How did the rumors of Shakira dating Jimmy Butler begin?

The singer and the Miami Heat player Butler met at one of the NBA games earlier this year. She has always attended basketball games because of her ex-boyfriend Gerard Pique and her kids who loved the Miami Heat.

However, following her separation from Pique, the pop star has appeared more frequently at the Heat games. Naturally, this soon started raising eyebrows. Her recent IG post from the MLB was liked by numerous fans and rumored beau Jimmy Butler.

The Colombian singer announced her split with Pique in 2022.
