Shakira has been confidently flaunting her independence since her breakup with Gerard Piqué. She has been linked to F1 racer Lewis Hamilton, and showed off her single status during her appearance at Miami’s Grand Prix F1 Race in May.
During the weekend of May 6-7, Miami attracted a plethora of famous personalities including celebrities, socialites, and influencers. They were all in attendance for an exhilarating race where renowned drivers such as Lewis, Carlos Sainz, Fernando Alonso, Charles Leclerc, and others participated against each other. Max Verstappen, a native of Belgium, ultimately emerged as the winner and claimed the top prize.
During the recent big race event, various celebrities were spotted, such as Nick Jonas, Ludacris, Roger Federer, Serena Williams, Patrick Mahomes, Vin Diesel, and more. One of the notable attendees was Tom Cruise, whom the famous singer Shakira was seen having a deep conversation with. Although both stars are still officially single, their interaction sparked rumors about a possible romantic relationship between the two. This happened several months after Shakira’s partner, Gerard Piqué, was revealed to be in a relationship with Clara Chia, who was also mentioned in Shakira’s new music.
Those who love the music of the famous Colombian singer will surely recall her amazing outfit that exuded a sporty vibe. It consisted of a mesh, low-cut bodysuit in an army green shade, featuring side cut-outs and paired with matching track pants. She completed her look with a pair of oversized Loewe glasses and styled her long red hair into waves. On the other hand, Tom appeared laid-back and stylishly casual, sporting a white polo shirt and his hair looking more tousled than usual. He also wore a pair of large sunglasses to accessorize his look.
Tonight’s spotlight will be on the renowned singer as she graces the MTV Video Music Awards stage to perform a spectacular medley of her all-time hits. She will also be bestowed with the prestigious Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, and her fans are excitedly anticipating whether her sons will accompany her on stage. Many are curious if she will address her separation from Piqué, as this is her first appearance at this renowned event since the news broke. It’s worth noting that just before her performance at the F1 race in May, she attended the Billboard Latin Women in Music Gala in 2023, where she was awarded the Mujer del Año title. The mother-of-two looked stunning in a form-fitting black dress with a thigh slit and paired it with elegant black heels.
During the award acceptance speech, the speaker shared her experiences with unfaithfulness, loyalty, and womanhood. She mentioned that being faithful to oneself is more important than someone else’s faithfulness. She also credited music for helping her find her way back to herself during difficult times.
During her speech, she expressed that every woman reaches a point in her life where she doesn’t need someone else’s validation to love and accept herself as she is. The focus shifts from seeking others to discovering oneself, prioritizing authenticity over perfection. She ended on a positive note, stating that women possess more strength, bravery, and independence than they may realize or have been taught to believe.
As a woman, it’s common to seek attention, affection, or validation from others and neglect our own needs. I confess that I’ve been through this myself.
