Here’s the scoop on those rumors about Shakira and NBA star Jimmy Butler dating. Plus, the other famous men the “Out of Your League” singer has been linked to recently.
Shakira is an international singing sensation known all around the world for her music and incredible dance moves. She has also gone through a very public breakup with former soccer player Gerard Piqué.
Rumors swirled for a while that she had moved on with another star athlete. Here’s what we know about those rumors Shakira is dating Miami Heat shooting guard Jimmy Butler.
Fans of Shakira and Pique were shocked when it was announced they were splitting up in 2022. Another surprising detail came when it was alleged that the former footballer had cheated on his partner of 11 years.
Following their breakup, the”Waka Waka” artist relocated to Miami and has been seen out with some very famous men including A-list actor Tom Cruise and seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton.
But her appearance at an NBA game in South Beach sparked dating rumors with the Heat player.
Shakira was all smiles at the Kaseya Center when she shared a clip of herself during a playoff game against the Boston Celtics with the caption “Let’s go Heat!”
Days later, she took to her Instagram Stories with a tribute to the team writing, “This is my acrostic for today: HEROIC, EXTRAORDINARY, AWESOME, TEAM.” She made the first letter of every word a different color to create an acrostic for the word “HEAT.”
Moreover, Butler, who follows Shakira on Instagram and vice-versa, liked a post of her playing the guitar to “Acrostico.”
But before everyone jumps to conclusions, there’s no evidence that Shakira and Butler are or have ever dated. She was likely just showing her support for the team, as one of her sons is a big fan of Jimmy Buckets. So it’s possible that he asked his mom to take him to a game so he can see one of his favorite players in action.
In 2024, Shakira reportedly began dating Emily in Paris star Lucien Laviscount. However, the recording artist and British actor have yet to confirm their relationship.
As for the other stars Shakira has been linked to, there’s nothing going on between her and Cruise. They were simply just hanging out at the F1 Miami Grand Prix, which they were invited to by their famous mutual friend Hamilton. The F1 driver and Shakira are close pals and have known each other for years.
