Questions are rife regarding the nature of their bond &#8211; whether it&#8217;s a mere friendship or something more profound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jordi Martin, a journalist with strong connections to the Colombian singer after many years of following Shakira&#8217;s career, divulged potential details of the budding romance between the artist and the Formula 1 racer on the TV show &#8220;Amor y Fuego&#8221;. The duo have been spotted together on multiple occasions recently &#8211; dining, yachting with friends, and even at Grand Prix races, where &#8220;kisses and cuddles&#8221; were reportedly exchanged post-race in the paddock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During his appearance on the show, Martin reported that sources close to Shakira had suggested she mentioned wanting to date a &#8216;darker-skinned man&#8217; and not wanting to &#8216;try a white guy&#8217; anymore. He also mentioned that the pair are allegedly taking things slow in their relationship, with their inner circle being privy to the knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>&#8220;I&#8217;ve met some of Shakira&#8217;s close ones this week, and they mentioned that she&#8217;s excited and happy,&#8221; said the photographer.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently, El Pais published snippets from Shakira&#8217;s statements from her possible tax evasion case. In these excerpts, she openly discusses her tumultuous relationship with her former partner Gerard Pique. She acknowledged their lifestyles were akin to &#8216;mixing oil and water&#8217; due to their differing professional schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We had a hard time understanding each other, and I hope this doesn&#8217;t leak to the press. During pregnancy, I worked for 14 hours a day, even performing on stage with my baby bump, which probably looked ridiculous,&#8221; Shakira admitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She further accused the Spanish tax authorities of sexism, insinuating that they assumed Shakira had to relocate to Spain because she had a child with a Spanish partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a backward and somewhat sexist perspective,&#8221; she commented. &#8220;To think that because a woman has a child with a Spaniard, she should automatically adopt the traditional family concept.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She went on to clarify her unwillingness to move to Spain, despite considering it a beautiful country. The reason, she pointed out, was that Spain is not the hub of the music industry, and living there could pose a significant compromise to her professional success, given the limited access to top-tier artistic production primarily available in the United States.<\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The rumoured relationship between Shakira and Lewis Hamilton has undoubtedly been the talk of the town.
