Hold up: We heard Shakira was dating Jimmy Butler. Now there appears to be someone new
What happened to Jimmy Butler?
The last we heard about Shakira’s love life was that the pop star was hanging out with the Miami Heat baller.
Now we hear there may be someone completely new and unexpected in Shak’s orbit.
The Colombiana got people talking when she was photographed leaving the same party in Hollywood (not the Florida one) within minutes of Drake early Sunday.
But perhaps it was just a coincidence that the two superstar singers happened to be exiting right around the same time (just around 3:30 a.m.).

Because since her headline-making split with Gerard Pique, the Miami resident seems to be smartly keeping her options way open.
We are OK with whatever she does, as long as she keeps it in the 305. But we wholeheartedly approve of Drake, who is a frequent visitor here, often parking his massive blue private jet to trumpet his arrival, and renting out large venues for parties for all his friends.
The native Canadian is such a fan of SoFi Italian eatery Carbone that he mentioned it in his 2018 hit “Do Not Disturb.” Most recently, Drake’s candle company, Better World Fragrance House, asked the folks at Carbone to develop an exclusive recipe for his BW recipe series.
At 36, the rapper is a bit closer to Shakira’s age, while Butler is 33. Plus they have that whole music thing in common.
But there’s one thing that Jimmy has that Drake doesn’t, and that would be home court advantage.
