Following Shakira's presence with movie star Tom Cruise at the Miami Grand Prix, rumours regarding her romantic relationships have been rampant.

The Colombian singer was also spotted with Formula 1 icon Lewis Hamilton twice in the space of a week in the aftermath of the Miami Grand Prix.

And now, the latest man to whom Shakira has been linked with is 33-year-old Miami Heat baller Jimmy Butler.

According to media outlet Essentially Sports, Shakira was present at Miami Heat's recent game against the Boston Celtics in the NBA's Eastern Conference Finals at the FTX Arena last Sunday.

Attending numerous sporting and social events may not seem out of the ordinary for the Colombian artist.

Still, things took an interesting turn when it came to light that she and Butler had been following one another on social media.

Shakira follows a select few on Instagram, with a mere 159 users making the cut. Among that exclusive list is Butler, the 6-foot-2 shooting guard of the Miami Heat.

Marca reported that speculation on who followed who first has tended to favour the idea that Shakira made the first move.

Shakira's son imitates Butler's costume

As reported by Marca, in an amusing coincidence related to Shakira's Halloween celebrations, one of her sons dressed up as none other than Jimmy Butler.

It's crucial to remember that all of this is still just speculation because Jimmy Butler and Shakira haven't made any statements about it.

Pique's mother speaks about Shakira

Barcelona legend Gerard Pique's mother, Monsterrat, was recently quizzed about her son's split up with Shakira, Sports Brief reported. Monsterrat, a specialist in physical rehabilitation, provided a pragmatic response when asked about her son's split. She claimed that she had other duties to take care of than worrying about the matter too much.

Speaking to HOLA, Monsterrat said:

“I have a professional life, and I have a family life. When I am at work, I am Dr Berbaneu, and I dedicate myself exclusively to that. I focus on what I have to do.”

Shakira and Pique split

Sports Brief had also reported earlier that the romantic union between popular musician Shakira and Barcelona defender Gerard Pique has ended.

Pique was allegedly caught cheating and the couple has been leading separate lives for quite a while now.

They have been together since 2010 and their union was blessed with two children, Milan and Sasha.
