Shakira fans have given a stern warning to Tom Cruise to "stay away" after it was revealed he is "extremely interested in pursuing" the singer.
A source has said there is "chemistry" between Shakira and Tom, after they were spotted together in Miami over the weekend at the Formula 1 Grand Prix.
The pair were seen chatting in a private hospitality suite at the Miami International Autodrome and Tom even sent Shakira flowers, according to reports.
However, the singer's fans have shown they are very protective over her and have taken to Twitter to share their disapproval of any potential romance.
One person warned: "STAY AWAY FROM HER," while another jokingly asked: "Who's going to rescue Shakira?"
A third fan tweeted: "Girl, run… in the other direction. You can do way better."
Other fans were more accepting, with one person urging Tom: "Ask her out now."
"They’d be a cute couple," another fan insisted, while someone else said: "LOVE IT."
After the pair were seen together, a source opened up about Tom's feelings for Shakira and said: "He is extremely interested in pursuing her. There is chemistry."
"Shakira needs a soft pillow to fall on, and that could be Tom," the source told Page Six, before adding that he is "a nice-looking guy, and he is talented."
"And she isn’t taller than him," they joked.
The Hollywood icon is five foot seven, while Grammy award winner Shakira is five foot two.
Tom is the father of three children - Isabella, 30, and Connor, 28, with ex-wife Nicole Kidman and Suri, 17, with ex-wife Katie Holmes.
Shakira and Gerard Pique were together for more than a decade and share two children - Sasha, eight, and Milan, 10.
They announced their shock breakup in June last year after 12 years together. Gerard has since moved on with Clara Chia Marti, 24.
The Hips Don't Lie hitmaker recently opened up about the breakup and says she has come out of it feeling "strengthened".
Shakira said she had previously bought into the "story" that a woman needs a man but claimed: "I now feel complete because I depend on myself."
