Shakira, the 46-year-old global superstar, has set tongues wagging with dating rumors involving NBA star Jimmy Butler, 33. The two were spotted stepping out together in London after reportedly getting cozy during a dinner date at Novikov Restaurant & Bar.
Although they tried to keep a low profile, arriving separately but just minutes apart, Shakira and Jimmy seemed to have a connection that kept them engaged for hours. The couple remained inside the popular celebrity hotspot until the early hours of the morning, finally parting ways and heading to their respective cars.
An eyewitness who observed their evening together revealed to DailyMail.com that Shakira’s security team assisted in escorting her chauffeur-driven car from the restaurant’s fire exit. Inside the establishment, the pair appeared quite comfortable and affectionate, enjoying sushi and cocktails.
Shakira, known for her signature voluminous curls, chose a stylish denim jumpsuit and complemented her look with pink lipstick. The mother-of-two seemed to be radiating confidence and happiness throughout the night.
The sighting has sparked speculation about a potential romance between the Colombian singer and the Miami Heat shooting guard. Shakira’s previous relationship with Spanish soccer player Gerard Piqué, with whom she shares two children, recently came to an end after a tumultuous split.
Fans and onlookers are eagerly waiting to see if Shakira and Jimmy Butler’s London rendezvous was just a friendly outing or the start of something more. Only time will tell if this pairing will blossom into a new celebrity power couple.
