Shakira and the viral 'photo' with Hamilton which has social media going mad

Rumours of romance between Shakira and Lewis Hamilton have caused an earthquake on social media. The Sun recently claimed that the couple were spotted at celebrity bar Tape London and stayed out until the following morning. They were allegedly present at the venue, sitting together at a VIP table and chatting regularly. Shakira left the venue at around 3.30am. However, Hamilton was eager to enjoy the night more and stayed out clubbing until 6am before returning to his hotel.

Social media have decided to take it a step further and a photograph went viral which is not real, but in a humorous tone has given more strength to the rumours of romance between the Colombian and the British driver.

Apparently, in the picture, the duo took a selfie for the first time. The user further certified them as the "couple of the year". The user claimed that Shakira had arrived in London, not only to cheer on the Mercedes superstar, but also to help record music for his new album.

"Shakira's first selfie with Lewis Hamilton leaked," wrote the user. "This week Shakira spent time with him in London while also recording music for her new album. Definitely the couple of the year."

However, it doesn't take long to realise that the photo was a fabrication
