Shakira has addressed comments by Tom Cruise about her hips nearly a year after they were made. This response follows rumours linking her romantically to celebrities, including Lewis Hamilton and Tom Cruise, especially after her public split from Gerard Pique.
In mid-2023, Cruise praised Shakira during an interview on Univision’s ‘Despierta America.’ He complimented her talent and character and responded humorously to a playful question about her iconic song ‘Hips Don’t Lie.’ Cruise affirmed, “No, her hips don’t lie! They don’t!”
This comment fueled speculation about a potential romantic link between the two, though it was often viewed as an awkward moment given their professional relationship status.
At the Met Gala on May 6, 2024, journalist Jessica Rodriguez revisited the topic. Wear a striking Carolina Herrera gown, Shakira responded to the recurring hip inquiry with a clever nod to her recent song, stating, “You’re right; they are the most honest hips.”
Meanwhile, rumours of a romance with Lewis Hamilton also swirled. Still, sources close to Shakira confirmed to US Weekly that she was not interested in dating Cruise or anyone else, focusing instead on her children and her career. They described the romantic speculation as “hilarious.”
In contrast, a source in Heat magazine described the interactions between Shakira and Cruise as cordial, with no romantic interest on her part despite Cruise’s apparent admiration.
