Jimmy Butler, a Miami Heat player, and Shakira, a singer, are reportedly dating, although they are only taking things slowly, according to a recent US Weekly article.
The first indication that the two were dating came when Shakira was spotted at a Heat game in the 2023 NBA playoffs. According to the insider who spoke to Us Weekly, Butler has a gift for making Shakira laugh, and she doesn’t seem to mind their considerable age gap.
“They have been out a few times, but things are very new and it’s too early to tell if there is long-term potential there,” the insider told the publication. Spending time with Jimmy makes Shakira happy and she smiles.
They emphasised once more that Shakira is okay with the NBA star being 13 years older than she is. Shakira claimed that she “doesn’t mind” the age difference at all. Recent sightings of the two at Wimbledon saw them sitting a few seats apart and drinking together after the match.
Despite arriving at the restaurant separately, Shakira and Butler were seen eating together, according to E! News: “The pair were spotted looking cosy inside the restaurant as they ordered at one of London’s most popular celebrity restaurants.”
