It looks like Shakira (46) is finally ready to move on from her longtime ex, Gerard Piqué.

The Hips Don’t Lie hitmaker, who split from the Spanish soccer star last year after he was bust cheating on her, has been spending a lot of time with F1 champion Lewis Hamilton (38) lately, sparking rumours they’re more than just friends.

The sighting comes just a few weeks after the British racing champ joined the singer for a yacht ride outside her new $20 million (R380 million) waterfront mansion in Florida, after she watched him take part in the Miami Grand Prix.

And it seems Lewis isn't the only man Shakira has impressed lately.

Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise was said to be smitten with the singer after meeting her at the F1 Grand Prix in Miami, reportedly sending flowers to her house after the event.

He was even overhead telling pals they had “incredible chemistry”.

However, Shakira apparently was not interested in pursuing anything with the Top Gun star. “It was a huge dent to Tom's ego,” a source told Radar Online. “It stung all the more because he considers Lewis a buddy.”
