This comes as shocking news as Shakira was reportedly romancing Formula 1 driver Hamilton just last month as rumors swirled around them.

This news also comes one year after Shakira’s highly-publicized split with Gerard Piqué, with whom she shares two sons. The former couple went their separate ways last June after 11 years together.

Shakira and Gerard confirmed to E! News in a joint statement. “For the well-being of our children, who are our highest priority, we ask that you respect their privacy,” they said in a joint statement at the time. “Thank you for your understanding.”

Gerard has since found love again with Clara Chia Marti.

For Butler, he has only been connected to former ESPN reporter Rachel Nichols, but that has only been rumors on social media by trolls who would like to believe the two of them had a fling while in the NBA bubble back in Orlando in 2020.

E! News has reached out to reps for Shakira and Jimmy and has not heard back.

Mavericks No Show in NBA Finals Game 1 Against Celtics Leads to Unexpected Drop in Viewership

The 2024 NBA Finals clash was expected to be exciting between the Dallas Mavericks and Boston Celtics, but the same didn’t show in numbers. According to Sports Media Watch’s reports, Thursday night’s game recorded an average of 5.7 rating and 10.99 million viewers on ABC, which is the least views any Finals Game 1 has registered since 2007.

Both ratings and viewership dropped 5% compared to the 2023 Finals Game 1. Last year, the Nuggets and Heat captured 6.0 and 11.58 million on ABC and ESPN2, whereas the Warriors and Celtics successfully brought in 6.4 and 11.90 million in 2022.

Considering the huge followers that the Celtics have and the growing fan base that Mavs’ Luka Doncic is acquiring day by day with his exceptional performance, much higher numbers were anticipated for the final matchup.

One reason could be the Cs’ dominance, outscoring the Western team by 21 points in the first half. This upset the Mavs fans and the Boston rival fans, who didn’t wait up to watch the Dallas team get beaten by 89-107.
