NBA star Jimmy Butler and singer Shakira have been romantically involved, as per a report. The news was confirmed by multiple media outlets’ citing sources, revealing that the couple has been taking their relationship slowly. Although they have gone out together a few times, it is still too early to determine if their connection has long-term potential.
Despite a significant age difference of 13 years, Shakira reportedly isn't bothered by it. She enjoys spending time with Butler, who brings a smile to her face. The exact start date of their relationship remains unknown, but speculations began when Shakira was frequently seen attending Heat games, particularly during the playoffs, where she often sat courtside near the team's bench.
The rumors gained traction after Butler liked a video of Shakira performing an acoustic song, further fueling the speculation. However, neither Butler nor Shakira have publicly addressed the dating rumors yet. The recent sighting of the couple together in London added more fuel to the speculation.
They were spotted enjoying a cozy dinner at the renowned Novikov Restaurant & Bar, arriving only minutes apart. Witnesses reported a sweet moment between the two during their dining experience. Shakira was even escorted by Butler's security team, indicating the seriousness of their connection.
The rumors about their relationship initially surfaced following Shakira's move to Miami, where the Heat is based. She has shown support for the team by posting videos during their playoff series against the Boston Celtics. Butler, on the other hand, had been single for some time after separating from his girlfriend, Kaitlin Nowak, with whom he has a daughter.
