Shakira has been receiving a lot of attention from mainstream media lately and it all began after the music icon left soccer star Gerard PiquĂ© last year. Recently, she was spotted at an NBA Game in Miami. The singer came to support her favorite team, the Miami Heat as they battled it out against the Denver Nuggets in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. This isn’t her first appearance either.
A smile that melts hearts 🥰

The Heat were not successful in closing out the game for a victory. Denver has regained a 2-1 lead in the series. While Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo had a great scoring night, the rest of the squad was miserable. Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray both recorded 30-point triple-doubles. Jokic has 21 rebounds added to his 10 assists. This is the second home game Miami has lost this postseason.
Shakira was not the only celebrity in attended either. J. Cole was present at the Kaseya Center supporting his friend Caleb Martin, who has had a breakout year this season. Future also attended the game with his children. And last but not the least important one of them all, DJ Khaled was in the building as well. The rapper/producer has been a massive part of the Heat organization.

This is one of Shakira’s first public appearances since being spotted getting it on with F1 legend Lewis Hamilton. She was previously spotted at the Gran Prix which was hosted in Miami. The singer was accompanied by other celebrities including Tom Cruise. The Latin star and Cruise were previously rumored to be in a relationship but according to the US Magazine, she has no interest in dating him.
Shakira was also linked with Jimmy Butler recently
Shakira has generally been a big fan of sports, most notably soccer. Her hit song “Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)” was featured as the 2010 FIFA World Cup anthem. The pop icon started dating PiquĂ© in 2011 and the ex-couple welcomed two children during their relationship. PiquĂ© was caught cheating on her back in June 2022 and the couple split up soon after his infidelity went public.
She eventually moved to Miami, Florida with both her sons. The 3x Grammy Award Winner has since represented the Heat organization quite often. Romance rumors began to spread after she attended a Miami game and Jimmy Butler started following her on social media. Butler is way younger than the singer and he already might be in a relationship with model Kaitlin Nowak.
