But his unshakable religious sentiments have often been deemed to be the root cause of a number of controversies surrounding Cruise, especially in his personal and married life. The actor and producer has been a devoted member of the Church of Scientology for nearly four decades now, courtesy of his first wife Mimi Rogers, who introduced him to the religion. “He is extremely interested in pursuing her,” the insider claimed, remarking how the Oscar-winning actor could be the “soft pillow” that Shakira needs to fall on at the moment. “There is chemistry,” a source reported to Page Six after Cruise, 60, and Shakira, 46, were spotted together at the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Miami during the weekend. So, when a Hollywood delight named Tom Crusie swooped into the life of a now-single Shakira with alleged flowers and charming smiles, rumors about a potential romance blooming between the two naturally followed. To say the singer has been rendered crestfallen would be an understatement.

It certainly didn’t help that Gerard Piqué had reportedly been cheating on her while they were still together and the soccer star is currently dating the woman he had an affair with. Parting ways with a long-term partner after over a decade of dating them would take a toll on anybody, and Shakira didn’t just have a relationship with her ex-boyfriend, she also shares two sons with him.

Nothing cures a fresh heartbreak like a dosage of brand-new romance, and sources claim Shakira is doing just that.
