Jimmy Butler and Shakira are they dating?
Regarding allegations that he is dating Shakira, Jimmy Butler has commented.
In a statement to Rolling Stone, the NBA player criticized the press for fabricating stories and clarified that they are just friends.
He added that the passion of basketball shared by the singer’s son was another reason why they connected.
The 34-year-old athlete said, “She’s an incredible human being and an incredible talent, but you never know what people are doing so people just make stuff up.”
After being seen together in Miami in July, Shakira and Butler fueled dating speculations.
Butler told the site that just because they are friends and she lives in Miami and her sons are big basketball fans, it doesn’t always mean that they are dating.
Milan, 9, and Sasha, 7, are the singer’s sons from a previous relationship with Gerard Pique.
“Just because someone hang together doesn’t necessarily indicate that they are dating. However, it gives everyone something to speak about, so seize the opportunity and run with it. She’s very, very cool and that’s all I got!” he added.
After their encounter, Us Weekly stated that the pair had become “closer,” noting that the mother-of-two was “really enjoying getting to know him on a deeper level.”
