Shakira and her partner Gerard Piqué have announced their separation.
The 45-year-old Colombian singer has confirmed that she is no longer together with the 35-year-old football player, with whom she has been together for 11 years and has two children.
The announcement came amid rumors in Spanish tabloids that the couple was on the verge of breaking up with sources claiming to have cheated on the star.
Shakira’s statement was: “We are sorry to confirm our separation. For the health of our children, which is our priority, we ask you to respect their privacy. Thank you for your understanding.’

The Spanish magazine magazine reported that the couple had been living apart for weeks after Pique was evicted from the family home by the pop star.
According to sources, Pique has since lived the “party lifestyle” of a bachelorette party and a night out with her teammates.
Neither party addressed the allegations of treason, but reporter Emilio Pérez said: “(Shakira) has made the decision to leave. This is true. it happened.
“Therefore there is distance. There may be nothing left, but it (infidelity) is over.’
Representatives did not respond when MailOnline contacted them for comment.

The former power couple was hit with split allegations in 2017, alleging that the two no longer live together and Shakira incited the split.
This was followed by weeks of speculation in the Colombian press about the state of the couple’s relationship, and one source said he “cannot handle the situation anymore”.
“This is a serious thing and he’s the one who finally made the decision,” they told the Spanish Cotilleo website.
The She Wolf singer pointed to the mismatch between the two in her latest hit song Te Felicito with Rauw Alejandro: ‘I smashed myself to complete you; I was warned but I didn’t listen; I understand yours is fake…
“It was a drop overflowing from the glass; Don’t tell me you’re sorry, it seems sincere, but I know you well and I know you’re lying.”
The couple has been together since 2011, and the couple met last year while filming the music video for the World Cup song Waka Waka.
Piqué’s team won the World Cup that year, where his future girlfriend played in the final.
Although the two met in 2010, the relationship between the two megastars would not officially begin until early 2011.

In late 2012, Shakira allegedly used the Instagram platform to announce to her fans that she was pregnant with the football star’s child.
Just two years after the birth of their son Milan, the couple went to the second tour and announced that they are expecting their second child, Sasha, born in 2015.
The couple openly admitted that they have no plans to marry, but this did not stop them from having a family life.
Speaking to Gary Neville in a recent episode of The Overlap, the Spanish international explained that he did not make the offer because their relationship is “going well as it is”.

“I like the way we are now. We have two kids, nine and seven, we work well as a couple. We don’t feel the need to get married, it’s okay,” said Pique.
After Gerard made his 600th appearance for Barcelona in March, Shakira set the finish line with an honest social media post.
In March, FC Barcelona defender risked the wrath of his teammate by saying that playing against Espanyol was better than sex.

He continued The Wild Project with YouTuber Jordi Wild: ‘I’m happy that Espanyol has promoted to the first division, because that’s how we play in their stadium.
‘I love coming here, I get booed all the time. Laugh and the fans are getting crazier.
“It’s like no other in the world. I can say it’s better than sex. I enjoy playing against Real Madrid a lot more,” he said.
The Hips Don’t Lie singer has previously praised her boyfriend’s parenting style, claiming he’s “his biggest support” when it comes to raising her own children.
He said: ‘He is realistic and very practical in problem solving. It helps me put everything into perspective when I’m stressed about how to organize or run things.
“And that’s my biggest boost. We’re both very resourceful parents, so it never feels like you have to carry the whole load by yourself. But it’s probably causing them to eat a little more chocolate than I would like.
