    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 earlier this month.
    Revving up dating rumours, she was also 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.
    But despite claims the pair are tied at the hip, they have been pictured on different continents this week.
    Shakira ended a party-filled European trip as she returned to Miami, where she lives with her two sons – Milan, nine, and Sasha, seven.
    On Thursday, she was pictured stepping out in a stunning red mini dress as she collected eight awards at the 2023 Premios Juventud Awards.
    She matched the figure-hugging gown with a pair of fiery red sunglasses as she beamed on stage.
    Meanwhile, her rumoured beau Hamilton is enjoying downtime in Ibiza with 20-year-old tennis-player and heiress Jenny Stray Spetalen and Mexican actress Eiza Gonzalez.
    But Hamilton isn’t the only sports star Shakira appears to be getting close to, as she was last week seen on what appeared to be a date with NBA ace Jimmy Butler.
    She 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.
    It comes as the Hips Don’t Lie singer faces a tax probe in Spain.
    Officials confirmed on Thursday a court near Barcelona had agreed to investigate the singer-songwriter for suspected 2018 tax breaches.
    Shakira will return to the Catalan capital again in November for the beginning of her £12.5 million tax evasion trial.

    Ariana splits from husband
    THEY had a whirlwind romance and a fairytale wedding, but Ariana Grande’s marriage hasn’t had a happy ending.

    The Thank U, Next singer has split from her real estate agent husband Dalton Gomez, two years after their wedding.
    Sources in the US have claimed that they separated in January and recently tried to reconcile but failed to make the relationship work.
    Their romance had been strained after she moved to the UK last summer to film the two-movie adaptation of the musical Wicked, in which she will play Glinda.
    He visited her on set last month in a last-ditch attempt to save their marriage, although they have now decided it is over.
    The superstar was spotted without her ring at the Wimbledon men’s singles final on Sunday.
    However, those close to the couple insist they have remained amicable throughout the split.
    A source said: “It has been very hard but they gradually came to the decision together that things weren’t working.
    “They were having issues before she came to London to film for the Wicked movies and now they are concentrating on staying on good terms.
    “Things were always going to be more difficult with Ariana living in London and Dalton back in California.
    “They are still very close and talk on the phone all the time.”
    The last time Ariana was seen wearing her wedding ring was in April at a concert by her co-star Jeff Goldblum.
    She recently deleted her wedding photos from her Instagram page, while Dalton got rid of his account on the site in May.
    They wed in May 2021 at her home in Montecito, California, in front of less than 20 people, after getting together in early 2020.
    She famously sang about him on her 2021 album Positions, in which she documented their racy bedroom antics and said she wanted babies with him.
    Ariana has had a rocky love life, having previously been engaged to comedian Pete Davidson back in 2018.
    Before that she had a two-year relationship with the rapper Mac Miller, who died from an accidental drug overdose just months after they split.
    I’ve only ever heard positive things about Ariana, who seems like a very sweet, talented and genuine person.
    While she’s living in the UK, perhaps a British man can help lift her spirits.

    Shania has already performed 44 shows and has a week left before a break lasting almost two months.
    She will bring the tour to arenas in the UK and Ireland in September before returning to North America for another leg in October.
    The tour follows the success of her sixth album Queen of Me which hit No1 in February and features the singles Waking Up Dreaming and Giddy Up!.
    Here in the UK, she is also having renewed success thanks to her collaboration with Anne-Marie, titled Unhealthy, which reached a new peak of No19 in the charts last week.
    I’ll keep my fingers crossed that it’s added to the setlist when her tour arrives here.

    Sales are being staggered for her 2024 stadium shows following exceptional demand in the US, but passes to some concerts here are already being resold for up to £9,800.
    The listings have appeared on resale sites StubHub and Viagogo, much to the annoyance of fans who have so far been unable to secure tickets through official channels.
    But as a word of warning to anyone desperate enough to fork out an extortionate amount for a second-hand ticket – they aren’t always real.
    There has been a surge in fake tickets being resold online, which can lead to devastation at the gates of the venue.
    With more waves of ticket sales in the next few days for her shows, there should be enough for everyone.

