Shakira, the internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter, is making headlines once again as rumors of her budding romance with British race track driver Lewis Hamilton continue to circulate. The news broke exclusively through PEOPLE Magazine, revealing that Shakira and Hamilton are in the early stages of dating and enjoying their time together. According to a source close to the couple, they are currently in the “getting to know you” phase, characterized by lightheartedness and flirtation. The speculations gained traction after Shakira’s recent appearance at the F1 Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona, where Hamilton competed and secured an impressive second place. It is reported that the two spent quality time together following the race, further fueling the rumors.
Their connection appears to extend beyond the racetrack, as they were seen sharing a delightful dinner and drinks in the company of friends, including Daniel Caesar, Fai Khadra, and Mustafa. A photo from the outing, shared on social media by one of the friends, captured Hamilton’s arm casually draped around Shakira’s waist, sparking even more interest in their alleged romance. This came after Shakira and Hamilton, along with their group of friends, enjoyed a relaxing boat outing in Miami following their attendance at the 2023 Grand Prix. If the rumors are indeed true, this would mark Shakira’s first public relationship since her breakup last year with Gerard Piqué, a retired soccer star.
