A new love scandal is unfolding in the heat of the paparazzi summer, and the protagonists are none other than Latin pop queen Shakira and Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton. How amazing it sounds unbelievable, but it seems the two met over dinner in Miami while the English driver was there for the Grand Prix. Since then, they haven’t stopped dating.
“They’re still getting to know each other”
The news was confirmed by an unnamed source close to the two, who told “People” magazine: “It’s true, they’re spending time together and still getting to know each other. For them, it’s all Funny and carefree.” So far, none of their representatives have responded to persistent questions regarding this story, which has led many to speculate about their alleged flirtation.
But it was not just a chance meeting that fueled the gossip. Last week, Shakira returned to Barcelona, the city that was her home for 12 years during her relationship with Gerard Pique. And he has chosen an important date: the Spanish Grand Prix. After the race, the couple went out to dinner together, accompanied by Canadian singer Daniel Caesar, Fai Khadra (influencer, creative and Kylie Jenner’s ex) and Mustafa, singer and poet, also a naturalized Canadian. Simply Mustafa would have published a photo of the party in which Hamilton was shown sitting next to Shakira.
Shakira and Hamilton meet for the first time in Miami
The two first met during the Miami Grand Prix, after Shakira received Billboard’s Woman of the Year award at the opening of the “Latin Women in Music” gala. During his acceptance speech, the Colombian pop star also mentioned the end of his love story with Piqué, who is now living happily next door to Clara Chia Marti. “It’s been a seismic year of change in my life, where I’ve personally experienced what it means to be a woman,” she said. “I understood that we women are stronger than we thought, braver than we thought”.
The relationship between Shakira and Hamilton, always believing that it is, continues to surprise and fascinate, leaving everyone to wonder if it’s just a summer flirtation or something more. Stay tuned for more updates on this unlikely pairing who stole the summer show!
