Shakira is 'unbothered' by age-gap with Jimmy Butler amid romance rumours
Shakira is "happy" spending time with NBA star Jimmy Butler and is not bothered "whatsoever" by their 13-year age-gap, according to reports.
The 46-year-old singer is thought to have been on several dates with Jimmy, 33, and they were recently spotted enjoying a three-hour dinner date at Novikov Restaurant & Bar in London.
A source has said Jimmy knows how to make Shakira laugh, but warned it's early stages for the pair.
"They have been out a few times, but things are very new and it's too early to tell if there's long-term potential there," they said.
The source also noted how the pair's 13-year age difference "doesn’t bother" Shakira "whatsoever."

For now, Shakira and Jimmy are taking things slow and have "only known each other for a short while", with the pair only recently starting to follow one another on social media.
Speaking to Us Weekly, the source also noted how Shakira's sons - Milan, nine, and Sasha, seven - have been "long-time fans of Jimmy".
Since splitting from footballer Gerard Pique, Shakira has also been romantically linked to Tom Cruise and Lewis Hamilton.
The singer-songwriter announced her split from Gerard just last year, having been together for more than a decade. The couple attracted plenty of headlines during their relationship, including claims that Gerard had cheated on Shakira.

Speaking to People, Shakira said her father had travelled to Barcelona to "console" her after she was "consumed with sadness" over her separation.
She said William ended up getting "gravely injured" in an accident during his time there.
The singer continued: "Everything happened at once. My home was falling apart. I was finding out through the press that I had been betrayed while my dad was in the ICU."
Shakira recalled during the interview that she wasn't sure she would "survive" the hardships.