    NO REGULAR HAUNTTHE Haunted Mansion’s premiere will have a dead carpet instead of a red carpet, after it was cancelled due to Hollywood’s actors’ strike.
    The European launch was due to take place next Tuesday but cast members in the Disney movie including Danny DeVito and Jamie Lee Curtis will no longer fly over for it and the event has been axed.
    The world premiere went ahead at Disneyland in Florida at the weekend but those in attendance had to make do with people dressed up as Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Maleficent and Cruella de Vil, as the cast didn’t turn up.
    Actors are striking over streaming services giving an unfair share of profits and due to a lack of rules over AI replacing stars.
    The film is adapted from Disney’s theme park attraction The Haunted Mansion and will be released in cinemas next month, but it could be a box office bomb seeing as the cast can’t promote it.
    I fear it won’t just be The Haunted Mansion feeling the squeeze in what is a worrying time for the movie industry. More

    Faryal tore strips off him after reading The Sun on Sunday’s story two weeks ago of how he begged a model for cheeky pictures and asked her to meet him.
    Now Amir, 36 — whose marriage has been dogged by cheating storms — has revealed he would be willing to see a specialist, admitting he has “made mistakes” and “hurt” his wife.
    Asked if he would attend therapy sessions if Faryal wanted him to, he said: “That question hasn’t been brought up before.
    “But maybe I do need help to stop me from messaging other women.

    “I am willing to go to ­therapy to stop me sending texts to women who aren’t my wife.
    “I think nowadays with mental health issues, any help goes a long way. It’s definitely something I would do. Things like that do help, so maybe it’s something to think about.”
    Faryal confronted him at their home in Dubai earlier this month when she saw our story about Amir begging bridal model Sumaira, 25, for racy pictures and trying to meet up with her.
    He approached her online in May in the run-up to his and Faryal’s 10th wedding anniversary, initially complimenting her on her tattoos.
    Most read in Boxing
    But his messages quickly turned saucy. In one, Amir told Sumaira: “U look good on g string” and suggested she had a boob job.
    Sumaira sent him one snap in clothes showing off her rose-tattooed midriff, to which Amir replied: “Can’t stop looking.”
    In another, he promised to delete any cheeky pictures.
    He asked: “Think I wanna get caught out?”
    Furious Faryal, 31, who shares three children with Amir, hit out at her man over the exchange.
    Amir, who starred in I’m A Celebrity . . .  in 2017 and in the all-star version in South Africa in May, said: “She was disgusted. It’s not a nice thing to do.
    “She was very angry because I shouldn’t be speaking to people like that.
    “She said, ‘If you have a diamond at home, why do you want to mess around with rocks and stones?’
    “It’s not nice what I’ve done. One day my kids will grow up and read this stuff, and it will upset them.
    “I don’t think I was cheating, it was just a few texts. But I regret doing it.
    “I can only apologise to Faryal. People have been messaging her about it, saying, ‘Did you see this article?’ — rubbing it in her face. It’s sad.”
    Amir whisked model Faryal off for a romantic kid-free holiday to Mykonos last week, travelling there by private jet.
    Speaking from the Greek island, he said: “The stupidest thing I did was to comment on this woman’s picture saying ‘nice’.
    “I shouldn’t have done it. I have respect for my wife.
    “I think I do these things out of boredom — I don’t think it’s that I can’t help myself.
    “You get bored and start making mistakes.
    “If I’m not careful, I will get myself into trouble — especially with the wife. She will end up saying, ‘I’ve had enough’.”
    Amir, who won 34 of his 40 career fights, went on: “I’m used to focusing on boxing all the time but now that’s finished, maybe I need to start getting into something again.
    “I want to get back into training and I have been asked to do a few exhibitions. There’s also a few TV shows I want to do.”
    After our story, Amir said Sumaira begged him for £20,000, telling him she was going through a rough patch.

    Amir was exposed after he sent a string of raunchy messages to Sumaira
    Sumaira then accused him of lying in a TikTok video and threatened to reveal more of their messages.
    Faryal lashed out at Sumaira online, saying: “Even when I was single I never gave a guy my number. Let alone a married one. Simple.”
    Speaking to The Sun on Sunday, Sumaira claimed Amir told her in a phone call that he and Faryal “were not properly together” and “that it was a bit of a business arrangement”.
    Bolton-born Amir, who now splits his time between the UK and Dubai, hit back, saying: “Women message you because they know they can get something from you.
    “My missus is my queen and I don’t want to hurt her. Our marriage is great at the moment.”
    Amir, who fought in four weight categories during his time as a professional, retired from boxing in May last year — three months after he lost to Sheffield fighter Kell Brook, 37, in a bout at Manchester’s AO Arena.
    In April this year, he was banned from sport for two years, backdated a year, after performance-enhancing drug ostarine was found to have been in his system on the night of the fight.
    A tribunal accepted Amir’s argument that the violation was not intentional.
    Amir and Faryal starred in BBC series Meet the Khans: Big in Bolton, which finished its third season earlier this year.
    The pair were introduced at a New York restaurant by mutual friends in 2011, and wed two years later in a £1million bash at the city’s Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
    In another ceremony in the UK, ex-Man Utd footballers Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand were among the 4,000 guests.
