Sources said, "They have been out a few times, but things are very new and it's too early to tell if there's long-term potential there. Jimmy makes Shakira smile, and she feels happy spending time with him." She and Butler "have only known each other for a short while, and just recently started following each other on social media." The 'She Wolf' hitmaker was previously linked to Lewis Hamilton and Tom Cruise.
