This might be the relationship that no one saw coming — Shakira and Tom Cruise.
Over the weekend, photos showed the Hollywood actor and Colombian pop star looking very happy with each other as they attended the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Miami.
The duo dressed casually, with Shakira wearing large shades to hide her emotions. The snapshots revealed that Shakira and Cruise were having a lovely conversation as they enjoyed the highly entertaining event.
The singer-songwriter is very much single after her decade-long partner, Gerard Piqué, was caught cheating on her with a much younger woman by the name of Clara Chia Marti.

The media outlet claimed that Cruise was “so taken by the pop diva that he allegedly sent her flowers.”
According to El Confidencial, Cruise and Shakira are longtime friends. The media outlet claimed that Cruise called Shakira in 2022 when his film Top Gun was released and asked her to share her thoughts on the project.
The report claimed: “The day she received the call, Shakira was with her father, and she admitted that she had yet to see the movie because she didn’t have time. And that same evening, a screening was organized for her to watch the movie. Then she called Cruise, and she told him her experience and that her kids had loved it.”
In the summer of 2022, Shakira and Piqué ended their relationship after being together for 12 years. The soccer star and Shakira share two children, Sasha, 8, and Milan, 10.
The entertainer wrote several hit songs about the nasty breakup. She also did interviews where she spoke about her heartbreak and humiliation.
She told Elle: “It’s been tough not only for me but also for my kids. Incredibly difficult. I can only say that I put everything I had into this relationship and my family.”
Shakira was evicted from the home she shared with her former partner and now calls Miami home.
