Gerard Piqué Talks About His Split with Shakira
Gerard Piqué has broken his silence regarding his split from Shakira. In an interview with El Pais, the former soccer player addressed the topic and said that “everyone has their responsibility to try to do what is best for their children.” Piqué revealed that his main focus is protecting their children and that it is his job as a father.
Piqué, who is now 36, and Shakira, who is 46, share two children together: Milan, who is 10, and Sasha, who is 8. The couple, who had been together for 11 years, announced their separation in June of 2022. While the break seemed amicable at first, rumors of Piqué’s infidelity surfaced in the tabloids, and Shakira didn’t hide her heartbreak in the press.
In a September interview with Elle, Shakira described going through her “darkest hour.” She added that it had been hard not only for her but also for her children. She explained that paparazzi were constantly following them, which made it difficult to do anything as a family without media coverage.
Although there have been tough times for Shakira, Piqué seems to be moving on. In his interview with El Pais, he mentioned being “very happy” and focused on doing what he wants in life. The athlete is currently dating Clara Chia Martí, who is 23 years old.
While Shakira has been dealing with a lot of negative attention lately, she seems to be taking back control of the situation. She recently released “BZRP Music Session #53,” which has become a chart-topper and a popular breakup anthem. The song even caught the attention of Adele, who joked that Piqué was in trouble after watching Shakira’s sultry performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
It’s clear that both Piqué and Shakira are trying to move on from their split and do what is best for their children. Piqué is focusing on being a present father and following his own path in life, while Shakira is reclaiming her narrative and making music that speaks to her experience. While the breakup may have been difficult, it’s clear that both parties are doing their best to move forward in a positive way.
