Shakira and Tom Cruise indeed share a link, but not the sort that has made them relationship headliners in recent times. Photos of the newly-divorced Shakira and movie legend hanging at the F1 Miami Grand Prix earlier this month have sparked dating rumors, with many fan theories about their supposed affair further blowing things up. Amid the rumors, several news outlets also reported confirmation from sources saying Tom had a thing for the songstress and planned to pursue her.
Why Shakira and Tom Cruise Attended The Florida Sporting Event
The latest reports on their relationship standing prove otherwise. According to TMZ, the relationship between the two Hollywood icons was never headed for romantic dimensions. Shakira’s sources confirmed the singer was still single and didn’t consider Tom a prospect. As for why they were together at the F1 Miami Grand Prix, the source clarified for good, saying they both attended the event only because a very famous mutual friend invited them individually.
They revealed the mutual friend as Team Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton, one of the biggest names in sports. Their support for Lewis connected them throughout the race, which was the one reason why they appeared to be each other’s dates for the sporting event.
This comes after an insider admitted Shakira was aware of the prevailing relationship rumors about her and Tom Cruise. The source revealed Shakira considered the rumors untrue and hilarious, adding that she had fun when they talked, but that was as far as it went. They also clarified that the crooner had no interest in having romantic relations with the actor.
Notably, Shakira and Tom Cruise share a strictly platonic relationship that goes way back, long before the speculations flared. In fact, reports show that Tom has been a pillar of support for Shakira through her divorce from soccer player Gerard Pique. Although nothing may be brewing in the romance department for Shakira at this time, there is no telling what lies in wait in the future, especially if the reports of Tom delivering her flowers holds water.
