Days after re-surfacing in the dating rumor mill, Lewis Hamilton has made another intriguing move on social media, almost acknowledging his relationship with world-renowned Colombian singer, Shakira. Following the 2023 Belgian Grand Prix, the seven-time world champion hit the headlines yet again by allegedly making a secret visit to Shakira’s Ibiza Villa.
It is likely that the pair may have kick-started Hamilton’s summer break of the 2023 Formula 1 season on the scintillating Ibiza island. But, this particular report caught most of the fans off-guard, considering the recent turn of events in the pair’s alleged love life. Earlier in July, numerous reports suggested that Hamilton was anything but interested in a serious relationship with Shakira.

And it genuinely made sense; Hamilton has often made it clear that getting into a relationship was completely out of the question. The Mercedes driver is desperately seeking his lost eighth world championship title and isn’t too keen on inviting distractions. Therefore, a union between Hamilton and Shakira seemed almost impractical.
Subsequently, an unexpected third party entered the frame of the Hamilton-Shakira story – Miami Heat’s Jimmy Butler. Shakira made a string of appearances at NBA games, supposedly cheering for the 33-year-old Olympic gold medalist. Eventually, the pair was spotted together off the court as well, in restaurants and bars, which paved the way for a whole new chapter in Shakira’s love life.
Lewis Hamilton was reportedly looking to avoid ‘distractions’
Days after the Ibiza rumor hit the headlines, Hamilton liked one of Shakira’s latest posts on Instagram. While this doesn’t particularly prove that the pair is back together, it certainly shuns the reports of the seven-time world champion opposing Shakira’s paddock appearance over F1 race weekends.

Instead, it is quite evident that the camaraderie between Hamilton and Shakira is very much intact, as they could well be inching toward the next chapter of their relationship. According to the Spanish TV channel Telecinco, Hamilton showed up at Shakira’s Ibiza villa not once, but thrice, after the workers left for the day.
“When the workers left, the singer stayed alone with her private escort and received a visit from Hamilton,” a paparazzo named Sergio Garrido claimed. Overall, one can sense that this could well be the start of something big, with more shocking reports likely to tremble the entire motorsport and Hollywood community.
But, in the end, only one question continues to linger in the minds of millions of fans; are Lewis Hamilton and Shakira dating each other? Or is there a new love affair spurring between the British racing legend and Mexican actress, Eiza Gonzalez amidst recent sightings in Ibiza?
