Shakira And NBA Star Jimmy Butler Set Off Dating Rumors After Enjoying Dinner Together

Could Shakira and NBA star Jimmy Butler be dating? Well, rumor has it that they just might be. After being spotted having dinner together on Wednesday night, many are speculating that the two might be an item.

According to an eyewitness, the "Hips Don't Lie" singer was spotted with the Miami Heat basketball player in London. It was said that she arrived at Novikov Restaurant & Bar a little past 10 p.m., which was around the same time Jimmy arrived.

The eyewitness also said the two seemingly tried to keep a low profile. But apparently, they left the restaurant around the same time as well at 1:30 a.m., just minutes apart.

The eyewitness also claimed Jimmy's security helped Shakira get into her "chauffeur-driven car from the fire exit of the restaurant." Seems a bit sneaky, doesn't it?

According to the witness, the two looked very “cozy” together on that evening. They ate sushi and sipped on cocktails together into the early morning hours.

These rumors come just a couple months after people speculated that Shakira was dating Tom Cruise. They both attended the 2023 Miami Grand Prix and were said to be seen having a great time interacting with each other.

Reports also sparked last month that Shakira and Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton were dating. A source close to the two shared at the time, “They’re spending time together and in the ‘getting to know you’ stage. It’s fun and flirty.”

It appears that Shakira and Jimmy followed each other on Instagram after she attended a game in June. She watched his team go up against the Denver Nuggets in the 2023 NBA Finals.

Neither party has responded to requests for comments. All in all, it appears the 46-year-old singer is just having fun after her split from longtime boyfriend Gerard Piqué and possibly weighing all her options.
