Over the weekend, one event got the biggest A-listers in attendance. Not the coronation – the Miami Grand Prix, F1’s takeover in America. While Tom Cruise pretaped a little thing for King Charles’s coronation concert, Cruise showed up in person in Miami. Tons of celebrities and athletes were there, including tennis players like Serena Williams, Venus Williams, Roger Federer and Juan Martin del Potro. Ludacris was there, LL Cool J was there, Nick Jonas was there. Shakira was also there – following her split from Gerard Pique, she has now moved permanently to Miami and she will raise her sons there. So she came out to enjoy some racing. Which is how Shakira ended up spending some time with Tom Cruise, and now we’re getting the obligatory rumors about how Cruise wants to date Shakira.
The race is on … for single Shakira. After Tom Cruise and the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer were photographed hanging out together at the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Miami over the weekend, a source exclusively tells Page Six: “He is extremely interested in pursuing her.”
“There is chemistry,” says the source.
Cruise, 60, is single and Shakira, 46, split from her longtime boyfriend Gerard Piqué, 36, last June amid allegations he was having an affair with his now-girlfriend, Clara Chia Marti.
“Shakira needs a soft pillow to fall on, and that could be Tom,” says our source — adding that Cruise has the benefit of being, “a nice-looking guy, and he is talented.”
The source also cracked, “And she isn’t taller than him.” Cruise is 5-foot-7 while the pop star is 5-foot-2.
A source tells us that Cruise was so taken by the pop diva that he allegedly sent her flowers.
On Sunday, the “Top Gun: Maverick” star and the Colombian chanteuse spent time together on the race’s starting grid and were seen chatting in a private hospitality suite.
So, I’ve been thinking about this and it actually makes sense from Tom’s side. He previously dated Penelope Cruz and Sofia Vergara, for goodness sake – Shakira would definitely “fit” with his “type” of Spanish and South American girlfriends. Now, do I think this makes sense from Shakira’s side? No. She needs to have some peace and quiet before jumping into anything with a problematic dude like Cruise. Still, I bet Shakira liked flirting with him.

Tom needs to leave her alone
Hasn’t she suffered enough in the romantic stakes
Is Tom Cruise love bombing Shakira? Does he date women who already have kids and aren’t known scientologists? Yikes! I hope she runs.
I can’t even remember his last big relationship, he was obviously burned by how Katie outsmarted him and ran for the hills.I don’t think he will ever make a public romantic fool of himself again. He probably has secret companions that are not famous.
So that’s where he was lol, I was so shocked to see him and David Beckham missing from the chubby, since they love the RF.
Shakira is too smart to date Tom Cruise
He is lucky she was polite enough to have a photo taken with her.
Cruise, honestly. Get a grip you goof.
Perfect summary.
He’s literally moving in on her, you can see it. Jesus. No, Zenu.
If Shakira wants to win the divorce with her terrible ex and his horrible family, a brief “fling” with Cruise might be just the thing. Lots of positive press gives her an opportunity to get free promotion for her other projects and I’m sure he’s a pleasant and courteous fake boyfriend. Maybe 2-3 months before their “schedules conflict” and they break up and move on?
Um no. If my soon-to-be ex let Tom Cruise anywhere near our minor children, I would sue for full custody and probably win. Let’s prioritize the well being of the kids.
He does not look good. he desperately needs a haircut and that shirt was ill-advised.
and he has no business trying to get with anyone – he choose his cult over all else and just needs to steer clear of other humans and keep that cult-stank away.
RUN!! I can’t imagine why anyone would still date him after his high profile insanely traumatic splits with Nicole kidman and then Katie Holmes.
Exactly! Run as fast as you can girl! Wacala.
Her body language is giving hard “not interested”. It’s almost like her kid saved her from him
Almost? She practically drags her kid between them. She’s got this. No need to send in reinforcements.
Does he actually ‘date’ these days? I saw a reference to him as asexual elsewhere and given what we do know about how he lives his life it would fit. He’s so absorbed in a bubble of ego and scientology that he’s just not attracted to anyone else anymore.
I seem to vaguely remember ( not sure about all the details) something I read about when he and Katie Holmes was married, and there was separate bedrooms but also some type of really highstrung and sort of “public”( in the house so to speak) bedtime routine, like where he praised her and wished her a good night etc in front of everyone and then they retired to separate rooms or smth like that.
