Since Shakira set foot in Miami (USA) last April, her life has completely changed. The Colombian artist is in ‘reborn’ mode and doing her best so that her new life has nothing to do with what she lived in Barcelona or with Gerard Piqué.
A renewed Shakira, single and enjoying the social life of the favorite coastal city of celebrities, so it was logical that suitors would not be lacking. Actors, presenters, athletes… The last one, apparently, would be Jimmy Butler, star of the Miami Heat, whom the one from Barranquilla has already gone to see different games. At the moment Shakira neither confirms nor denies the rumors about her, but her recently recovered love of basketball has even led her to dedicate Stories to her soul team. Specifically, a peculiar “acrostic”. Or maybe she is sending another type of message?
Let’s remember that Acrostic is the title of Shakira’s new single, which she dedicates to her two children, Milan and Sasha, the result of her relationship with Gerard Piqué; but it should also be remembered that an acrostic is a poetic composition made up of verses whose initial, middle or final letters form a word or phrase. In this case, “heat”, (Heroic Extraordinary Awesome Team / Héroico Extraordinario Increible Equipo in its English translation) we assume that in honor of the Miami Heat.
A dedication that the Colombian would possibly write after the team’s victory against the Boston Celtics last Monday night with a masterful 103-84, which leads them directly to being able to aspire to the NBA title. A game in which by the way Jimmy Butler became the team’s most valuable player, scoring no less than 28 points.
The artist has always been very fond of sports, and it must be said that it was common to see her on the pitch with Piqué and her children watching ACB matches when she lived in Spain. However, her recent interest in the Miami Heat, the fact that both Butler and she have followed each other on Instagram … They have only fueled the rumors of a possible interest in something beyond a simple friendship.
At 33 years old, Jimmy Butler is one of the most sought-after players in the NBA for his versatility, and during his career he has also triumphed with teams like the Chicago Bulls. His story, however, is not like the others. After his mother kicked him out of the house, the Lambert family came into his life and would change everything. He was adopted and devoted himself fully to basketball, his great passion.
With their support and great effort, Butler was selected for the NBA, beginning his professional career with the Chicago Bulls in 2011. The rest is history: Butler had two years of 23 points per game in the playoffs with the Bulls, scored the Timberwolves among the eight best in the West after thirteen years without reaching the final phase and was the benchmark in the Sixers Playoffs in a sensational tie against the Raptors.
Since 2019 he has been playing with the Miami Heat, from where he shows that he is one of the best basketball players in the world. Among his achievements is the gold medal of the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games, in addition to being a 6-time NBA All-Star (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2020 and 2022).
