Shakira has reignited rumours she is dating Formula 1 racing driver Lewis Hamilton after the pair were spotted looking rather cosy for the second time in a week.

The Hips Don't Lie star, who split from her footballer ex Gerard Pique in June last year, attended the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona last Sunday, which saw former world champion Lewis finish runner-up.

Later in the day they were spotted stepping out for a meal together, which was reported as a one-off meeting of friends in some quarters.

However, fast forward a few days and the duo were at it again - this time with Lewis snapped picking the Colombian beauty up in a speedboat from her home in Miami, Florida.

Although a third-party was present in the form of Lewis' pal, Miles Chamley-Watson, speculation is now growing that the two high-profile celebs are romantically involved.

A source close to the duo told People they were "growing closer".

"They're spending time together and in the 'getting to know you' stage. It's fun and flirty," the source explained.

Shakira, 46, meanwhile, recently offered a cryptic clue herself into where her mind and heart are at, as she told Mexican newspaper, Milenio: "I'm rediscovering the material I'm made of and also wanting to find that."

Seven-time champion Lewis, 38, could have some competition on his hands though as speculation has also been rife surrounding the songstress' friendship with actor Tom Cruise.

The friends were spotted at another Grand Prix race - this time close to Shakira's home in Miami.

Top Gun star Tom is believed to be "extremely interested" in hooking up, with the pair having a so-called "chemistry" together.

However, a family friend of Shakira has played down chances of them dating. Ana Lourdes Martinez told Page Six : "When friends are in Miami, they get together. The press wants to create a romance, but she’s known Tom for a long time. She’s focused on her family."

Her comment came after a source told the same publication: "Shakira needs a soft pillow to fall on, and that could be Tom," before adding that he is "a nice-looking guy, and he is talented."

The rumours come just days after Shakira accepted Billboard's first Woman of the Year award.

During her acceptance speech, she seemed to reference her split from Gerard.

"This has been a year of seismic change in my life where I've felt more than ever — and very personally — what it is to be a woman.

"It's been a year where I've realized we women are stronger than we think, braver than we believed, more independent than we were taught to be," she told the audience.

Shakira added: "Because what woman hasn't at some time in her life forgotten herself because she's seeking the attention and love of someone else? It happened to me, more than once."
