Since her split with Gerard Pique, Shakira has been the center of attention. After the divorce, the Colombian icon moved to Miami with her two kids. Since the shift, she has been rather outgoing as compared to her days in Barcelona. The ‘Waka Waka’ artist has been to F1 events with Tom Cruise. In addition, she even attended the NBA finals. This triggered her fanbase to believe she has an interest in one particular star in those games, Jimmy Butler.
