He accessorized his casual attire with a red bandana and a gold watch. It follows Shakira’s high-profile divorce from Gerard Pique and recent romance rumors linking her to Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton and Tom Cruise. Shakira’s chauffeur-driven car was moved from the restaurant fire exit by Butler’s security entourage, according to an eyewitness. According to Daily Mail, a source observed that the couple appeared “cozy” while dining at the restaurant. While at the Kaseya Center in Miami for the 2023 NBA Finals, Shakira attended one of Butler’s games as a way of showing her support for him.

Shakira Fuels Dating Rumors With Jimmy Butler After ‘Cozy’ Dinner, Fans Say She Prefers Pro-Athletes
Shakira has been linked to a high-profile athlete who isn’t Lewis Hamilton. An eyewitness told Page Six that the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer went out with Miami Heat player Jimmy Butler for a “low-key” dinner date in London on Wednesday night. Shakira, who was rumoured to be dating Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton, was spotted at Novikov Restaurant & Bar shortly after 10 p.m., approximately at the same moment as Butler. Although they tried to keep a low profile when they entered the fancy Asian and Italian restaurant, we’re told they also exited just minutes apart at about 1:30 a.m. The NBA All-Star’s security detail even assisted the Grammy winner, 46, in getting into her “chauffeur-driven car from the restaurant’s fire exit,” according to the spy. According to the onlooker, Shakira and Butler appeared “cosy” inside the celebrity hotspot, where they ate sushi and sipped cocktails. For the midweek supper, the “Whenever, Wherever” singer wore a denim jumpsuit with strappy black sandals and a swipe of pink lipstick. Shakira also wore a little black purse and wore her golden locks in her signature bouncy curls.
Butler, meanwhile, kept it casual in a black top, black velour trousers and bright white trainers. He added a red bandanna, silver stud earrings, a matching necklace, and a gold watch to his otherwise modest look. Shakira witnessed Butler’s squad play the Denver Nuggets in the 2023 NBA Finals in June. Following the game, they apparently began following each other on Instagram. Their dinner rendezvous across the water, though, was their initial public outing together. In recent weeks, Shakira, who separated from Gerard Piqué last year, was linked to Hamilton. Butler, for his part, has a daughter named Rylee with model Kaitlin Nowak in 2019. They announced their relationship when attending the 2020 Super Bowl together, and he opened out about his parenting challenges the following year. It’s unknown whether Butler and Nowak are still in a romantic relationship.
