Shakira and Miami Heat player Jimmy Butler are taking their relationship slow, enjoying casual dates together. According to an exclusive source, they have been out a few times, but it’s too early to determine if they have long-term potential.
The 13-year age difference between them doesn’t bother Shakira, 46. She genuinely enjoys Jimmy’s company, and he brings a smile to her face.
While Shakira’s kids have been fans of Jimmy Butler for a while, her connection with him is relatively new. They have only recently started following each other on social media, and their acquaintance is still in its early stages.
After Shakira shared a video of herself cheering for the Miami Heat in May, Jimmy showed his appreciation by liking a video of her acoustic performance on Instagram.
Prior to her association with Butler, Shakira ended her relationship with Gerard Piqué, who she was with for over 10 years. Although reports emerged about Piqué’s alleged infidelity, neither Shakira nor Piqué has directly addressed the rumors.
After the split, Piqué was seen showing affection to model Clara Chía in August 2022. Their relationship was confirmed by Piqué in February.
Shakira has openly expressed the difficulty she faced during the breakup and seeing Piqué move on. In her song “BZRP Music Session #53,” a collaboration with DJ Bizarrap, she subtly references their relationship, singing in Spanish about becoming stronger despite the pain and wishing him the best with his supposed replacement.
Furthermore, Shakira revealed that she felt betrayed by Piqué while her father, William Mebarak Chadid, was in the hospital. Her father had gone to Barcelona to comfort her after the separation, but during that time, he suffered a serious accident.
Shakira discovered the betrayal through the media while her father was in the ICU, adding to the overwhelming challenges she was facing.
