Shakira begs Tom Cruise 'to stop flirting with her' but he keeps approaching her, source
Shakira has told Tom Cruise she has no interest in dating him but he believes she is the right match for him.
The Mission: Impossible star and the Waka Waka hitmaker sparked romance rumours after they were captured together at the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Miami earlier this month.
However, it was later confirmed that the Columbian singer does
not want to date Cruise and is solely "focused on her family" following her
split from ex Gerard Pique.
But an insider close to the situation
told Heat Magazine that Cruise has no intention to give up on Shakira as he
is convinced they had a “special connection.”
The insider said
that the mother-of-two is “begging” Tom Cruise "to stop flirting with her”
as the situation is “too much” for her so soon after her 12-year
relationship with Gerard ended.
Speaking to the publication, the
insider said Cruise was "giddy" when he met Shakira at the event, adding
that the actor feels he acted the same way with with ex-wife Katie Holmes
after their first meeting.
"He came away convinced they had a real connection they needed
to build on," the source said.
The source also said that Cruise
has been telling his close circle all about how he felt after meeting
Shakria but she does not feel the same for the Hollywood hunk.
According
to the outlet, the singer was simply being "friendly" with Cruise and now
the rumours about the romance are "too much" to handle for Shakira.
"She
doesn't want to embarrass or upset him, but there's no attraction or romance
on her part - she was just being friendly. She's flattered but not
interested,” the insider said.
Shakira is said to have sent the message that she is not
interested in dating Crusie "politely" to his team but he does not seem to
have given up on her.
The insider said Cruise has been struggling
for years to to find the "right person," adding that he has "the highest
standards" and won't settle for "second best" in a potential partner.
