(UPDATED) SIGHTING: Shakira scopes out Rafa in Miami (watch it)


Rafanatic Shakira was spotted in the front row watching the world's top baller get pushed by Federico Gil in Miami today.

The Portuguese qualifier managed to break Rafa twice but the Spaniard's quality came through, grabbing his 10th consecutive match with a 7-5, 6-3 scoreline. He'll face either Igor Andreev or Stanislas Wawrinka for a spot in the quarterfinals.

This isn't the first time this season the Colombian Grammy Award-winning singer has been spotted rooting on Rafa. She was also spotted giving him a hand in Abu Dhabi back in January.

It's been duly noted, Shakira. We're watching. Closely.

UPDATE: Thanks to Johanne for sending over this video link (read: evidence) of Shakira's behind-the-scenes meet up with a few ballers including Rafa. He gives her a shirt, she offers singing lessons, and she calls him an "animal". Say what?! We're still watching. Closely. CHECK IT -

    Damnit! Shakira is so pretty, I can't even threaten her!

    Please Shakira, stay away from Rafa. Si?

    They'd make a hot couple. I've got a thing for older woman/younger man hook ups.

    Thanks for the pics Johanne.

    Shakira looks super short next to Nole. Rafa looks really cute with the kids; I guess it's because he's a big kid himself. Lopez looks highly doable yet he's reminding me of someone else in the pic though I don't know whom. I might have to go to Miami to investigate.;)

    I must say I'm shocked that Wintour was watching someone's match whose name didn't begin with an R (and end with oger Federer)

    Wintour is mixing business with pleasure in Miami. This from Miami Herald:

    Tennis titan Rafael Nadal was spotted poolside at Four Seasons being photographed by Bruce Weber for a Vogue feature. Says our spy, "He looked great and tanned, sporting a naked torso in true Bruce Weber style."

    Well Anon 12:23, in the video she offers to give him singing lessons in exchange for tennis lessons. What's she planning?

    Once again, which of the Rafa-lunatics is going to take her out especially since she's putting the moves on your Rafa?

    I still think she wanted to say "We all know Rafa's an animal...in the SACK!" Probably bc it's true!! But no chance they're hooking up...she and Feli would make WAAAAAAY more sense.

    Did you say Bruce Weber?! Rafa and BRUCE WEBER?! Yes, yes, YES! Bruce Weber, Rafa and naked torso. Can only be good!
    As for Shakira, the commentators suggested there might be a budding romance between her and Rafa and that they would make beautiful children.

    CC: Nadal could have children with a chimpanzee and they'd still be beautiful.

    P.S. I just saw him on the BBC. I just want to put him in my pocket and feed him hersheys kisses. he's such a big cute kid.

    She's talented and kind of stunning, but also TINY. If it comes down to a fight I'm betting on Xisca. XD

    Well Shakira has a hot argentine boyfriend and has been with him since 2000. So don't worry Rafanatics she not after Rafa just watching some awesome tennis.
