Surprising celeb is ‘extremely’ interested in putting his hat in the ring to date newly single Shakira

Let’s be honest, dating a celebrity has to be pretty fun. Not only is the world watching your every move, but your options are either “normal people” who are fans of you, or maybe other celebrities you’re already a fan of. For Shakira, who recently split from longtime boyfriend Gerard Pique after 12 years together, she might be ready to get back into the dating game – and it looks like another celeb is totally ready to throw in her hat in the ring.

In fact, over the weekend, the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer was spotted attending the 2023 Miami Formula 1 Grand Prix with none other than Top Gun: Maverick starring Tom Cruise. In the photos, Cruise is seen wearing a white polo shirt and aviator sunglasses while the Colombian singer wore a form-fitting plunging green top and oversized black sunglasses.

Following their unexpected release, a source now tells Page 6 where the two A-listers actually stand. “He’s extremely interested in pursuing her,” the source said, adding that “there’s chemistry” between the two.

According to the source, Cruise might be just what the singer needs after her messy breakup. “Shakira needs a soft pillow to fall on, and that could be Tom,” the source said, adding that the action star is “a handsome guy and he’s talented.”

Curiously, the source also added the unexpected reason why the two might match well: height. “And she’s not taller than him,” the source added. Cruise is 5′ 7 while Shakira is shorter at 5′ 2.

While Cruise may be interested in next steps with the singer, it’s unclear where she stands. Most recently, Shakira delivered an empowering speech at the Latin Women in Music gala. “This year has been a year of seismic change in my life where I have felt more than ever – and very personally – what it is to be a woman,” Shakira said in her speech accepting her Woman of the Year award. the year, by People.

“It’s been a year since I realized that we women are stronger than we think, braver than we thought, more independent than we were taught to be.” she continued. “Because what woman hasn’t at some point in her life forgotten herself because she’s looking for someone else’s attention and love? It’s happened to me more than once,” she added.

So while she may see relationships in a whole new light, we’ll just have to stay tuned for what lies ahead for her and Cruise. Could this be Hollywood’s next power couple?
