Shakira, Lewis Hamilton in 'Love Triangle' With Tom Cruise — But Actor's 'Flirtation' a Failure?

One person is reportedly left with a dented ego amid Shakira and Lewis Hamilton's dating rumors - and it is none other than Tom Cruise.

Shakira opened her heart again after her highly-publicized split from Gerard Pique in June 2022, over a decade after confirming their relationship in March 2011. Among the sea of men who want her, Hamilton reportedly won her heart and started dating her.

Love Triangle? Tom Cruise Broken Amid Shakira-Lewis Hamilton Dating Rumors

After Shakira divorced Pique, the "Mission Impossible" actor purportedly started pursuing the singer and "flirting" with her over the past months, The Mirror reported.

Cruise was said to have told his friends already that he and the "Waka Waka" hitmaker had incredible chemistry that he expected to officially date her. However, reports about Shakira's relationship with Hamilton emerged, leaving the actor broken.

His close friend confirmed to the news outlet that his ego "had been dented" after Shakira rejected him and chose to have a relationship with his friend and Formula 1 driver.

"It was a huge dent to Tom's ego," the insider claimed. "It stung all the more because he considers Lewis a buddy."

Although Cruise believed he had a chance, the "Whenever, Wherever" singer reportedly told his team that she was not interested in him and even begged for him to stop flirting with her, per the report.

Before Shakira, Hamilton dated Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger, Nicki Minaj, and Rita Ora.
