“Get away from her” and “stay away from her” are literally trending on Twitter right now following reports that Tom Cruise is interested in pursuing a relationship with Shakira.
Cruise, 60, and Shakira, 46, were photographed hanging out together at the Miami Grand Prix on the weekend, with a source telling Page Six:
‘He is extremely interested in pursuing her. There is chemistry.
He’s a nice-looking guy, and he is talented. And she isn’t taller than him.’
Sneaky dig about Tom Cruise’s height there from this ‘source’. Although I’m pretty sure most of his wives/girlfriend have been taller than him (even with lifts in his shoes), so I’m not sure that’s ever an issue for a guy like Tom Cruise.
Last year, Shakira endured a very public and humiliating break-up with husband-of-12-years Gerard Pique, after she caught him cheating on her. What better way to bounce back than by hooking up with the infinitely richer, infinitely more famous, infinitely more charismatic Maverick himself?
According to Page Six, Tom even sent her flowers following their day out together at the races. How romantic! Reaction online has been mostly negative:
Scientology is interested in Shakira. That’s for sure.

So… Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman, Katie Holmes, Penelope Cruz, and now Shakira? Hell of a track record, you have to admit. Would Shakira and her kids have to join the Church of Scientology if this ever got serious? Does Tom Cruise need permission from the Church in order to pursue these romantic conquests in the first place?
Would be a bit odd, but this is Tom Cruise we’re talking about – the guy who Thandie Newton says instantly grew a zit on his nose after he got ‘stressed out’ on set. Freaky sh*t indeed.
