SHAKIRA and Lewis Hamilton have become “inseparable” as they embrace a “hot summer romance”, an insider claims.
The Colombian star and F1 ace have sparked dating rumours after being spotted getting cosy at a string of events in recent months.
Shakira, 46, split from her long-term footballer boyfriend Gerard Pique last year but is now claimed to be “fast-tracking” her apparent love affair with Hamilton.
A source told In Touch: “She’s over Gerard and fast-tracking her romance with Lewis.
“They’re inseparable. It’s definitely a hot summer romance.
“She believes in love and is very open to see what the future might hold for them.”
