A Source Just Spilled Details About Shakira's Rumored New Romance With a Much Younger Sports Star

Shakira and Jimmy Butler’s rumored new romance is said to be heating up but still in the early stages according to sources. The “Hips Don’t Lie” singer and the NBA player have sparked dating rumors after they were seen out for dinner in London on Wednesday night.

The dinner outing was the latest of several subtle interactions that have fueled the rumors. The 46-year-old singer — who lives in Miami with sons Milan, 9, and Sasha, 7, whom she shares with Gerard Piqué, 38 — attended a Miami Heat game in May and shared a selfie video cheering on the team which Butler is a member of. Days later, Butler liked a photo of Shakira playing guitar, Us Weekly reports.
