Tom Cruise is rumored to be ‘extremely interested’ in romantically pursuing Shakira after the two were spotted together at the Formula One Grand Prix in Miami this past weekend.
According to a source who spoke to New York Post’s Page Six, the 60-year-old Hollywood star is actively trying to date the 46-year-old Colombian singer as there seems to be ‘electricity’ between them.
The South American singer-songwriter, whose full name is Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll, broke up with her longtime boyfriend Gerard Piqué, 36, last summer amid claims he had cheated on her with Clara Chia Marti, 24.
The three-time Grammy Award winner ‘needs a soft pillow to fall on, and that could be Tom,’ the source told Page Six. The insider also joked that Tom’s lower stature might not be a problem since Shakira “isn’t taller than him’.
After running into Shakira at the South Florida F1 race on Sunday, the Hollywood veteran reportedly gifted her flowers and the two were observed conversing in a special hospitality room as well as on the race’s starting grid.
Mother of Milan, 10, and Sasha, 8, Shakira said to Elle magazine that one of the main reasons for her breakup with the footballer was because she had to “sacrifice” her career for his.
