Overview
- A gossip account posted a photo and a blurry party video that purportedly show the two in the Hamptons on Sunday, July 26, and those anonymous tips were widely shared by tabloids and lifestyle outlets.
- People magazine published an unnamed insider who said the pair are “very new,” were introduced through mutual friends months ago, and have been spending time together this summer before Booker’s training begins.
- Neither Booker nor Shayk nor their representatives have publicly confirmed the reports, and several outlets say no independent corroboration has emerged.
- Journalists note the visual evidence is inconclusive because the Tutto Caffé image shows a man from behind, Shayk does not appear in that photo, and the Delilah footage is grainy and does not prove they arrived or left together.
- The story has been fueled by both stars’ high-profile past relationships and could follow Booker into the NBA season if substantiated, with some sources suggesting Shayk might attend games as the relationship develops.
