Singer Shakira and Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton are reportedly in the early stages of a romantic relationship, according to a source. The source close to both has described their relationship as “fun and flirty.”
“They’re spending time together and in the ‘getting to know you’ stage.” “It’s fun and flirty,” the close source says.
While representatives for Shakira and Hamilton have not yet commented on the matter, their recent public outings together have ignited speculation about their romantic involvement.
The rumors gained traction after Shakira, 46, attended the F1 Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona, where Hamilton, 38, competed for Mercedes and secured a second-place finish. Following the event, the two spent time together, joining a group of friends, including Daniel Caesar, Fai Khadra, and Mustafa, for dinner and drinks. A photo from the outing, shared on Mustafa’s Instagram Story, captured the group’s joyous moment, with Hamilton seen with his arm around Shakira’s waist as they enjoyed cocktails.
Adding to the speculation, Shakira and Hamilton were also seen together on a boat outing in Miami after the 2023 Grand Prix. These public appearances have piqued curiosity about the nature of their relationship. Notably, Shakira’s appearance at the Miami Grand Prix came shortly after she was honored with Billboard’s inaugural Woman of the Year award at the Latin Women in Music gala, where she seemed to allude to her separation from Gerard Piqué.
Speaking to the audience while accepting her award, she said “This has been a year of seismic change in my life where I’ve felt more than ever — and very personally — what it is to be a woman.”
“It’s been a year where I’ve realized we women are stronger than we think, braver than we believed, more independent than we were taught to be,” she continued.
“Because what woman hasn’t at some time in her life forgotten herself because she’s seeking the attention and love of someone else? It happened to me, more than once,” Shakira added.
Hamilton, too, has been linked to several notable figures since his split from Nicole Scherzinger in 2015. As fans and onlookers eagerly await further information, the budding connection between Shakira and Hamilton continues to captivate attention.
