They thought this could be significant because Shakira only follows 159 individuals in total. Her son Milan "wore a Jimmy Butler costume for Halloween," while his brother Sasha went as LeBron James, as per reports.
However, given that he and model Kaitlin Nowak are said to have been dating since 2019, it seems doubtful that this story is much more than that. The couple keeps their private life quiet, only sometimes posting pictures of themselves or their daughter, Rylee Butler, as reported by Sun.
Shakira has been associated with other celebrities in recent weeks after her highly publicized breakup with former Barcelona player Gerard Pique in June. After the two were photographed together at the most recent Miami Grand Prix, rumors about her relationship with Hollywood icon Tom Cruise, 60, quickly gained currency, as per reports.

Unfortunately for him, she had reportedly been "pleading with him to stop flirting with her," according to a story from Heat magazine, as reported by Sun.

However, there are still more speculations about the singer's love life since she has also been associated with Lewis Hamilton, a 38-year-old Formula 1 champion. They recently went out to eat together, and a few days later, he picked her up in his opulent yacht from her $14.8 million Miami estate. However, reports have previously said that they are still simply pals. In June 2022, Shakira and Gerard Piqué made their breakup official. In 2011, a Spanish soccer player and a Colombian singer started dating. They spent 11 years together, as reported by Insider.
