Shakira allegedly denied rumors of romantic involvement with Tom Cruise, citing her disinterest in pursuing such a relationship. After they were photographed together at the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Miami earlier this month, speculation about a possible relationship between the 46-year-old singer and the 60-year-old actor began.
According to recent reports, Tom was "desperate" for a date with Shakira and was eager to pursue her. Shakira is reportedly not looking for a romantic relationship at the moment and is instead concentrating on her family.
Tom is believed to have been overly flirtatious when he first met Shakira, which led to her asking him to stop, according to Heat magazine. The piece went on to discuss their interaction at the Grand Prix, indicating that despite the stars' years of sporadic acquaintanceship, they had never previously spent time together in a casual atmosphere.
According to a source in Heat Magazine, Tom behaved similarly to his ex-wife, Katie Holmes, when they first met, suggesting that he saw a real bond that needed fostering. Shakira doesn't appear to have the same sentiments, though.
It went on to say that Shakira was only being cordial when they met, posing for pictures with Tom and striking up a discussion. According to a source referenced in the article, Shakira has been "pleading with him to stop flirting with her."
But the story also said that Tom had called Shakira his "dream woman," which put her in an awkward position. As a result, even if she isn't interested, Shakira has been asked about a prospective romantic relationship with Tom.
According to the source, Shakira does not want to humiliate or offend Tom, but she does want to make it plain that there is no attraction or romance between them. Although delighted by his desire, she has respectfully expressed her unwillingness in pursuing a romantic connection.
