Shakira was kissed on the cheek by retired tennis player Justin Gimelstob as she watched the Miami Open tennis final in the VIP section on Sunday.

The Colombian singer, 47, watched courtside as Jannik Sinner from Italy defeated Grigor Dimitrov from Bulgaria in the men’s single finals of the Florida tournament.

American sportsman Justin, also 47, wore a light blue polo shirt greeted Shakira by giving her a kiss on the cheek as she watched the match from the same VIP box as English tennis star Annabel Croft.

She looked chic for her day out in double denim, sporting a zip-up cream corset, and a white mini-skirt as she fondly greeted the former ATP director, who stepped down from his prestigious role following his 2019 conviction of assault.

Her warm greeting with Justin will no doubt set tongues wagging as the meeting comes amid dating rumours surrounding the songstress and Emily In Paris star Lucien Laviscount, after he starred in her recent music video.

Meanwhile, Justin found himself embroiled in controversy within the tennis community following his decision to step down from his role as a director on the main ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals) Board back in 2019. His resignation came amidst a wave of criticism from prominent figures in the sport, including Andy Murray and Stan Wawrinka, who argued that Justin and his supporters had no place in the governance of the game.

The controversy stemmed from a legal battle that culminated in Justin being sentenced to three years’ probation and 60 hours of community service by a Los Angeles judge. The sentence came as part of a plea deal in which Justin pleaded ‘no contest’ to a charge of brutal assault on venture capitalist Randall Kaplan on Halloween night.

Following the verdict, Justin made the decision to resign, recognizing that his continued involvement in tennis would only serve as a distraction and a liability. In a statement, he expressed remorse for the mistakes he had made and acknowledged his responsibility for the situation.

Meanwhile, Shakira’s recent public appearance comes amid speculation about her romantic life, particularly her rumored relationship with Lucien. The singer fueled rumors further by enjoying a dinner date with Kerry Katona’s ex-boyfriend, Lucien, and later featuring him in her latest music video for the single “Punteria.”

While Shakira’s love life has been hitting headlines, Justin’s private life was previously made public back in 2018 when he was convicted of assault and later stepped down as ATP director  (pictured with his estranged wife Cary Kendall Sinnott in 2013)

The music video, released in mid-March, caused quite a stir among fans as they were surprised to see the 31-year-old “Emily In Paris” star, Lucien, sharing intimate scenes with the 47-year-old singer, Shakira.

Lucien, who previously had a fling with Kerry Katona after meeting her on “Celebrity Big Brother” in 2011, showcased his toned physique by going shirtless to portray a centaur struck by Shakira’s arrow in the video.

In one scene, Shakira’s character tended to Lucien’s wounds in a suggestive manner, running her hands over his body as she cleaned off his injury. The chemistry between the two was palpable as they shared the screen.

Following the conclusion of the song’s second chorus, Shakira changed into a pink cut-out bodysuit and continued performing alongside backup singers, adding to the vibrant energy of the video.

Later on, Shakira donned a pink dress and was joined by a healed Lucien as they sat together in the center of a giant flower, engaging in tender caresses, further intensifying the romantic undertones of the video.

The final chorus of the song was kicked off by Cardi B, who appeared in the video caring for and feeding several other centaurs, adding her own unique flair to the captivating visual narrative.

In the closing scene of the video, Shakira took aim and shot an arrow into the distance, effectively sending the group of centaurs back into space, bringing the visual narrative to a dramatic conclusion.

Before his encounter with Shakira and following his stint on Celebrity Big Brother, Lucien went on to portray Emily’s love interest in the popular Netflix series “Emily In Paris.”

The Burnley-born actor, whose career started as a child model for Marks & Spencer at the age of ten, has garnered attention as a potential candidate to portray James Bond, with many considering him the perfect age for the role.

Regarding their collaboration on the track, Shakira and Cardi B recently discussed their work together in an interview with Billboard. Shakira revealed that she had always envisioned Cardi B being a part of the song and had planned to reach out to her for a potential collaboration.

“We were always discussing internally if it was a good idea to put someone on this song. I always pictured Cardi on this song. I reached out, and here we are,” Shakira explained.

Cardi B expressed her excitement about collaborating with Shakira, stating that it had been a dream of hers for a long time. “I knew this day would come. It came…I don’t care if she wants me to meow — I’m doing it. I cannot wait. Seriously, that is my dream,” she exclaimed.
