ stage,’ while adding, ‘It’s fun and flirty.’

Last month in May, the mother of two and F1 driver were first seen together after she attended the star-studded 2023 Miami Grand Prix.

They were spotted boarding a yacht for a ride with pals outside of her new $20 million waterfront mansion in Florida at the time.

While stepping into the boat that was floating on the water, Lewis was a gentleman and held out his hand towards the singer to help her stay balanced, which she accepted.

Both Shakira and the driver were accompanied by American fencer, Miles Chamley-Watson, who is one of Hamilton’s closest friends.

Shortly before the yacht day under the sun, the She Wolf songstress crossed paths with Lewis at Miami’s Cipriani restaurant. Although the two didn’t dine together, he sent a smile in her direction as she passed his table.

Shakira was later spotted attending the F1 Grand Prix of Spain at Circuit de Barcelona-Cataluny over this past weekend on June 4, and watched Hamilton compete from the stands.

The budding romance with the British race car driver comes after Shakira officially split from soccer player and longtime partner, Gerard Pique, last year in June 2022. The former couple share sons Milan, 10, and Sasha, eight.
