Shakira had some familiar looking company as she ventured out for a picturesque cruise along the Miami coastline on Wednesday.
Just hours after crossing paths in a local restaurant, the Colombian star was joined by Formula 1 ace Lewis Hamilton and an entourage of pals as they boarded the yacht outside her $20million waterfront mansion.
Shakira, single following her bitter separation from former FC Barcelona and Spain footballer Gerard Piqué last June, looked relaxed in a breezy lilac co-ord while gingerly following Hamilton, 38, on to its modest deck.
The singer, 46, was seen accepting Hamilton’s offer of a hand, with the decorated Mercedes driver promptly getting to his feet as she climbed aboard.
They were accompanied on the cruise by heavily tattooed American fencer Miles Chamley-Watson, one of Hamilton’s closest friends.

Just hours earlier Shakira turned heads while making her way into Miami’s Cipriani restaurant, where Grand Prix ace Hamilton was dining out with Chamley-Watson and an extended group of friends.
Footage from the night shows Formula One fan Shakira greeting the Mercedes driver, who acknowledges her with a smile as she is ushered past his table.
While the singer is understood to be single following her separation from Piqué, Hamilton has been romantically linked with Brazilian model Juliana Nalu.
The 24-year old – who previously dated rapper Kanye West – has already been seen at the Grand Prix Paddock in Miami and was understood to be with Hamilton at California’s Coachella Music and Arts Festival in May.
However she appeared to be absent on Wednesday, with the driver apparently favouring the company of his close friends as they cruised the Miami coast.

Once everyone was aboard, the boat drifted out onto the water where Shakira, Hamilton and an assortment of friends and crewmembers soaked up the sun.
The late afternoon outing comes after she reportedly ‘laughed off’ recent claims that Hollywood star Tom Cruise is interested in dating her.
The pair were seen in Miami this past weekend at the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Miami, where they posed for photos together.
An insider originally told Page Six that the actor, 60, ‘is extremely interested in pursuing’ Shakira as ‘there is chemistry’ between the pair.
But sources have since played down the claims, telling US Weekly: ‘Shakira had a great time hanging out with Tom at F1 but she has no interest in dating him.’
