On Sunday, May 7, the Miami Grand Prix 2023 witnessed an unexpected interaction between Tom Cruise and Shakira. The two celebrities were seen getting comfortable, smiling, and posing together, leading many fans to speculate that they might be romantically involved.
However, according to a tipster who spoke to Us Weekly, the rumors of a budding romance between the two are baseless. The source stated that Shakira had a great time hanging out with Tom at the F1 event but has no interest in dating him.
“He was really nice, and she enjoyed his company, but she isn’t focused on dating him or anybody else at the moment. She has a lot on her plate and is focused on her kids and career for now,” the insider revealed.
The TQG singer was reportedly surprised by the rumors that the megastar is courting her. “But it’s just not true,” the source added. “She had a fun time when they chatted, but that’s as far as things have gone.”
Shakira, 46, recently separated from her longtime partner, Gerard Piqué, after more than a decade together. The former couple released a joint statement in June 2022, announcing their decision to part ways.
“We regret to confirm that we are separating,” the statement read. “For the well-being of our children, who are our highest priority, we ask that you respect their privacy.”
It’s not the first time Tom Cruise has been at the center of dating rumors. The Mission Impossible star has been linked to several high-profile women in the past, including Penelope Cruz, Katie Holmes, and Sofia Vergara.
Despite the gossip surrounding their interaction, it seems that Tom Cruise and Shakira’s relationship is strictly platonic. Fans can continue to admire them for their individual talents and accomplishments without reading too much into their chance encounter at the Miami Grand Prix.
