Lewis Hamilton and Shakira are officially in a relationship, as a People magazine investigation reported, corroborating the whispers circulating since the pair were spotted together at the Miami Grand Prix.
The unexpected romance between the 46-year-old Colombian superstar and the 38-year-old Formula 1 champion has stirred interest in celebrity news.
After looking into the matter, People magazine has affirmed that the pair are indeed in the initial stages of dating. As described by the magazine, their relationship is in the “fun and flirty” stage as they take time to get acquainted with each other. Affirmations from their respective circles seem to support this assertion.
The rumor mill began churning when the pair were first seen together at the Miami GP. Initially, Shakira was spotted with Tom Cruise, but Hamilton later entered the scene.
The media outlet Page Six first reported on this potential romantic link, which seemed speculative at the time. However, the speculation took a more credible turn when they were seen together at the Spanish F1 Grand Prix in Barcelona.

Following the race, the pair enjoyed dinner together. They even shared a cozy picture on social media, where Hamilton is seen with his arms wrapped around Shakira’s waist – a detail that certainly added fuel to the romantic speculation.
Intriguingly, Hamilton was seen with Shakira just three days after the Miami Grand Prix. To further the speculation, Hamilton, in a recent interview, hinted at his inclination for a Latina partner, expressing, “I need to find a Latina,” which fans took as a clear reference to Shakira. While they’ve yet to confirm their relationship status publicly, all signs indicate they’re romantically involved. They also have shared hobbies such as playing guitar, piano, and surfing, hinting at possible bonding activities for the newly linked pair.
