![Shakira sparks new romance rumors as she enjoys a Miami boat trip with F1 ace Lewis Hamilton hours after the pair crossed paths at a fancy restaurant. The newly single and highly eligible bachelorette was picked up by the British-born racing star at the back of her own $20 million Miami Beach mansion on Wednesday. She was seen accepting Hamilton's offer of a hand, with the decorated Mercedes driver promptly got to his feet as she climbed aboard. They were accompanied on the cruise by heavily tattooed American fencer Miles Chamley-Watson, one of Hamilton's closest friends. It came the day after the two had crossed paths as Shakira made her way into Miami's upscale Cipriani restaurant, where Hamilton was dining out with pals on Tuesday evening. Speculation is now mounting around a potential new love match for the 46-year-old pop diva, who was also linked to Tom Cruise earlier this week amid reports the actor was "extremely interested" in pursuing her after they chatted at the Miami Grand Prix last weekend. But it seems she may be more interested in Hamilton, who competed in the flashy event. On Wednesday, she showed off her toned legs and torso in a flirty fringed lilac bikini top and matching shorts, wearing her famous long wavy hair loose over her shoulders. She was all smiles as she boarded the vessel which pulled up on Biscayne Bay behind her lavish waterfront pad. The 'Hips Don't Lie' songstress returned later on looking relaxed and went barefoot as she climbed back onto her personal dock. Shakira is newly single after splitting from soccer star Gerard Pique after 12 years. The former couple share two children, Sasha, 8, and Milan, 10. 10 May 2023 Pictured: Shakira and Lewis Hamilton.

Coach Shakira has a nice ring to it! — Then again, it’s something The Voice fans already dubbed her in 2013 and 2014 as a coach on the popular singing competition. The Grammy-winning Colombian singer, 43, could make a triumphant return to The Voice, following the success of her Super Bowl halftime performance.
“A return to ‘The Voice’ is very likely to be one of the first things to happen for her after Super Bowl,” a source tells HollywoodLife, exclusively, noting that “NBC is clamoring to get her back in the seat.” And, she’s ready to get to work. — “In the days after the Super Bowl, while she’s been relaxing, Shakira feels the love and is looking forward to the future and what’s to come in her career,” the insider says.
Shakira’s Super Bowl halftime performance was her first big gig in quite some time. While the singer has always been a hard working mom, she’s known to lay low when it comes to the spotlight. The singer initially left The Voice to spend time with her family. But now, “Shakira’s expecting many more opportunities to come from her Super Bowl halftime, both in music and hopefully film and TV,” the source admits, adding that the mom of two is on cloud nine after the Super Bowl.
“Shakira knew that she could deliver at the Super Bowl and it has become something even more special than ever expected. It was the best birthday present to herself that she could’ve ever imagined,” the insider says. Shakira celebrated her 43rd birthday on Super Bowl Sunday.
Shakira coached on seasons four and six of The Voice in 2013 and 2014. She did not win either season.
