Shakira enjoys cosy boat ride with Lewis Hamilton days after they were spotted at secret dinner
Shakira and Lewis Hamilton were spotted enjoying a sunny boat ride together days after being snapped at dinner.
The F1 legend was seen appearing to help the Hips Don't Lie singer onto the open top cruiser as they enjoyed a day out with pals in Miami.
Shakira was picked up from the back of her £16million Miami Beach mansion before cruising around Biscayne Bay.
The 46-year-old sported a fringed lilac bikini top and matching shorts, wearing her famous long wavy hair loose over her shoulders.
She was all smiles as she boarded the vessel which had an inflatable crocodile strapped to the top - and appeared to be greeted by Lewis.
The Mercedes driver, 38, was wearing a white cap, sunglasses, a black sleeveless top and checkerboard shorts - showing off his distinctive tattoos.
Miami is where Shakira now calls home following her bitter split from ex-Barcelona star Gerard Pique.
And their separation has set rumours swirling about Shakira's love life.
But despite being seen hanging out with Lewis - The Sun Online understands the duo are just friends.
The pair had been spotted just days before having dinner together at the lavish restaurant Cipriani.
Lewis, the most successful F1 driver of all time, had been in town for the Miami Grand Prix over the weekend - finishing in 6th place.
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.
It comes after the singer was spotted mingling with Tom Cruise at the Miami Grand Prix on Sunday.
Shakira announced her separation form footballer Gerard Pique last May after spending 11 years together.
The Colombian singer-songwriter was reportedly "evicted" from her Barcelona home by Pique's dad last month, sparking her move back to Miami.
The mum-of-two made no mention of the eviction order in the farewell message she posted on Instagram after being pictured leaving the Catalan capital with her two children to start a new life in Florida.
Shakira and Pique confirmed in November they had reached a child custody agreement after a marathon 12-hour meeting with their lawyers.
They signed the accord at a court in Barcelona the following month.
As part of the agreement Pique, now dating 24-year-old Catalan beauty Clara Chia, will spend holiday time with his children.
Shakira’s wish to move to Miami, where she used to live and where some of of her family are based, is understood to have been the sticking point in the former couple’s previous failure to strike an out-of-court settlement.
The singer came under fire in March after performing her diss track with Argentinian DJ Bizarrap, in which she blasts Pique and his new girlfriend, on the Jimmy Fallon late-night show earlier this month.
The singer's explosive song, left little doubt that she was referring to her former partner and his younger lover.
In the track, she took a swipe at Clara’s age with the lyrics: “I’m worth two 22s. You traded a Ferrari for a Twingo, you traded a Rolex for a Casio.”
Pique responded to the song by turning up to work in an £8,000 Renault Twingo.
He also boasted that his new seven-a-side project the King’s League had landed a sponsorship deal with Casio - adding that the cheaper watch would “last a lifetime”.
Pique said in a subsequent interview with Spanish newspaper El Pais he was “very happy” following the dramatic changes in his life which have included the split with Shakira and retirement from football.
He was spotted late last month romancing his new girlfriend with red roses as the controversial couple holidayed in Dubai.
The pair are believed to be enjoying their first loved-up holiday in the United Arab Emirates since they went public with their relationship.
