Female singer Shakira is said to have no interest in dating actor Tom Cruise after meeting earlier this month even though Tom earnestly pursued her.
Magazine Heat quoted sources saying Shakira begged Tom to stop flirting with her and the 46-year-old singer found it too much in response to questions about whether she would date the Mission Impossible star. “Shakira didn’t want to embarrass or upset Tom, but there was no attraction or romance on her part. Shakira only showed friendliness during the meeting. She had a good time but didn’t pay attention to him,” the source said.

According to sources, Shakira and Tom Cruise have known each other for many years, but it wasn’t until they met at the Formula 1 race in Miami on May 7 that the two stars really talked a lot and comfortably spent time together. Tom is said to have expressed shock upon meeting Shakira, likening her to the “woman of his dreams” and it’s similar to how the actor behaved when he first met his ex-wife Katie Holmes.
“He convinced Shakira that they had a real connection to build. People say that Tom told his friends that too, but Shakira’s part is that she doesn’t feel the same way,” the source said.

Previously, Spanish news agency Marca also reported that the Hollywood actor was completely fascinated by Shakira and he confided in friends that there was a chemical reaction with the singer Waka Waka. Another source also revealed on Page Six that Tom Cruise wanted to pursue Shakira and sent her flowers.
After the news caused a stir, a person close to Shakira said on Us Weekly that the female singer felt The rumors are quite funny, but she has no feelings or plans to go further with Tom Cruise: “She had a great time hanging out with Tom at F1 but has no interest in dating him.”

Shakira is said to not want to love again after breaking up with football player Gerard Piqué and is focusing on herself and her two sons. “Queen of Latin Music” ended his 12-year relationship with Pique last year amid rumors that he was having an affair with Clara Chia Marti – the player’s current girlfriend. Shakira left Spain to settle in the US in April and is trying to build a new life.
Meanwhile, Tom Cruise has experienced three failed marriages. After divorcing Katie Holmes in 2012, the actor did not have any public relationships. The 60-year-old star was rumored to be co-star Hayley Atwell in Mission: Impossible 7 but neither of them confirmed it. Many of Tom Cruise’s past failed relationships were said to be due to the influence of his mysterious Scientology sect. This made fans of Shakira worried and publicly expressed their opposition to the female idol dating the star Top Gun.
