A source close to Cruise says "there is chemistry" between the actor and the musician and that Cruise would like to "pursue" Shakira. The source also mentioned Shakira needed a "soft pillow to fall back on" after her difficult split from her longtime partner, Gerard Pique.
How Did A Jar of Jam Allegedly Help Shakira Find Out About Her Ex Cheating?
Soccer superstar Gerard Pique ad Shakira was together for 12 years after they met at the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The pair spent many happy years together and welcomed two children. However, their fairytale recently came to an end. It all started with a jam jar.

Shakira shared that she had been away on a trip, and when she arrived back, she noticed that the jam jar in the refrigerator was emptier than when she left. Being the only one in the house who eats jam, Shakira wondered how the jam supply had diminished.
The songstress said she knew then that Pique had been cheating on her while she was away. In an interview, Shakira lamented:
"I guess that it happens to all of us once in a while, you know? As women, that you think you're in a real relationship, and then it's not as real as it seems."

After she left her longtime partner, she began writing new music related to their split. In one of her music videos, she opens the fridge to find a man's head inside. She mentioned she had been looking in the refrigerator for "the truth" in the video.
The song also shaded both Pique and his new girlfriend, who is in her early twenties. The song became immediately popular on social media and began climbing the Billboard charts soon after its release.
Shakira said that music brought her light during one of the darkest times in her life. She likened her separation from Pique to drowning and said she stayed quiet about it for a while to give herself a chance to process everything.

However, the songstress knew that she was not the only person who was being affected by the separation. She confessed:
"It's hard to talk about it, especially because I'm still going through it, and because I'm in the public eye, and because our separation is not like a regular separation. And so it's been tough not only for me but also for my kids."
The songstress admitted there were paparazzi outside her house constantly, and she could not hide her children. She felt upset that she could not do things like take her children for a walk in the park or get ice cream without people snapping photos of them.

Shakira also tried hard to protect her children from the situation by concealing specific details from them. However, she could not stop them from hearing things from school or their friends because other children had seen the news online.
While she is upset that her children are being subjected to other children talking about their lives, Shakira says the thing that upsets her most is that the sanctity of her relationship with her children's father is now permanently ruined.
The singer admitted she kept hoping she would wake up one day to find this way all a bad dream, but she knew it was real and something she and her family had to deal with in an authentic way.
Apart from her relationship falling apart and trying to protect her children, Shakira was also dealing with her father fighting for his life in ICU. The thing that gives her strength is knowing there are women worldwide going through what she is going through or worse.
Just months after Shakira and Pique publicly announced their separation, he took to social media to share a photo of himself and his new girlfriend. In late January this year, Pique shared a photo of himself and his 23-year-old girlfriend, much to fans' disgust. Some left disappointed emojis as others shared their unhappy thoughts with words.
