Almost an entire decade has gone by since Nicole Scherzinger bid adieu to her long-term boyfriend, Lewis Hamilton. However, despite vigilant probing for years, the seven-time world champion is still yet to find a girl that could inherit the world-renowned American singer. Of course, months after the shocking Hamilton-Scherzinger news broke out, there were countless dating rumors spreading like wildfire across the world.
Hamilton found himself engrossed in the dating world again, amidst alleged interests from numerous Hollywood stars, including the likes of Rihanna, Kendall Jenner, Nicki Minaj, and more. The Briton had multiple dalliances with women for a handful of years before shifting his focus to Formula 1 altogether.
Now, after a brief stint of absolute silence, Hamilton has made an astounding return to the dating world, this time, with Colombian singer Shakira. The 46-year-old has been in the headlines for months now amidst her mysterious association with Hamilton. Quite recently, the ‘Hips Don’t Lie’ fame allegedly had Hamilton visiting her villa in Ibiza.
This subsequently fortified the possibilities of Hamilton and Shakira engaging in what could be a rather serious relationship. But, is that really the truth? Strolling back to 2018, the Briton was engulfed in a similar pool of rumors with not one, but multiple women. However, Hamilton made a sound statement that almost immediately shunned such questionable theories.
Lewis Hamilton unlikely to be in a relationship with Shakira
Speaking to The Times, Hamilton openly acknowledged that juggling an exceptional racing career and a relationship is almost impossible. Hence, despite wanting to become a father, the Briton admitted that he will not seek a love life until he bids goodbye to Formula 1.
“My love life is non-existent. I’m a workaholic. I don’t have time for it. When you travel as much as I do it’s hard to keep up a relationship, so I’m of the mindset that I’m not going to do that until I’ve stopped and no longer have to be single-minded. I want to have kids, but I want to be there for them – to be a good and present dad. But I’d be open to it if I happened to come across someone special,” he said.
Overall, it looks like Hamilton is reluctant to carry his relationship with Shakira to the next step, especially with unfinished business in F1. The Mercedes star is quite desperately seeking redemption for the ‘stolen’ 2021 world championship title. Hence, could an eighth world championship title jolt Hamilton to reconsider his stance on a serious relationship?
