“I don’t want to try any ‘white’ anymore”: Shakira Seemingly Reveals Why She Chose Lewis Hamilton Over Tom Cruise After Being Betrayed by Gerard Pique
Shakira and former Barcelona football player Gerard Pique separated in 2022, but the Colombian singer has managed to stay in the public eye by continuing to release music about their relationship and denying rumors that she had relationships with Tom Cruise and Lewis Hamilton.
After the separation was announced, Shakira decided to relocate to Miami with her two sons, Sasha and Milan. Additionally, Gerard Pique made his relationship with Clara Chia Marti official on Instagram, and for doing so, he faced a lot of criticism. At the Summerfest Cerdanya festival in Catalonia, the couple was photographed cuddling. As a result of fans spotting them together and pointing out that the singer chose Hamilton over Cruise, Shakira and Lewis Hamilton are currently the talk of the town.
Shakira and Lewis Hamilton are spending time together
Introduced by a mutual friend, at the Barcelona Grand Prix in Spain, the Columbian singer Shakira and F1 racer Lewis Hamilton were spotted having dinner together and in a post shared by a friend, Hamilton’s hand was resting on the singer’s waist affectionately.
Sources shared that it might be not clear if they are dating or not, but the two of them are surely spending time together and trying to get to know each other. They have been spotted having dinner at various locations, which seemingly confirms that they are trying to get to know each other. Shakira recently spoke to the Mexican news outlet Milenio, where she said that she was rediscovering the material she is made of and also wanting to find that. The source further revealed that the duo’s vibe is fun and flirty and they enjoy each other’s company.
Hamilton has been linked to several high-profile women, including Rita Ora and Nicki Minaj, since his 2015 split from longtime girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger. Shakira and Gerard Pique ended their relationship after almost 11 years of being together.
Did Shakira choose Lewis Hamilton over Tom Cruise?
Journalist Jordi Martin, who has maintained good relations with the singer over the years, appeared on a TV show, Amor y Fuego, where he revealed that there is a possibility of the singer and the F1 driver dating each other. He added that the duo have been spotted on various occasions in recent times and pointed out that Shakira attended Grand Prix races to watch Hamilton compete and there were kisses and cuddles after the races.
Martin also went on to reveal that a source close to the singer has alleged that she wants to date a ‘dark-skinned guy’ and does not want to try any ‘white’ anymore. He noted that Shakira and Hamilton want to take their relationship slowly and do not wish to rush into things but the inner circle already knows.
He said, “I have people close to Shakira who have been meeting with her this week, and she has told them that she is excited and happy.” These revelations also point to why the singer ‘friend zoned’ actor Tom Cruise, who was allegedly very much interested in pursuing the singer and seeing how they might be. According to reports, she politely declined Cruise’s desire as she was not interested in dating him, and with news of Hamilton and her dating, sources say, “It was a huge dent to Tom’s ego. It stung all the more because he considers Lewis a buddy.”
Shakira reveals jolting details of her relationship with ex-Gerard Piqué
EL Pais went ahead to publish some of the statements said by the singer during her possible tax fraud case in which she candidly spoke about how she and her ex-boyfriend’s relationship was far from perfect. She said, “Our professional lives didn’t match, it was like mixing water and oil. I was a globetrotter, and he had to stick to a schedule. We didn’t understand each other very well, and I hope this doesn’t leak to the press.”
The singer also recalled working 14 hours a day while pregnant while performing on stage with her trademark moves, which, in retrospect, she says now look ridiculous. At the first-ever Latin Women in Music gala, she recently accepted an award, the first Woman of the Year award from Billboard.
She said during her acceptance speech that she had realized that women are more independent than they are taught to be, braver than they believe they are, and stronger than they realize.
