Shakira is 'not interested' in dating Tom Cruise after he felt they had a 'connection'
Shakira is reportedly 'not interested' in dating Tom Cruise after he felt they had a 'connection'.
While the Hollywood A-lister, 60, may have felt a spark with the 'Hips Don't Lie' hit-maker at the F1 Grand Prix in Miami earlier this month (7 May) - it's clear the romance isn't reciprocated.
The Top Gun star was allegedly 'absolutely mesmerized' by Shakira, 46, and, I mean, can you blame him?
Cruise has allegedly been pursuing the singer despite her 'begging' him to press pause on his advances, a source told Heat Magazine.

After hanging out at the swish settings of the Grand Prix - talk about a meet-cute - Cruise reportedly sent Shakira a bouquet of flowers, but the romantic gesture wasn't enough to change her mind.
The source went on to note that the Mission Impossible star was 'giddy' after spending time with Shakira and was even exhibiting similar behavior to 'how he acted' when he first started dated his ex-wife, Katie Holmes.
"He came away convinced they had a real connection they needed to build on," the source revealed.
"She doesn’t want to embarrass or upset him, but there’s no attraction or romance on her part — she was just being friendly. She’s flattered but not interested."
While the F1 encounter was more than enough to get the rumor mill churning about the two joining forces to form the ultimate power couple - another source confirmed to US Weekly that Shakira was straight-up not interested in the slightest.
They disclosed: "Shakira has seen the online rumors that Tom has been courting her — and how fans are chiming in with their opinions — but she thinks it’s hilarious because it’s just not true."
The source went on to declare the singer is currently focusing on mom life opposed to her love life following her breakup with former Spanish footballer Gerard Piqué, 36, who reportedly cheated on her.
The pair were together for 11 years and Piqué has since officially started a new relationship with 23-year-old Clara Chia Marti.
"He [Tom] was really nice and she enjoyed his company, but she isn’t focused on dating him or anybody else at the moment. She has a lot on her plate and is focused on her kids and career for now," the source explained
"She had a fun time when they chatted, but that’s as far as things have gone."