Like he and the whole household was always “on”. His sister and mother lived with them if I remeber correctly. Interesting dynamics for sure, seems very exhausting.
I can see him being AS.
She’s giving major “I don’t wanna talk to you” vibes in that video.
From the body language in that Tic Tok, I’d wager that he’s way more into her than she is into him. He’s facing her and seems very engaged in the convo, and she’s giving him profile. She’s being polite, but is very engaged with her child, not Tom.
Also, RUN Shakira. Run fast and far.
Agreed. Also I keep hearing that audio “don’t do it girl! don’t do it!” in my head. I don’t think she’s into him.
He’s having more and more problems finding women who are age appropriate for him. Who also can help keep his career going. Pitts having the same problem.
A gazillion men want to date Shakira. And Shakira “needs a soft pillow to fall on” are they kidding with that? Shakira can buy her own pillows. Being single is awesome.
If her weren’t a creeper, I’d be all for this. As it stands, I’m saving my Tom Cruise romancing the stone wishes for his fling with Kate Middleton.
And, yeah, he needs a better shirt and if he has pec implants, they need to go.
Run, Shakira! RUN!
I came here to say exactly THIS 😀
Cruise still trying to recruit more big names for Scientology?
Always.
I’d hardly call a thrice divorced, dangerous cult member a “soft pillow” to land on. FFS. Run girl.
I picture Katie Holmes picking up the phone this morning to make a call…
It must be nice for her to feel like men still want to date her?? Because now she’s so ancient and divorced who besides a weird man in his sixties might convince her she’s desirable? I think Shakira is not hard up for prospects.
She’s wait too smart and too good for a douche like him.
He’s so gross…
Shakira seems too independent for a wacko like Tom. I believe she is someone who likes to call the shots in a relationship. I can’t see her falling for someone like him.
I’m pretty sure Tom’s PR team put out this rumour cause no woman wants to be willingly linked with him. He pulled similar trick with Hayley Atwell.
Stay away from her, Tom!! Also, lollling at them saying Cruise is 5’7.
Shakira , girl, don’t do it! If you think your insane boundary stomping, controlling rude AF MIL is bad, wait until you have to deal with those Scientologists. Do NOT let Tom and those folks anywhere near your kids. Smile nod and run away, fast and far.
Somewhere, Henry Cavill sees this nonsense photo and rushes to grab his jacket.
“Hold on, Shakira is free?. Is she ready to have a romance? Wait, please. I’m looking for my car keys, I am on my way ASAP.”
I have never enjoyed Henry Cavill more than as he was being interviewed, he spotted Shakira walking by and completely lost his composure.
Spots Shakira and looked shook up… “Is that Shakira?”
I swear he almost ran after her for a sec, then realized he was still on camera.
Shakira 💕
Wouldn’t that have to mean her and her children becoming Scientologists? No way will she agree to this. I think she is a Catholic. Also, why in the world does she NEED Tom Cruise for ANY reason? He’s just flapping his gums.
Sorry, “SHE and her children,” not “her.” I guess my head isn’t in the game right now.
Tom Cruise dated Sofia Vergara??
Shakira strikes me as having a bad picker. However, her body language isn’t matching his energy, so I think she’s safe.
Also, IDK if J. Lo is friends with her (they did perform a Halftime show together), but Leah Remini + J. Lo are BFFs. Maybe J. Lo will call her to make sure she stays away.
Gerard Piqué may be a dog… but imagine going from that to Tom Cruise?!? Yeah Tom… you wish. lmao
Tom and Shakira aside 😊 my husband was excited for F1 to finally have exposure and has become big here in the US. I remembered when we were in Monte Carlo years ago and instead of taking in the sites he was more intrigued of the streets the race would take place lol. Hes excited for the Vegas event in Nov. That would be interesting Closing down the iconic Vegas strip for these races like they do in Monaco.
Tom is probably interested, Shakira probably not. She seems to be his type (pretty face, big hair, famous, talented). But he seems to not be hers (TALL). LOL
But thanks for this rumor it took my mind off some things hehe
I’m sure Tom and his cult would love another high-profile relationship. But she seems too smart and too famous to fall for that nonsense. And Tommy loves tall women. Shakira may be too short for him lol.
