Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler and singer Shakira are dating, but still taking things slow, according to a Friday report from US Weekly, which claims he makes her laugh and she doesn’t mind the age gap.
Shakira, 46, is 13 years older than Butler and the two have been linked for several months now, especially since she was spotted at Heat games during the 2023 NBA Playoffs.
Shakira goes to support Lewis Hamilton at the Silverstone F1“They have been out a few times, but things are very new and it’s too early to tell if there’s long-term potential there,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly. “Jimmy makes Shakira smile, and she feels happy spending time with him.”
The source added that Shakira, who has been linked romantically to several stars since her recent divorce, “doesn’t mind” the 13-year age gap “whatsoever.”
Butler, 33, was recently spotted at Wimbledon sitting a few rows away from Shakira and they continued the party elsewhere.
London date for Jimmy Butler and Shakira
They went to dinner together despite arriving to the restaurant minutes apart from each other.
“The pair were spotted looking cozy inside the restaurant as they ordered at one of London’s most popular celebrity restaurants,” E! News reported.
Butler’s security detail reportedly escorted Shakira once they left Novikov Restaurant & Bar together.
Neither Shakira nor Butler have yet to confirm or deny the dating rumors. For now, they’ll probably continue to sneak around, albeit unsuccessfully.
