SHAKIRA and Lewis Hamilton “have something more than friendship” after the pop star shared a studio picture following a “secret Ibiza meet up”.Rumours have been swirling online that the Waka Waka singer and F1 racer were dating after they have been spotted getting cosy at a string of events in recent months.

The pair are said to be in a situation that is “more than friendship” but Jodi Martin, a journalist well-acquainted with Shakira, recently attempted to clarify the information circulating about the alleged “relationship”.
“I would like to deny an information that has come out in a Catalan newspaper, where they say that Hamilton is tired of Shakira’s attitude,” Martin said.
“I can categorically deny this information because I have spoken to Shakira’s entourage and they confirm that between Shakira and Hamilton, there has always been a beautiful friendship.
“And that, between them there has been something more than friendship. The two knew very clearly that there was nothing serious and that there was total freedom between them to do whatever they wanted,” she added.

According to an insider, Shakira and Hamilton enjoyed three secret meetings at her Ibiza villa late last month.
Paparazzo Sergio Garrido told Spanish TV channel Telecinco that the pair met “three times in the Ibiza villa” where Shakira was staying earlier this month during a break in the F1 season.
“When the workers left, the singer stayed alone with her private escort and received a visit from Hamilton,” he said.
Garrido also claimed that Hamilton’s driver overheard the pilot’s “constant conversations” with the Latina singer.

But these aren’t the only times that the alleged couple have enjoyed each other’s company.
Shakira watched from the Mercedes team’s VIP area as the seven-times champ, 38, sped to a podium finish on his home circuit at Silverstone last 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 around 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.
Shakira’s repeated rendezvous with the F1 star also caused a stir in the same month when they enjoyed a dinner together at the lavish Miami restaurant Cipriani.
Smiling at each other, Shakira appeared to join 92-time race winner Lewis and pals at his table in a short video snapped by a fan.
Meanwhile, her rumoured beau Hamilton was spotted 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 month 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.
In her most recent romantic sighting two weeks ago, eagle-eyed fans spotted the Hips Don’t Lie singer taking a dip in a river with Latino singer Rauw Alejandro.
She and the singer were pictured bathing in Puerto Rico – with Alejandro just coming out of his split from pop star fiancée Rosalía.
But while seemingly ignoring the swarm of swirling dating rumours the pop icon shared a snap on Instagram of her posing in a Los Angeles recording studio.
With her back facing the camera and her long locks draped down her shoulder, she looked back casually while captioning: “Studio vibes in LA!”
Meanwhile, Shakira’s ex-Gerard Pique has moved with his new lover Clara Chia, 24, into the couple’s old mansion, an insider claimed.
