'Sorry we reject this': Internet disapproves of Tom Cruise's alleged courtship with Shakira

Tom Cruise is 'extremely interested in pursuing' the Colombian pop star Shakira

MIAMI, FLORIDA: After the ‘Mission Impossible’ star Tom Cruise and the inaugural Billboard Latino ‘Woman of the Year’ recipient Shakira were spotted spending time at F1 Miami Grand Prix 2023, rumors have it that the ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ actor is “extremely interested in pursuing” the Grammy winner. After her break up with Pique in June 2022, Shakira is single and has relocated to Miami from Barcelona. Cruise is also reportedly single now after his break up from ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ costar Hayley Atwell.

As a source divulged to Page Six, “He is extremely interested in pursuing her,” before adding, “There is chemistry.” The source further added, “Shakira needs a soft pillow to fall on, and that could be Tom,” referring to Shakira’s devastation following Pique’s alleged cheating with Clara Chia Marti, who is currently his girlfriend.

The source also advocated for Cruise being a good choice for the ‘Hips Don’t Lie’ singer as he is “a nice-looking guy, and he is talented.” They further joked, “And she isn’t taller than him,” referring to the heights of the two stars where Tom Cruise is 5’7” and Shakira is 5’2”. Another source tells the same outlet that Cruise liked the rendezvous so much that he even sent Shakira flowers after the meeting. The two global superstars have been photographed together in the racing grid and chatting in the private box. 

'It doesn't matter so much if someone is faithful or not'

While what Shakira is feeling towards this latest romantic chapter of her life is not known, she is definitely basking in self-love as it is evident from her ‘Latin Woman of the Year’ acceptance speech at the Billboard Latin Awards. The ‘Waka Waka’ singer was heard saying, "There comes a time in every woman's life when she no longer depends on someone to love or accept herself as she is," before she continued, "The search for the other is replaced by the search for oneself when the desire to be perfect is replaced by the desire to be authentic," reported Marca.

The mother-of-two then added, "It is a year in which I have realized that women are much stronger than we think," before elaborating, "We are braver than we think we are. I think we are also more independent than we were taught to be.” The ‘Queen of Latin Music’ also included in her inspiring speech, “It doesn't matter so much if someone is faithful or not, what really matters is if you continue to be faithful to yourself.”

'Scientology is extremely interested in Shakira’s money'

The Internet did not like the 'Top Gun: Maverick' star's persuasion of Shakira about whom the netizens have become very protective since her nasty breakup with Pique. One fan said blatantly, "Sorry we reject this on her behalf thanks." Another added, "Yeah Scientology Boy very publicly has a child he has had no contact with for most of her life and a fleet of lawyers hired to keep women chained to him like wow yikes no the last one needed her lawyer dad and burner phones." The third even compared Cruise with an antagonist from James Bond movies, "Him pursuing a woman has Bond Villain vibes."

Another firmly said, "STAY AWAY FROM HER." Another was found quoting, "pursuing" Are they in a high speed chase?" To which a social media user wrote, "He’s still in mission impossible mode." Another commented pragmatically, "He can't help himself." Some even used some hilarious GIFs to mark the occasion. One used a GIF with the quote "SWIM AWAY."

Another similarly used a GIF with the quote, "You in danger, girl," referring to Shakira. Someone else commented, "You mean, Scientology is extremely interested in Shakira’s money." "Well he is…different. As long as he understands she’s available for dinner but maybe not church. #Shakira #TomCruise," commented another.
