Shakira she is free and beautiful, but o Tom Cruise he wants to “conquer” her heart. There are many “suitors” who “besiege” the famous singer, but Cruz seems to be ahead in this race of… claim.

After all, as it became known, Shakira and Cruz met at the F1 Grand Prix in Miami and it seems that they had a great time together. An insider told Page Six that Tom Cruise is very interested in Shakira. “There is chemistry between them,” he said.

Shakira, who split from Gerard Pique last year, would like a prop by her side, according to the same person. “Shakira needs a ‘soft pillow’ to fall on and that could be Tom,” he says, noting that Tom Cruise is a talented and nice guy.

Another advantage, according to the publication, that Tom Cruise has over Shakira’s ex, is his height! The source joked saying: “And she’s not taller than him.”

A “smitten” Cruz reportedly sent the Colombian singer flowers, while they were seen spending time together at the start of the race and in a private hospitality suite.

Shakira and Pique were together for 12 years and have two children. The breakup was difficult for Shakira, who said of the matter: “It was difficult not only for me, but also for my children. Incredibly difficult. All I can say is that I put everything into this relationship.”

As for Tom Cruise, the actor has three children from previous relationships and was most recently linked to co-star Hayley Atwell. The two reportedly split for good last year.

So what does the future hold for Shakira and Cruz? Only time will tell, but it’s clear the actor is ready to… flirt.
