As their public appearances continue, an insider shared with PEOPLE that the singer and Formula One driver is fostering a dynamic that is "fun and flirty."

The source, who has knowledge of both individuals, revealed that they are presently spending time together, navigating the early stages of getting to know each other.

People reached out to representatives of Shakira and Hamilton for comment, but no immediate response was received.

This revelation follows Shakira's attendance at the F1 Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona, Spain, where Hamilton competed for Mercedes and secured a second-place finish. The Colombian artist and the British racing driver were later seen socializing together after the event.

They enjoyed dinner and drinks in the company of mutual friends, including Daniel Caesar, Fai Khadra, and Mustafa. A photo from the outing was shared on Mustafa's Instagram Story, capturing the gathering.

In a recently captured image, Lewis Hamilton was seen seated beside Shakira, his arm comfortably around her waist, as the group displayed joyful expressions while enjoying their cocktails.

Meanwhile, in the previous month, Shakira was observed spending time with Hamilton and their friends during a boat outing in Miami following her attendance at the 2023 Grand Prix.

Her appearance at the Miami Grand Prix occurred just one day after she received Billboard's inaugural Woman of the Year award at the Latin Women in Music gala.

During her acceptance speech, she seemingly shared her reflections on her highly publicized separation from former partner Gerard Piqué.

"In this past year, my life has undergone a significant transformation, where I have experienced, on a personal level, the true essence of being a woman," she expressed to the audience as she graciously accepted her award.

"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," Shakira continued.

"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," she added.

In June 2022, Shakira made the announcement of her separation from the soccer star, with whom she had confirmed her relationship back in March 2011.

On the other hand, since his split from longtime girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger in 2015, Hamilton has been associated with several prominent women, including Rita Ora and Nicki Minaj.
