Details on Shakira's Budding Romance with Lewis Hamilton After Split from Gerard Pique

News outlets are reporting that Shakira and Lewis Hamilton are in the early stages of a romantic relationship. The couple has been spotted together a few times in 2023, leading many fans to suspect they are dating. This comes one year after Shakira announced her split from ex-boyfriend Gerard Piqué, with whom she was in a 12-year relationship. The former couple has two sons, Milan and Sasha. Here's what we know so far about Shakira's new romance:

In May 2023, Shakira and Lewis were seen on a boat in Miami with some friends after the Grand Prix, sparking rumors of a relationship. A few weeks later, Shakira showed up to support Lewis in the F1 Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona, where he drove for Mercedes.

After the event, Shakira and Lewis went out to dinner with some friends, including Fai Khadra, Daniel Caesar, and Mustafa. Mustafa shared a photo on his Instagram Story, showing Lewis sitting next to Shakira with his arm around her waist.

A source confirmed to People on June 8 that Shakira and Lewis were in the early stages of a romance, describing their behavior as "fun and flirty." Reps for the couple did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Life & Style.

Shakira was also seen chatting with Tom Cruise during the Miami F1 Grand Prix, leading to rumors of a relationship between the two. However, a source told Us Weekly that Shakira had no interest in dating Tom and was focused on her children and career.

Shakira and Gerard announced their split in June 2022, stating that they were separating for the well-being of their children and requesting privacy. The couple, who met during the filming of a music video for the World Cup in 2010, confirmed their relationship in 2011 and had two children together.

Following the split, rumors circulated that Gerard had cheated on Shakira. While she did not address any affairs directly, she did open up in a September 2022 interview with Elle, describing the breakup as the "most difficult" and "darkest hours" of her life. She talked about trying to protect her children from the situation, but acknowledged that they may hear things from friends or online.
