“He is really interested in pursuing her,” a source exclusively tells Page Six after Tom Cruise and the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer were spotted hanging out together at the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Miami over the weekend.
The source claims that “chemistry” exists.
Cruise, 60, is unmarried, and Shakira, 46, ended her relationship with her longtime lover Gerard Piqué, 36, last June after claims that he was having an affair with Clara Chia Marti, who is now his girlfriend.
Tom Cruise may be the soft cushion Shakira needs to fall asleep on, according to the source, who also notes that Cruise has the advantage of being “a nice-looking guy and talented.”
And she isn’t taller than him, the person added with a chuckle.
The pop singer is 5-foot-2, whereas Cruise is 5-foot-7.
According to a source, Cruise was so smitten with the pop star that he even sent her flowers.
The “Top Gun: Maverick” actor and the Colombian chanteuse were spotted conversing in a special hospitality suite and spending time together on the race’s starting line on Sunday.
Sasha, 8, and Milan, 10, are the couple’s two children; Shakira and Piqué dated for 12 years. Shakira now lives in Miami.
“It’s been tough not only for me but also for my kids. Incredibly difficult,” she told Elle last September. And she added, “I can only say that I put everything I had into this relationship and my family.”
Cruise has three children: Suri, 17, whom he has with his ex-wife Katie Holmes. He also has Connor, 28, and Isabella, 30, from his marriage to Nicole Kidman.
He reportedly most recently dated Hayley Atwell, his co-star in “Mission: Impossible 7”. Subsequently, they broke up in September 2021 and for good in June 2022.
