The snap comes as Shakira continues to spend time with Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton in recent weeks.

Lewis is reportedly in a ‘love triangle’ with the songstress and Hollywood actor Tom Cruise.

The driver, 38, has been spotted with the singer numerous times since her split from ex-partner Gerard Piqué, 36, last year.

As well as enjoying boat trips together with pals in Miami the pair also dined in Barcelona after Lewis’ second place at the country’s Grand Prix last week.

But according to The Mirror action star Tom, 60, has had his ‘pride dented’ after Shakira seemingly rejected his advances to globe trot with ‘buddy’ Lewis.

A source told the publication the Top Gun star believed he and the singer ‘had incredible chemistry and taking it as a slam dunk they’d be dating in no time’.

Meanwhile another source told Radar Online ‘It was a huge dent to Tom’s ego, it stung all the more because he considers Lewis a buddy.’

MailOnline have contacted reps for Tom, Shakira and Lewis’ reps for comment.

According to Us Weekly, the Hips Don’t Lie singer finds the rumours ‘hilarious’ and despite having a ‘fun’ time with Tom when they met at the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Miami, she has no plans to take things further.

The rumour mill went into overdrive  when the pair were photographed together at the sporting event, with sources claiming that  the A-list actor ‘is extremely interested in pursuing’ Shakira.

However, an insider has now revealed: ‘Shakira had a great time hanging out with Tom at F1 but she has no interest in dating him.’

They went on to explain that the singer is currently taking a dating break after her 11-year relationship with Gerard Pique came to an end in June.

The insider continued: ‘Tom was really nice and she enjoyed his company, but she isn’t focused on dating him or anybody else at the moment. She has a lot on her plate and is focused on her kids and career for now.

‘Shakira has seen the online rumors that Tom has been courting her — and how fans are chiming in with their opinions — but she thinks it’s hilarious because it’s just not true. She had a fun time when they chatted, but that’s as far as things have gone.’
