SHAKIRA brushed off rumours of a love triangle with two sports stars as she hit the town clad from head to toe in black.
The pop beauty partied at a star-studded bash on Thursday night – a day after she was spotted on what appeared to be a date with NBA ace Jimmy Butler.
Shakira, 46, and Butler, 33, were pictured leaving Novikov Restaurant & Bar in London just two minutes apart – with the singer escorted to her car by his entourage.
The pair were said to be getting “cosy” as they enjoyed sushi and cocktails together at the exclusive Italian restaurant in the heart of the capital’s Mayfair district.
Shakira rocked a figure-hugging denim jumpsuit, while Butler paired black pants and a tee with a red bandana.
An insider told the outlet the pair looked ‘cozy’ in the restaurant, where they eventually left separately at 1.30am.

But just days earlier, Shakira watched from the Mercedes team’s VIP area as seven-times champ Lewis Hamilton, 38, sped to a podium finish on his home circuit at Silverstone on Sunday.
It was the third time Shakira has watched Hamilton race this season – revving up rumours they are secretly dating.
But amid speculation of a growing love triangle, a carefree Shakira donned sunglasses and a skimpy top as she partied with other A-listers at Vogue magazine’s party.
She was pictured being helped out of the Chiltern Firehouse, London, by a man in a blue shirt – believed to be her bodyguard.

Shakira and Butler were first linked after the Colombian singer was spotted courtside during last month’s NBA Finals.
The pair began following each other on Instagram following the game, with Butler – who plays for the Miami Heat – recently liking a snap of the singer after she wowed at Paris Fashion Week.
Meanwhile, Shakira and Lewis have been spotted enjoying a series of cosy outings together in the wake of her messy split from footballer ex Pique.
She was pictured beaming at the Spanish Grand Prix last month as she cheered the Mercedes driver to second place.
Afterwards he was snapped with his arm round her waist as they had cocktails with friends in Barcelona.
In May, Shakira also watched Hamilton race in Miami – her new home town since moving to the US earlier this year.
The British speed ace was pictured speaking to her at a restaurant in the city, sparking a frenzy of speculation.
Days later Lewis picked her up from the back of her £12million beach mansion at the start of a cosy boat trip together.
