“I’m not thinking about that,” she insisted to Rolling Stone in a new cover story. “What space do I have for a man right now?”, she quipped.
Currently relishing her single life, Shakira remains open to the possibility of dating in the future.
“What can I tell you, I like men,” she admitted. “That’s the problem. I shouldn’t like them with everything that’s happened to me, but imagine how much I like men that I still like them.”
The veteran singer, who allegedly ended her long-term relationship with Gerard Piqué amid allegations of infidelity, has confessed that she is currently not ready for a formal relationship.
“I think my kids would have to be very prepared for that, and their emotional and psychological well-being is the priority,” she explained to the outlet.
Shakira Doesn’t Want Anything Serious, But Maybe Her and Tom Cruise Can Be… Friends
However, Shakira hinted she might be open to a more “hips don’t lie” kind of casual dating situation.
“Hey, I’m not opposed to having friends,” she revealed, as many A-list men worldwide opened their little black books.
Meanwhile, Shakira and Piqué announced their separation in June 2022 after 11 years together. They have two sons: Milan, 11, and Sasha, 9. Piqué has shown no regrets over their fallout. He swiftly rebounded with his new girlfriend, Clara Chia Marti.
Since relocating from Barcelona, Spain to Miami, Florida for a fresh start, Shakira has been linked to several high-profile eligible bachelors. In May 2023, dating rumors began swirling when she was seen boating with Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton, 39, after reportedly meeting at the Miami Grand Prix. They were later spotted getting cozy in Barcelona.
Around the same time, the Colombian superstar was also rumored to be romantically involved with Tom Cruise. Turns out, she was also seen with the Top Gun legend at the Grand Prix.
Meanwhile, rumor has it that Tom Cruise’s hungry eyes aren’t set on Shakira. According to Heat World, a source close to Cruise reveals that he has been interested in Angelina Jolie for quite some time. Cruise believes she could be an ideal match for him.
“Over the past few years, they’ve had conversations about working together. It’s just about finding the right project. And lately, Ange has seemed more open to getting to know him socially, too,” the insider teased.
